Costco prenatal vitamins?

Anyone used them?

My insurance has changed (to a super cruddy plan) and they no longer cover my prenatal vitamins so I'm looking for something really cost effective.

Also, is it okay that I switch vitamins now? Aren't they all pretty much the same?

That's what I take... I can't imagine there's any issue in changing either and you should be able to compare the %s to see

I didn't do Costco ones but I did get mine at Target their brand . I compaired them with the other prenatals and they were the same levels of stuff and something like 10.00 for 200 of them.

I use them and haven't had any problems. They don't have DHA so I just take that seperately.

love them! and I still take them... my Dr said they are a great all around vitamin...

That's the only prenatal vitamin I ever took, and recently I started getting constipated. My OB's office sent me home with a 3 month supply of samples, so when I do get pg, I will probably just stock up on samples every month.

I take the costco prenatal vitamins and my dr. said they were fine - that's what most of her patients use.

I take the Target brand prenatals. My doc said any of them are fine and have most of the same ingredients. I do take supplemental folic acid though.

Top Foods gives away free pre-natals. I don't remember the specifics but it might be worth checking out.

Yes, I have heard that Haggen/Top Foods do free prenatals with a prescription. I haven't tried it though...I can't swallow those giant prenatals so I take an assortment of vitamins with my doctor's okay.

I would think the Costco ones should be fine, like others said, all the same ingredients.

I'm currently taking the Costco prenatals, too. I used to take the Target or RiteAid brands, depending on who had the better price. The only issue I have with the Costco ones is the coating isn't enough for me. They break down quickly, so I take them right before bed.

I took Costco prenatal vitamins when I was pg w/ DS.

I'm taking them right now and my doctor said there is nothing wrong with them. My sister who is a pharmacist said they are just as good as prescription prenatals, but she also suggested I take a separate folic acid too.
