what brand/kind of prenatal vitamins do you ladies take?

Leahauc · March 2015

I'm taking Garden of Life raw prenatals and supplement with dha soft gels. They're awesome if you can get past the taste lol.

SofiaIsabel · March 2015

Womens One a Day Prenatal multi + DHA

alliebarry13 · March 2015

I take the women's one a day prenatals.

Another question, sorry don't want to steal from your post!!! But how good are you at remembering to take it every day? And what time of day do you take it?

I'm so bad at remembering, always have been bad at remembering. That's prob why I'm in this situation bc I was horrible at taking b/c. But I like to take it before bed so I keep it next to my bed and I take it almost every day. I'm getting better!!

I take Nature Made Prenatal Multi + DHA. I like it but I have to remember to take it with food or it makes me nauseous (but all multivitamins do that to me).

@alliebarry13 maybe try getting one of those daily pill boxes? i know it seems super old lady-ish, but it does give you a visual reminder of whether or not you've take your vitamins/medicines for the day. I used to be awful about BC when I was on it, but I started using the pill pox with my BC, vitamin, and iron supplements and it helped a lot.

@asherk that's a good idea! Thanks

I take nature made prenatal also. In addition I take a calcium tab and a vitamin e tab. I wanted to make sure I get the proper calcium. Vitamin e because my skin is super itchy when I am not pregnant so it helps.
All vitamins I have to take with a FULL meal or that make me sick to my stomach. I also am not the greatest at remembering to take them so I take mind right before bed now. Never forget that way.

I tried 4 or 5 different prenatals in different forms and they all made me terribly sick. I lost a significant amount of weight in my first trimester.

Both the high risk OBGYN and my regular OBGYN told me to take two childrens flinstones vitamins daily. That works much better for me, tastes better, and I don't get sick

mvhove · March 2015

I am taking the up & up prenatal vitamins, plus nature maid fish oil pills for DHA and omega 3s. I take them every night when I'm getting ready for bed. Vitamins sometimes make me sick too, but taking them at night has helped me! Just made it part of my nightly routine.

ConlinToGillmore9909 · March 2015

@alliebarry13 I take them at night. I started taking them 3 months before our wedding because we wanted to start trying right away. They never made me nauseous and I don't ever wake up feeling weird. They are on my night stand and I always have water there too so I hardly ever forget! (Only time I forget is when I end up passing out on the couch and dragging myself to bed lol).

oneblessedmess · March 2015

Rainbow Light Complete Prenatals, plus Innovix Omega-3 fish oil caps for the DHA.

neufiesgirl · March 2015

Anybody take the up&up gummy prenatals?

Chellz84 · March 2015

I take the Garden of Life Raw prenatals. And I take the New Chapter Whole Mega. Which is omega 3,5,6,7,8 & 9.

I switched a couple months ago. From the One a day prenatal and+DHA. I also had used the Infamil one as well. Im SO happy I made the switch. Especially when I saw what the difference looked like between processesed oil and the good kind. I realized I was not taking the best vitamins I could.

kacdanz · March 2015

My doctor gave me tons of samples so I took several different types for about a month. When those ran out I went back to nature made.

corndogrobot · March 2015

I take the trader Joes prenatal. And gummy Vit D. I'm sure they will add iron at the next visit. And then I won't be able to poop again.

iteachkids81 · March 2015

I take the CVS brand prenatal plus a fish oil and vitamin d. I set an alarm for 6pm to take them. I take my thyroid pill in the morning and can't have iron or calcium supplements within 4hrs of it so is best to take it in the evening

LBland09 · March 2015

I take Trader Joe's easy on the stomach bc I've thrown up with vitamins my entire life. I take it right before bed and haven't had a problem since the second trimester.

LibbyC730 · March 2015

When we first started trying to conceive I took the up & up gummies. Switched to the One a Day shortly after I found out I was pregnant, mainly for the iron and DHA.

knkmomof2 · March 2015

Garden of life raw prenatal.

k3taeko · March 2015

I don't... I take flinstones hahaha my doctor recommended it since those prenatals would always make me want to hurl no matter what I tried taking them with. I take 2 tablets of the chewable flinstones and it has everything that my prenatal did (if not a little more).

ladytyger83 · March 2015

I take centrums prenatal
With dha. I also take mine right before bed. If I'm very exhausted my Dh reminds me.

AlexandraMarcotte · March 2015

I threw up every type of prenatal vitamin I tried, so I take flintstones complete alongside an additional 400mcg of folic acid.

KatrinaPR · March 2015

Garden of Life Kind Organics Whole Food multivitamin & Flora DHA Vegetarian Algae.

The Flora pill is SO much easier to handle than the oil blend I was trying to drink. Even so, after taking these for so many months they seem to taste worse as time goes on. Oh well!

inLOVEalready715 · March 2015

I take the nature made with dha they are nice soft gel caps and you only need 1 a day. I was taking completia and they were super organic and gross and you had to take 4 a day...puke city! I also take a mega b vitamin foltanx rf caps my OB prescribed them and I take two colace a day, just came off baby aspirin. I take all my pills after dinner and I use an old lady pill box because I'm too lazy to open all the bottle every night. It saves me a lot of time. DH has a reminder go off every night at 10:30pm to make sure I didn't forget to take them...because my pregnancy brain sucks!

KAR8706 · March 2015

I'm taking GNC's prenatal with iron and DHA. Its 3 softgels daily which is kind of alot but they work well.

0ashley · March 2015

I have several bottles of OTC and prescriptions ones I don't like.

I've been taking these tasty gummies and love them: https://www.drugstore.com/vitafusion-prenatal-adult-vitamins-gummies-lemon-and-raspberry-lemonade/qxp261672 (cheaper on Amazon but the photo is clearer on this site)
