I got a bottle of prentatal vitamins from dominicks and they were just too large for me to swallow so today I went to walgreens and purchased, Finest Natural DHA Complete Dietary Supplement...containing 200mg of plantpure DHA per serving. Will this do the job?

    Sometimes your body needs different things than someone else's body needs.  Make sure there are adequate amounts of folic acid also (at LEAST 400mgs).  Bring the bottle with you to your next apt. and make sure :)

    My Dr. told me that as long as my vitamin has 400 - 800mgs of folic acid that will be fine.  The other vitamins are just little extras.

    You can google required needs in pre natal vitamins for preg women and a whole list of the vitamins and percentages will come up to tell you if there is enough in the ones that you are taking.

    Why didn't you just cut the big ones in half?

    My doctor prescribed mine...Prenate Elite. They aren't too big but then again I have taken loads of vitamins everyday since I was young...gotta thank my Mom for that. I would get a brand recommended by your doc or see if they can prescribe some right for you!? I could be wrong. Wink

    I had my dr prescribe mine. The over the counter ones are too big for me as well.

    Google the precentages and make sure your vitamin meets all the requirements :)
