What (if anything) are you taking in addition to your prenatal vitamin?

I'm taking a omega 3 gummy and a probiotic.

    I take extra calcium but I am lactose so I don't eat much dairy. I try to pick natty ally nutrient foods to supplement with (which is a challenge for me since I typically eat like crap)

    Vitamin D supplements. I had a blood test done because of a weird ocular migraine I got at 5 weeks and found out I was severely deficient.

    @ashleynslattery Didn't know that about gelatin. Did your OB approve that?  I have issues with IBS too. Does it really help?

    I'm taking DHA. My chiropractor encouraged it. She specializes in prenatal chiropractic stuff. Mostly DHA (not EPA) and free of contaminants like Mercury. I'm not much of a seafood person so I think this is a good addition for me.

    The past few days, I can't even stomach my vitamin. 
    Same.
    Maybe try the gummies? I know they say they aren't as good as the pills, but at least it's something? I had the same problem with my daughter. I probably took my vitamin 40% of the time by the time I was done with my pregnancy but she's healthy!

    I started taking Vit D3, and an Omega complex because I hate seafood. I purchased coconut oil supplement but haven't taken them as of yet. Anyone take coconut oil?

    My OB wanted me to take a 400mg Folic Acid supplement since my PNV only has 800mg.

    I took them the last time I wAs pregnant. So I figure it's all safe, the only thing I haven't ok'd for sure is the zinc, but I'm not taking a tonne of it and I figure can go wrong boosting my immune system. Just double check that your doc is okay with it
