    Sorry, nothing from me. I take Target gummy prenatals bc I'm a giant wimp when it comes to swallowing pills. Plus they taste like candy.

    I don't know if they're considered natural but my doctor has me on Theralogix.  She says they are one of the few that go through extra testing for purity.

    I take the Target brand.   I took them with DD and since they didn't make me sick last time, I stuck with them for this time too.   Plus they aren't expensive which is a bonus!

    My doctor prescribed me some called Prenatal Plus. They have iron in them.

    I take the Whole Foods 365 prenatals. They are big horse pills, but only one a day. I should also tell you that they smell awful, which was a problem in my 1st trimester, but doesn't bother me now.

    I buy the Rainbow Lite from Target that you take once a day. It also has probiotics which is also helpful. I've been taking them since January with no side effects!

    I take the New Harvest Perfect Prenatals.  They're made from whole foods, so they're easy on the stomach (they smell a little like yeast, which is a nice change from the chemical smell of other vitamins).  The daily dose is three pills, but you can take them all at once (that's what I do) or spread them out.

    I love the Trader Joe's prenatals they have some gentle soothing ingredients that does not give me an upset stomach like the other ones did and I always make sure I have a full stomach before taking one.  I take one at night before I head to bed.

    I take 

    Super Nutrition Simply One Prenatal Multivitmain/Mineral Supplement 

    It has 50mg less calcium in it than the Rainbow Light 1 a day prenatal. I think Gaia brand prenatal has even more calcium in their prenatal.  

    Calcium hinders iron absorption. So I don't know why it is included in prenatals at all. Of course, you can take you iron with Vitamin C totally separate from your prenatal.

    I misremembered. Rainbow Light has the same amount of calcium as Simply One prenatal. It was some other prenatal at Whole Foods that had more calcium.

    I take 2 Flintstones a day. I doubt they're natural, but they don't make me sick or constipated.

    I have switched to Naturesmade with Dha they are a gel cap so they don't get caught in my throat like the others. Not an organic vitamin but they work.
