Hello Ladies,

First of all, I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. My period is about a week late. I took 5 Pregnancy tests (can you tell I'm one of those people who is a pain in the butt? :biggrin: ) 3 of the digital one showed "Pregnant" and 2 of them were the blue line type, it the plus wasn't that clear to see.

Prior to this, I've been taking the chewable Flintstones Complete. Once I did the P-test and I realized i might be preggo, I started taking Prenatal Vitamins.

I crush the prenatal pill and just add the powder to yogurt. My problem is the Fishoil softgel. That thing is Ginormous! For the pass two days, I have poke a hole into the softgel, squeeze out the oil and mix it with food. The stinks so bad I could barely keep my food down .

My questions to you ladies, are you taking those softgel fishoil? What are my alternative to taking this disgusting thing that is suppose to be good for me? Is there any other brand of Prenatal vitamins I should look into? And where can I find them?

Also, have anyone tried the Hershey's Goodnight Hugs and Kisses Hot cocoa? I heard they are good and 99.9% Caffeine free.

Thank you so much everyone~! I will keep you update on my "maybe" status once it turns into "confirmed".

Raw sushi is not OK, don't eat it during pregnancy.

I got a flyer about it, I think it's either a bacteria or food poisoning thing. I forget now, cause I don't eat raw sushi. I eat the cooked rolls like california roll or crunchy shrimp roll, etc.

I saw my OB yesterday and she said I didn't need prenatals, what I was doing was sufficient. I am taking chewable Spectravite orange flavored multi-Vitamins from CVS pharmacy and a Folic Acid supplement from Walmart (the pills are teeny-tiny, like baby aspirin). Total Folic Acid is 800 between the two sources - she said she wanted me taking 800-1000, but when we discussed my diet (lots of healthy Proteins, veggies and dairy products) she said I was in great shape.

The first OB appointment was interesting with the ultrasound. My husband was with me during the whole appointment, and was definitely squirmy when she was doing the physical examination . . . staring at an interesting spot on the ceiling, lol. The doctor asked me if I was working out three times a week . . . I said yes. Well, that was true until about two weeks ago when I had started getting too darn tired to make a decent supper or sometimes get up up off the couch after working all day, lol. When she walked out of the room, he said "Hmm, three days a week???" I almost pelted him with a magazine, lol. Anyways, I am off on a tangent.

I only eat the cooked rolls too. There is just something about sushi and soy sauce that seems to make a really light, healthy and enjoyable lunch.

I took a Japanese class some years ago and we went to a Japanese restaurant as a group. I tried Octopus sushi, which wasn't cooked, and I didn't realize what it was until I had tried it and noticed the sucker from a tentacle on another one. It didn't want to go down, and I was much too polite to spit it in a napkin, so I had to grin and swallow . . . . yuuuccckkkk. I vowed to never eat uncooked sushi again, expecially any form of Octopus sushi.
