so I bought Rainbow Light prenatals

I have seen multiple people on 1st Tri suggest them.  You can get them at Whole Foods, and on Amazon.

OMG, the directions say to take 6 a day.  Either 2 pills 3 times per day, or 3 pills twice a day.  They are huge (no a big deal), but they aren't coated, so when you put one in your mouth and add water to swallow, it tastes so nasty.  Like grass - because they have "super green" nutrients added.

I think I'm going to mix up my prenatals.  Take these some days, finish off my 1 a day prenatals another, and I have gummy prenatals for the days I'm really feeling sick.

Is anyone else rotating?  They all seem to highlight slightly different nutrients.

Also - the only pills I have right now with DHA are some of the samples from my doctor (which I'm almost out of), and the gummy prenatals.  Should I take a separate DHA supplement on the days I'm consuming prenatals without DHA?

    I take Vitamin Code RAW prenatals that don't have DHA and I take a MorDHA prenatal supplement.

    I couldn't deal with swallowing that much (lol).  I'm fine with my gummies.

    Honestly, a good diet is more important than a prenatal.  We're all past the critical folic acid stage since the neural tube is closed, so I wouldn't stress about which ones you take.

    Hmm..I am curious- which Rainbow Light do you have?  I just looked at mine and it says serving size is 1 tablet. I have the Rainbow Light Just Once pills.  I just had a mini-panic moment bc I have been taking it 1x a day.

    I am sure rotating is completely fine.  I would take a DHA supplement on the days you are taking a prenatal without.

    I saw the one a day RL pills and now wish I had bought those instead.

    I purchased "Rainbow Light Complete Prenatal System".

    The front says several things including "wholesome green foods".  The pills are pretty green.

    Okay, so I will order DHA from Amazon rather than go out again.  I think that is most important in the 2nd and 3rd tris if I remember correctly.

    CloudBee, I took those before I was PG with Owen... then I had to stop taking them because I was SO sick. I really liked them though. They are my favorite because of all they have in them. I bet you could take half a dose if that is bothering you. If your diet is OK, you may not need a full dose.  I am just watching my diet because for some reason my stomach cannot handle vitamins while pregnant. I'd rather be able to keep food down. :/

    I take the Rainbow Light Prenatal One.  It's just 1x/day.  I really like the way I feel when I take them. I also take an additional Folic Acid (800mg) because my dr. recommends taking at least 1000mcg.
