so I'm TTC...my ob/gyn prescribed me some pre-natal vitamins....well, they are huge!  the biggest pills I have ever seen and they are coated in a wierd rubber material......can I take these?
has anyone had problems taking such a large pill?  should I ask for something different?

They should be fine -- you're not early out, so you should be alright.

I was okay as far as absorbing the prenatal vitamins but I hated them being so huge.  I have switched to a powder (liquid w/2 ounces of water only) vitamin which doesn't taste bad and is called Isotonix brand Prenatal vitamins.  www.marketamerica.com/nuhealthyliving.  (If you sign up as a preferred customer, you will get points to use on future purchases of vitamins - I also get my calcium plus and b-complex from there in liquid form too)
