Anybody absolutely love theirs? I used to take Rainbow light but saw some controversy over an ingredient. Switched to similac but not loving these.

    I hate mine! They're the Walmart brand gummies and they taste so gross. I have to take them at night so I don't throw them up. I haven't gotten around to buying new ones yet though even though I really want to!

    I use the CVS brand, it's two pills one prenatal and one DHA. As long as I don't smell the DHA I'm fine. I also haven't thrown up so take that information for whatever you think it's worth.

    Nature made. I prefer to only have one pill with DHA in.

    I take the Nature Made with DHA as well. They aren't gummies but I don't seem to have a problem with stomaching them. I do take them right before bed so maybe I sleep off the yucky feeling.

    Second.  I take mine in the morning and am fine.  Sometimes I do have a bad taste when I burp, but probably because I am still trying to get better at eating breakfast sooner.

    I use One A Day prenatal and DHA ( 2 pills) I also take mine right before I go to bed. The DHA doesn't have a smell (neither does the vitamin). I was taking another brand but the smell was too much.

    I actually loved them but I saw one little thing about the red raspberry leaf extract that is supposedly only to be used after 20 weeks for uterine toning. I saw plenty of reviews of women who used them the entire pregnancy and only a few who think it had something to do with miscarriage. I've had two and took them with both and while my rational side says it had nothing to do with it my emotional side says, don't take it this time just in case. I hope I'm not scaring you from taking them! Sorry if I am!

    I use the Women's One a Day - they come with 2 pills, Multivitamin and DHA/EPA supplement. They don't have a strong smell and I take them right after I eat breakfast, so I haven't had any trouble with them making me sick.  I am thinking about switching when I finish this set because I noticed that it's a little pricier than other options.  We'll see.

    I cant wait until I'm done with nature made and can switch back to target brand. I can't stand the smell and taste. I'll take a seperate dha gummy.

    I take OmegaAvail Ultra DHA and Prenatal Pro by Designs for Health. You have to get them from a health professional though.

    This thread is very helpful!  I bought the Rainbow Light and after reading thru posts did some of my own research.  Switching over to Vita-Fusion gummies after reading thru some info.  

    FWIW - The Women's One a Day was the only vitamin tested by the FDA in 2007 that didn't dissolve.  However, its been some years since then and they may have changed their formula.

    I lied - I looked again and it is called nature valley and looks just like nature made. Sneaky walmart. I think its their brand.

    Wow, I have been taking Rainbow Light organic, and Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA. Now I'm nervous about the RL!

    I'm a bit nervous about Rainbow Lights, too! From what I've read online, Red Rasberry Leaf is safe in all stages of pregnancy unless you have a history of m/c. I have a call in to my doc, though, just to be sure...

    I read that too, but since this is my first pregnancy I have no idea if I have a history of m/c (insert slightly hysterical pitch).   *laughing at my own craziness

    Okay, I just spoke to my OB and he said there haven't been any trials to prove or disprove the red rasberry leaf theory (I honestly think he was probably googling it while we spoke). However, he would prefer that I discontinue use of Rainbow Light b/c of my own concern. He recommended Enfamil brand, but I plan to switch back later in my pregnancy. Hope this helps any of you that may be on the fence!
