Prenatal vitamin suggestions?

I just found out this morning that i am pregnant and was wondering if any of you had any prenatal vitamin suggestions? My doctor told me to get OTC until I got in for my first appt and this will be my first baby. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!

  • I just take an OTC one I got at the grocery store, it's nature made :)  Congrats, btw!

  • Congrats on your BFP! I'm taking Nature Made with DHA. So far so good they haven't made me sick when I take them.

  • I take Rainbow Lite. I get them at Whole Foods. They're food based, so vegan and gluten free. They have iron and are really easy on my stomach. Usually when I take any sort of extra iron I get constipated, but these haven't had any negative affects on my

  • I use Nature Made, but just so you know, you NEED to eat at least 100-200 calories with it or you will be very, very queasy!

  • Another vote for Nature Made with DHA. I take it in the morning with a really big glass of chocolate milk and it works for me. Some definitely prefer and feel better taking it with food, though.

  • Make sure it has 100 percent daily value of folic acid and DHA. If you bought one that doesn't have DHA you can purchase a DHA supplement to take along with your prenatal.

  • I found a CVS brand that I like it has one "vitamin" and the other is a DHA pill. Annoying to have to take 2 pills but this is the only one I found with nonfish DHA. I was taking and allinone with DHA but even just touching the pill for two seconds to put
  • I use the Target brand gummy prenatal and have been taking them for over 4 months.  You can take them on an empty stomach and never get sick.

     

     

  • I've always used OneADay Prenatal and DHA.  It's two pills that I have no issue swallowing, personally.  The DHA is pretty intimidating looking, however.  I know some women need to eat with it, but I don't.  However, I have begun takin
