which one do you take? is there a difference?

I take an OTC. It is a prenatal vitamin and a DHA supplement - 2 different pills.

I take Target brand pnv in addition to my extra Rx folic acid (4mg/day) and my RE said it was perfectly fine. It seems to me the largest difference between otc and Rx pnv is the amount of folic and sometimes DHA.

the otc one i take has 250% of your daily folic acid, do i really need more than that?

and lcb what kind of dha are you taking. i want to start on that asap.

I take One a Day - Women's Prenatal I think. It comes with two bottles - the PNV in one and the DHA in the other. It comes in a pink box.

I take Target brand and add in 800 mg of folic acid (family history of spinal defects)

I take prescription vitamins but may look into OTC depending on their folic acid intake. I also do take 4 mg OTC folic acid so I need my PNV to have 1 mg of FA at least.
