    I take Neevo dha.  It has a great taste, no side effects.

    I'm on PregVit 5 (it's a prescription prenatal with 5mg of folic acid). Just annoying because you have to take one pill in the morning and the other at night.

    I've been taking Prena1 which is the generic of the VitaPearl. I like it because it doesn't upset my stomach if I take it without food, and it's free through my insurance and auto-delivered each month.

    I also take nature made prenatal multi + DHA. I also take an additional folic acid supplement and a magnesium supplement (supposed to reduce morning sickness if you bulk up on it prior to pregnancy).

    ...other than that I take vitamin D (which I think EVERYONE should because most people are deficient)

    I also take Nature Made PreNatal Multi + DHA.  I take it at night with other meds so I'm not sure if it upsets the stomach or not because I go straight to sleep. I've purchased it at Target, CVS and Walgreens.  The last time I got a buy one get one free deal at CVS.

    I was taking Nature Made PreNatal Multi + DHA, but the fishy taste grossed me out. I switched to a gummy vitamin for now but I don't want the sugar so I purchased the Rainbow Light mini for when I run out. Thing is I just realized that one doesn't have DHA built in so I guess I will have to buy a separate DHA!! Oops. :blush:
