    I am only taking my prenatal.  I was also taking magnesium and vit D but was told to discontinue all supplements.

    I take my prenatal (has a DHA one too, but, I can barely stomach the prenatal so I'm not taking the DHA), Vitamin B6 & Unisom at night.

    I got the okay from my doc last week to resume taking this supplement.  I need it to not be sad during the winter.  Also, I got okayed to continue with 1,000mg of fish oil.  Both of these are helping keep the hormones in check as far as their effects on my mood.

    I take GNC's Prenatal w/ Iron, as well as their Calcium.  My doc said I need to be getting about 1200mg daily of Calcium, and the prenatal only has 600mg.  4 horse pills every night, joy!

    i take target brand prenatals, enfamil brand DHA (i think its that brand) and generic brand folic acid (because theres not a full 1 mg in my prenatal), plus fiber choice (1 chewable a day). i feel like an old person with my little stack of pills every morning.

    I am taking my prenatal vitamin, DHA supplement, and extra folic acid.  There is spina bifida in our family and the Dr said that extra folic acid couldn't hurt.

    I am taking a prenatal vitamin, DHA, calcium (because I doubt I am getting enough), and vitamin D because I barely see the sun. I have not ok'd this with my doctor, so hopefully it's fine.
