Prenatal vitamins can be hazardous to your health*



This isn't the thumbs-up sign.

It's just my thumb. My poor, injured thumb. You probably can't tell, but I got a cut just under my nail from trying to pop out a prenatal vitamin from its package. And I have a little blood blister too.

(Why are things so hard to open nowadays?)

The things no one tells you about when you're pregnant . . . .

I know you're really feeling for me. I appreciate your sympathy.

*And I'm not even talking about the lead in prenatal or children's vitamins.

My husband accused me of being addicted to prenatal vitamins ;) I think I've been taking them since my first pregnancy Jan 2005! :)

That looks (well, really, sounds) painful!

My prenatals did and still do give me really long and strong nails. I end up cutting them back!

I hate boo-boos. I hope you are feeling better soon. Maybe one of those ingredients in those vitamins will speed up the recovery process.

Yeowch! I'm sorry.

I'm with you. Those caps are really not just "child-proof"

I do sympathize, those under the nail gashes are painful. You can't even put a band-aid on those suckers. :(

It seems that I am arriving late to the party yet again. Congratulations, Holly, on your pregnancy! My sentiments are still just as geniune, even though a bit tardy.

Now, take care of that thumb.
