I get mine via Rx from a local pharmacy (Meijer) which has a free prenatal program for generics. They are called Triveen & are gel caps w/DHA & 1.2 mcg folic acid.

I was taking the ones that were prescribed by my doc, forgot the name of them... but they made me a little queasy. Now I'm on the OTC ones from Rite Aid, with no problems.
Do regular multivitamins make you nauseous? If not, check with your doc... you may be OK taking a multi and adding in a folic acid supplement.
Some of the women's multis actually have folic in them, I noticed that last week while obsessing over labels at the pharmacy, haha!
Got a huge bottle of Vitafushion Gummy vitamins at Sam's club. I love these vitamins, as I don't have to worry about food with them and don't even need a glass of water. Never thought I'd go the gummy route, but I'm sold!

PAIF/SAIF welcome
I take DuetDHA, my sister in law works for a gyn, she said this is the best out there, she took it and so as the gyn herself. I have been taking them for few months and I feel pretty good. No negative effect on me.
I take NeevoDHA. They are prescription. My RE prescribed them. They don't make me nauseous at all. They have iron in them so you may need some additional fiber to keep things moving if you know what I mean.
I take Citra Natal Assure w/DHA (prescription)...it's one a day and really easy on my sensitive stomach...they taste like vanilla when I initially put them in my mouth...go figure! They specifically say "gentle on baby and mother" on the box.
My RE gave me samples of CitraNatal Harmony, but I am afraid to take them because vitamins typically make me nauseous. I am currently taking the Vitafusion prenatal gummies with no problems.
