Recommend your prenatal vitamins!

kg_08

When I was pregnant with DD I took some prenatal vitamins that I absolutely loved! Unfortunately, they've raised their prices and I'm looking for a different brand now. (I'm not pregnant yet, but still taking my vitamins since I'm BF). Anyway, a few samples I took back in the day made me sick so I'm hoping you guys can recommend some inexpensive ones that you havn't had any issues with. Thanks!

Naturemade (the kind without DHA) is working well for me right now.  I take them with Expecta DHA.

My favs are Citranatal - made by citracal - but they are Rx & expensive!

I take the 1-A-Day brand, which I've had no problems with (unless I take it on an empty stomach).

Ditto, but for a while I couldn't even get crackers down for lack of appetite so I never was able to take it with enough food, so my doctor gave me some samples of CitraNatal (three pills a day instead of one) and they've gotten me through to 3 months. I'll pick up the One-A-Day's again once my tummy can take it.

Nature Made or the Target brand.  They both have the same amount of vitamins and minerals (I checked).  And I don't seem to have any probs with them.

Naturemade - never any problems here :-)

Target brand....I've never been constipated with them.  I've used them with all pregnancies and through breasfeeding.

Nature Made at Walmart or Walgreens. Never had any problems.

Rainbow light once a day prenatal. I have been using for years and really like it.

I think the key is to take capsules instead of tablets.  I can't take any tablets without getting extremely sick.

 

I also really liked Citranatal (as some other ppl mentioned), but they're expensive.  Since my insurance only covers the generic tablets and I have to pay for mine, I'm taking Prenexa-- they cost $52/month, but the samples came with a coupon that brought the cost down to $22.

I was taking the 1-A Days when ttc and for the first 2 months and I loved them ( but had to eat when taking them). My dr switced me to the Citra-natal about 3 weeks ago and I have been so constipated! It's killing me! I'm debating switching back to the 1-A days. I have an appt tomorrow so I'm going to ask my dr. Anyone else having this problem?

Im on prenatal plus it is a Rx and I really like them. My old Prenatals made me feel sick and these are great

Lurking I had horrible problems keeping any pre-natal vitamins down so my doctor recommended the gummy kind. You just chew two and they have stayed down, no problem and I haven't forgotten to take them once since I switched, they're really yummy! They don't have the fishy smell even though they have the DHA and fish oils in them. I found them at Wal-Mart.

I think the 1-A-Day brand has a stool softener with it, because I haven't had any constipation at all so far. I read somewhere online that a lot of commercial brands do this.

I take 1 A Days before bed so I don't have to worry about stomach issues at all.
