Prenatals?

MamaMercy · January 2012

Hello Lovelies

I have been taking Women's Once A Day Multivitamin. My OBGYN told me to switch to Prenatal Vitamins. I had a bad experience with the rx ones he gave my first pregnancy, they made me so sick to my stomach I couldnt hardly stand them. He said that any over the counter one would be fine, so I was just wondering what some are that work well for some of you! TIA! Hope you all had a great Monday!

Try a gummy brand. There are several out there. I think Target sells 2 different ones.

Also, try taking them at night before you go to bed.

ETA: I take NatureMade. I get them at Target.

Regular vitamins made me nauseous so I was worried starting prenatals however I take NatureMade Pretatal + DHA and have had no problems at all (I do try and take them with/just after a meal)

I like the Simply One Prenatal from Whole Foods. I like them because they also have green food in them which is easier for your body to take in. I have not had any issues with them. Also, I take them right before bed so I might sleep through any issues....

In addition to the prenatal I take fish oil

I've been taking Target up and up brand prenatals for years and never had any problems with them.

Some women get sick because of the amount of iron in prenatals. Tell your doctor about how you got sick and ask if there's a "low iron" version he can recommend to you.

I buy mine at walmart but I don't remember what brand. I take them with food to avoid an upset stomach.

I am taking the Women's One a Day Prenatal + DHA. I used to take the regular multivitamin before too. They haven't made me sick at all. I just take them in the AM with breakfast.

I take the Women's One A Day Prenantal + DHA. I take them with lunch and haven't had a problem with them upsetting my stomach.

I'm taking Nature's Bounty prenatals softgels which include DHA. They only make me sick if I take it on an empty stomach. I always take it right after I eat dinner and haven't had any problems.
