Which Vitamins/Supplements Are You Taking?

I'm just taking a prenatal but wondering if I should supplement with an Omega 3 because I rarely eat seafood and my prenatal only has like 50mg of Omega 3. I'll ask my dr at my first appt, which isnt until December 9th, but just wondering about other people.

My prenatal has no DHA/Omega-3, so I take it separately.  I have to check the bottle when I get home tonight, I don't remember the brand offhand.  Ideally, you should take 300mg while pregnant, and I know that's what's in each of my pills, so I'm thinking that's probably standard for the supplement.

Pro Tip: your prenatal should do the trick. Unless you really love having fish burps

VitaFusion Prenatal Gummies, they have Folic Acid & DHA. They however do not have iron. I took them during my 1st pregnancy and only had to take iron supplements for a short period of time in 3rd trimester.

That's what I'm taking too but they only have like 65 mg of Omega- 3's

Walmart brand prenatal and DHA. It comes in a combo pack for about $6

If you freeze fish oil and take it at night you won't burp it up.

I've heard that you cant take an iron and calcium supplement at the same time because the calcium interferes with the absorption of the iron.

I use one a day prenatal. It's two separate pills, dha and the prenatal.
