What PNV are you taking?

I'm taking the Target brand Prenatal Vitamin, but I'm wondering what better ones might be out or better.  I'm planning to ask my doctor but I just want to see what others are using.

    I've been taking Nature's Made since I went off BCPs with no issues.

    A lot of people take the Target PNV.  I'd say, if it doesn't make you sick, we already know it's well-priced, I'd stick with it!

    That said, I take Finest (Walgreens brand) PNV.  They're about $11 for a two months supply, and more importantly, they don't make me sick!

    I take the One A Day with DHA supplament.  CVS has their own version that I'll probably get next month, since it's a little cheaper.

    I was taking the Target one before I got pregnant, but since all the samples the Dr gave me had the DHA supplament, I thought maybe I'd better get one that has it.

    I'm taking the One a Day with DHA like one of the PPs. It's been fine for me...take it at night.  It's 2 pills so I like that because they're each reasonable size.

    I am not sure how accurate this is AT ALL, but my mom saw on TV that only the name brand vitamins are good because non-name brand are not regulated.  She then demanded I take a name brand vitamin and told me it would be "her contribution" (aka she buys them for me). LOL again, not sure if this is accurate or not.  It was on Good Morning America.

    My doctor suggested the one at Walmart! So that's the one I use, not equate, but it's In a green bottle!

    I take CitraNatal Assure - it's 2 capsules, the regular pre-natal vitamin and then a DHA supplement.  They are prescription and I love them.  Been taking them for 18 months actually...

    My doc said anything with DHA is good, so like other ppl I've been taking the One A Day two-pack with daily multi and DHA supplement. I found them on special at Target, $13 for 30-day supply, but sounds like other people have found better deals!

    I take the One A Day ones also.

    I started with the NaturesMade brand, and they made me sick.

    I was taking Nature Made but they made me so sick.  My doctor told me to take 2 childrens vitamins instead.  Either the fruity chewables or the gummy ones.  They have everything you really need when you're pregnant.  I switched and after taking them I actually felt better, not worse!

    I am taking Maxi Pre-Natals by Country Life.  My family wellness Dr. suggested them.  They don't have any wheat, gluten,soy, milk, salt, sugar, preservatives or artificial colors.  Basically all natural.  The bad part is that it says to take 2 pills 3 times a day.  Hasn't been too bad.  It's interesting because it has ginger and red raspberry leaf in it.......I've been reading how these are natural "meds" that help with morning sickness.  It's pricy......$28.00 for a 30 day supply.  

    My percribed PNV with my son made me sick so i decided this was worth a try.

    I take the One A Day prenatals.  I often have to wait 15 mins after I eat to take one though or it may make me queasy.  But I was taking one a day for women prior to pregnancy so it felt natural to switch to their PNV.

    I take the Nature Made prenatal with DHA and have had no problems with it.  My doctor gave me some sample and a prescription for a prescription only, so I may switch to that depending on cost, it has all the same nutrients at my NatureMade.

    This is exactly what my DR did to me she switched me to flinstones because I had tried 3 different brands and I threw them all up. I love the gummy ones Big Smile

    I take the Target brand and my DR says that are perfectly adequate. She said not to waste money on the name brands b/c they are all the same. And the Target brand pills are smaller and easier to swallow.

    I'm taking PregVit.  It's a precription.

    I love it because it splits the vitamins up into 2 pills (one in the morning and one with supper).  It is designed to be easier to swallow and help prevent morning sickness.
