Any good prenatal vitamins

I love the Up&Up Target brand. They have a DHA supplement that I take with them. They have never made me sick.

Duffgurl · September 2014

I like these from Wal-Mart.

AmandaD30 · September 2014

I'll second the rainbow light prenatal one!

I take the woman's one a day prenatal with a dha supplement

sleepysheep85 · September 2014

I take the Walgreens brand that comes with DHA supplement.

Nature made with DHA

MusicTeacher82 · September 2014

I like Up & Up, too.

I was taking Up and Up with a DHA supplement. Web I went to my first appt, my MW have me a prescription for a prenatal w DHA. She said the over the counters are perfectly fine and this is just her preference because the prescription pill is regulated by the FDA for ingredients. So far, the script pill isn't bad: no nausea or upset stomach when I take it.

My midwife prescribed the ones with DHA in them already. Cheaper than buying off the shelf. I'm lucky to have great insurance:) but before that I bought Wal mart brand. The DHA pills gave me diarrhea if I didn't take them with food tho.

tiboshart · September 2014

I take the enfamil brand that comes with the multi and a plant-based dha.

Burried treasure, liquid. I like that I can put it in juice or smoothies.

mrs miranda johns · September 2014

many of those cheaper brands are made from synthetic supplement sources and are actually doing more harm than good, FDA approval means nothing! I only take garden of life organics prenatal it is sourced from whole foods it's not the cheapest but worth it! And Nordic Naturals prenatal DHA...

Vitafusion gummies. I like them. Note, they do not contain iron. My ob said that was no problem and we'd test my iron periodically to see if I need a supplement.

greenie333 · September 2014

I take the rainbow light complete prenatal - they have all the iron and calcium needed but you have to take 6 a day. But it's better that taking calcium and iron and b6 and everything else for me because the calcium and iron don't constipate me like some of the other brands. I would say that if you have one you like the stick with it, though - as long as your MD approves!

Woman's one a day with DHA

leoni7 · September 2014

New Chapter from Whole Foods. They were recommended by a friend and I really like them. I have my first ob appt on Monday and I'm going to see if I should get a folic acid and calcium supplement as well.

QueenVict0ria · September 2014

I take the up and up gummies from target. They make me feel sick if I eat them without a meal tho :-S

somethingclever3 · September 2014

New chapter contains 600 of Folate instead of 800 Folic Acid. Folate is a superior whole food version vs a chemically synthesized version. You should be fine if not better

ThisAgain · September 2014

However, New Chapter was purchased by Proctor and Gamble 2 years ago. It's still the same formula; However, that can change depending on how well it continues to do. Just keep an eye out on it.

I use the gummy vitamins, but I always wonder if they have the same amount of nutrition as other ones.

jedimindtrick · September 2014

I have been on the Rainbow Light one a day for 2 years (previous preg and BFing). I like them. I don't have time for that numerous pill stuff. I would never remember. And they don't make me sick. Well I still get nausea but not from them.

Gummies typically don't have as much iron I believe.

SMFB · September 2014

I was just prescribed pregvit by my doctor, it has 5mg of folic acid. I'm 10 weeks now so I'm not sure how that much folic acid will help at this point.

MudLover · September 2014

I was taking the One a day with DHA. My doctor put me on Tricare with DHA at my last appointment.
