PN Vitamins +DHA?

in December 2012 Moms

Our doctor recommands Nature Made PN vit Plus DHA which you can buy OTC. Is DHA really that important? On the label it says it may help support eye/brain development?  

What do you guys think and what PN are you taking?

    I bought the Target brand (Up & Up) gummie with DHA. I went for the chewable because regular multi-vitamins make me naseous. I haven't started with morning sickness yet but I didn't want to give it a reason to show up!

    I take One a Day or Target Up and Up PN w/DHA, an additional 500mg calcium and 1000 mg vitamin D3 (Dr's orders)   I'm no expert on DHA but if the Dr. tells me it's good for the baby, then I'm on board!

    I was taking Nature Made with DHA, but it contains red 40 which has been linked to ADHD in children so I bought Rainbow Light prenatal. I'm not planning on adding a DHA supplement.

    My Dr gave me a RX brand of PNV back in November, but she said that if I wanted to take an OTC brand then to make sure it had DHA. Most of them do anyway so I listened to her advice.

    I take the Target gummies.  I have a tough enough time swallowing pills, and I know that even thought I was OK swallowing the PNV while ttc, it would only be a matter of time before I would not be able to swallow them at all.

    I've taken a fish oil/dha supplement for years, well before I even started taking PNV for TTC.  There's a lot of other benefits to DHA to you, not just the baby, so I plan on continuing to take mine. 
    Also, I take the vitafusion gummy prenatals, which I love.

    DHA is really important because it can help with baby's cognition and brain function/growth, nervous system and the eyes.  As an acupuncturist, I recommend whole food prenatal multivitamins for the most absorption, plus a good DHA supplement.  I am 4 wks (due Dec 8th) and I personally take Rainbow Light Organic Prenatals plus NewChapter Organics Prenatal Omega-3 (DHA).  All products by Rainbow Light and NewChapter are really great and I buy them through amazon to save money.  I do the subscribe and save but I tried both brands' prenatal vitamins before choosing the RL ones and then subscribed to save money.  The NewChapter ones were the best I saw for the DHA, because they are made with wild Alaskan salmon, which is really low in mercury and great for you.  RL also makes a DHA pill though and it is supposed to be good as well.  Good luck!
