Trying to Get Pregnant

Prenatals

Just curious what prenatals everyone is on. My doctor put me on Prenatal Plus Tab and the generic form Vol Plus Tab Trig is free at Meijer! But I'm unsure of the ingredients..if you have any insight I'd love to hear!

Re: Prenatals

  • I'm still taking my One-A-Day. Since it has folic acid, my OB said to just continue to take those (since I have them) at this point. Once the bottle is out and/or I get KU I will switch to a pnv with DHA.

  • My doctor has me on a different prescription pill now, but I've taken Prenatal Plus and OTC Rainbow Light One in the past.

    What do you mean about the ingredients? You can do a Google search for the pill to find out what's in it. You can also do a search to find the recommended value for each nutrient if you want.

  • I had a hard time finding the list of the ingredients but I just came across it. I am mainly concerned about the B vitamins. My prenatal has 10mg of B6 and 12mcg of B12. I am taking an additional B100-Complex to help with progesterone levels.

  • I take gummy PNV.  They don't have iron, which is easier on my stomach.  Once I get pregnant I will switch to a PNV with iron or add an iron supplement if needed.

  • I was taking the gummies by VitaFusion, but switched to the regular PNV by NatureMade about two months ago (cheaper)

    Some have said they upset their stomachs or cause constipation, but I've not had either of these issues.

  • I take the Target brand gummies. I don't even take the PNV version because the regular type has folic acid in it and costs like $5 less, and my husband takes them too
  • I'm on the Target Up & Up brand for now. If I get KU, I will switch to a vitamin with DHA.

    I also take Target brand and fish oil! Oh and when I first started on TB a few weeks ago, I signed up for a free month of Enfamil Expecta prenatals and 30 dha pills too. I'll be trying those when I'm out of these. I'll keep you all posted!
  • I take GNC prenatals with DHA. They contain all the recommended ingredients, as well as DHA. They do not contain any artificial colors or ingredients, which is a very important detail for me. The last thing I want to do is fill my potential LO with chemicals and artificial colors before they are born. $20 a month

    TTC our first. Married to, and madly in love with, my beautiful wife. Living with our fur baby and enjoying 19 nieces and nephews.

    I take the Vitafusion prenatal gummies; they have all the things I was looking for (dha, folic acid, fish oil) & none of the things I'm trying to avoid (artificial colors, flavors, etc.) Sure wish they were cheaper, though!
  • rtv3rtv3 member
    I take the plain old Target PNV's. about $13ish I think for 200. I take it at supper to prevent nausea.

    This. The gummies don't have iron, but I was already taking an iron supplement. I caught them on sale at Walgreens a while back!
