Can’t swallow tablets, can chew Blackmore pregnancy capsules?

Hi, first time mum here. I can’t swallow tablets, was wondering if I can bite the Blackmore pregnancy & breast feeding capsules? Heard some medications can’t do that but I can’t find anything online

Oh I really feel you on this, swallowing capsules during pregnancy is genuinely tough, especially when nausea makes everything worse! Someone in my mum group mentioned that the Blackmores pregnancy capsules can actually be bitten open and the contents mixed into a small amount of food or drink, since they're soft gel capsules rather than hard compressed tablets. That said, a few mums did say the fish oil inside can taste a bit strong, so mixing it into something flavoured like yogurt or juice helps mask it. Do still check with your gynae or pharmacist before you start though, just to be safe, they can confirm the best way for you specifically!
