Wow! It’s Wednesday!: A Most Serious Question

Oct 22, 2008 5 Comments by Ernessa

So, I always make sure to take my prenatal pill, first thing after I get in to work with my breakfast cereal. Not just for the health of the dot in my womb, or because the side of the pill bottle says that you should take one a day with a meal. No, I choose to do this every morning in the office, because there are a lot of other people at work, and I’m fairly certain that at least one of them must know the Heimlich Maneuver.

Is it possible to choke to death on a prenatal pill? No, seriously, I want to know, because I feel it’s just a matter of time before one gets stuck in my esophagus and I find myself in need of life saving measures.

I  did find these lovely small ones at Longs Drugs, which I’ve been taking for almost a year now. But then after finding out, I was actually with dot, I did some research and discovered that these smaller pills don’t have quite as much iron as I’m supposed to take and no Vitamin K whatsoever. So we went to Whole Foods and found a 365 brand pill with all the Vitamins A,C,D,E,K, folic acid, and iron that I need (according to the all knowing internet).

However, these new pills are huge, and I have to resist the urge to neigh like a horse before putting them in my mouth.

Women, if you know of a prenatal pill that doesn’t make a chyck feel like she’s playing Russian Roulette every time she takes one, please let me know in the comments.

Men, if you’ve made it this far, you’re awesome, and you will be duly rewarded, because Delia’s Chic Geek is all about the dudes this week. So definitely come back for that at 10am.

    Get a prescription for NutriNate chewable pre-natals. I’m taking them and I love them. But forget taking them with your cereal — not supposed to take them with dairy.

    You could try QB Complete. I took those when I was pregnant and they weren’t too bad.
