Non-stinky prenatal?

I am in search of a good food-based prenatal that doesn't stink.  I bought some Rainbow Light one-a-days last night and started gagging as soon as I took the cotton out of the bottle.  I can't stand that grassy vitamin smell!  Are there any food-based vitamins that have any sort of coating on them to minimize the stink?  My midwife told me about a liquid prenatal but I'm a little leery of that as well - would hate to buy it and find out it smells/tastes awful.  :(

Super Nutrition has pepperminty smell, probly specifically for morning sickness. Tho the one Im taking is the 6 per day, so theres that to consider. Also, anythin in capsules should be easier than tabs....

I just found a gummy prenatal, so I'm taking that while the morning sickness is the worst, and will try to take my Rainbow Light ones after that.

Sadly, I can't even blame it on morning sickness - I can't stand the smell even when I'm not pregnant!  Blech.

I know this sound obvious but can you just not smell them (like hold your breath, plug your nose, whatever you have to do) and have a strong chaser like some type of concentrated fruit juice?

I also take the rainbow light - I keep it in the fridge and take at night with some lemon water. Not perfect, but much better

I can give it a shot, but my gag reflex is crazy strong when it comes to that awful grassy smell.

And that is why I'm taking the gummies for now!

I'm a fan of the gummy prenatals too.  It is like a treat rather than torture!
