Favorite Prenatals?

MrsLawson15 · August 2014

What is everyone's favorite prenatal vitamin? Or what is your opinion on the best prenatal?

bumpuser794640 · August 2014

I use the Target Up & Up brand. I've also used NatureMade.

Im taking brainstrong prenatal. Theres no food dye which I found in a lot of the prenatal vitamins and its easy on the tummy!

Monicagail1 · August 2014

I'm doing gummies right now as well. So much easier for me to stomach than the rx vits I took before.

I like Garden of Life prenatals - they're raw, so no added binders/colors, and they're easy on your stomach.

Rainbow Light has a natural PNV if you wanted to go that route.

I'm taking these now. They were a little tough on my tummy for the first two days but after that just fine.

I use Nature Made with DHA.

I used PreNexa while pregnant. It had a mild stool softener added and although it was a honker of a pill it tasted pretty good.

asws1208 · August 2014

The Target Up&Up were the only ones that didn't make me sick!

Target ones

I got a $10 off check/coupon for similac prenatals. They are only $12 so I got them for $2. I like them so far. They don't upset my stomach.

leela02 · August 2014

Rainbow Light Prenatal One or Prenatal Petite. I think they are the same except for the size of the tablets (Petite is smaller tablets so you have to take 3 a day to get the full dose). They don't upset my stomach. The only other prenatal I've tried is a prescription one (forgot the name) from my first prenatal visit. I had to see the PA for the first visit and she really wanted me to try this prescription brand with Quatrefolic. That one made me a little nauseous but not too bad. When I started seeing the OB, the OB said I don't need a prescription PNV if I prefer to buy over the counter.

dietrajade13 · August 2014

I'm also taking Targets Up&Up kind with DHA. I like them as they don't make me sick.

TRP85 · August 2014

I am taking the Costco (Kirkland) ones. They def made me sick the first couple times but now I take them in the vening and it's fine.

virginiaorjohn · August 2014

Rainbow Light petites and Rainbow Light DHA. I never noticed any upset stomach with either!

ravinraven216 · August 2014

VitaFusions. I don't swallow pills well, so the gummy was the only way I could manage to take them regularly.

BabyHope2013 · August 2014

I took the target up and up ones last time and am going to start taking those same ones again this time around.

Garden of Life Raw Prenatals and Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA.

TMos84 · September 2014

Does anyone take a DHA supplement that is Gluten Free and they know the source of the Gelatin? I am having trouble finding pork free vitamins. I found a prenatal multivitamin, but it doesn't contain DHA.

havingkittens · September 2014

I take the One-A-Day with DHA as well.

travelgirl9210 · September 2014

I like the Spring Valley ones from walmart.

I take the Vitamin Code Raw prenatals - they are plant based and natural so no synthetic crap. I also take the Nordic Naturals DHA fish oil.

This exactly! It's been very easy on my stomach.

EricaOO · October 2014

I also take Target's Up&Up. Smoother going down than my old prescibed ones.

Dannie138 · October 2014

I like Rainbow Light the best. While I love gummies, most don't have iron and for someone who is already deficient (me lol), that's not a good thing!

kns1988 · November 2014

Nature Made Multi. It gives me headaches and some stomach issues though. I don't want to waste the bottle, so I'll switch to something else when they're gone.

Not meaning to thread-hijack, but is it weird to take prenatals when you're not sure when you want to start TTC? We were originally thinking January but now we're not sure... I figured continuing to take a vitamin couldn't really hurt.

kksquared · November 2014

I take VitaFusion gummies as they are easier to swallow. I also take Fish oil supplements as my doctor wanted me to make sure I'm getting enough DHA before I'm pregnant. She gave a trick for Fish oil capsules. Freeze them and take at night before bed. It keeps the nasty fish oil burpies away!

lvlyldybmp · November 2014

I use a store brand sour gummy one, I can't swallow pills well so these are awesome! I even use a dissolving folic acid.

penelope4612 · January 2015

Does anyone else find that DHA gives them raging headaches? I have tried a number of brands but haven't been successful in finding one that doesn't bother me. My PCP unhelpfully told me to "just stop taking them".

teambrink · January 2015

Have all of the ones you've tried been from fish sources? You may want to try one from Plant sources instead and see if that works for you.

Kaelynn91 · January 2015

Last time I was pregnant I used Ultra Mega Green Prenatal from GNC. It's a whole food multivitamin that includes folic acid, calcium, and easy to digest iron. It was a lifesaver. It was one of the only kinds that I could keep down.

JBerry727 · January 2015

I love the Target Up&Up Gummies!

Mrs Hilbert · January 2015

We are TTC #4 and I just started taking the Rainbow Light Prenatal One vitamins a few weeks ago. I really like them!

AMMR84 · January 2015

First of all, OP, GO BRONCOS!!!

Now that's taken care of...

My OB assured me that most women's multivitamins have the necessary vitamins required, including 400% of daily folate. (More than than isn't really scientifically related to better birth outcomes.) So I just take a women's multi from CVS that has low iron (to avoid constipation) and 400% folate. He did suggest taking a fish oil supplement because the Omega 3's are really important for fetal development. Getting your daily 5-7 of fruit and veggies is even more important than taking the supplement - food is better than pills!

jennylynn103 · January 2015

I've been taking the CVS gummy vitamins because I'm a pansy pill taker and they were pretty darn cheap. They taste like candy and haven't upset my stomach at all.

lizzybeth97 · January 2015

I use the up and up gummies from Target or the Nature Made gummies. They both taste amazing! I also take a calcium pregnancy gummy as well, due to history of breaking bones

snippet17 · January 2015

I use the prenatal vitamins from GNC. I take them at night with food and they don't upset my stomach.

Ashleighann · January 2015

I used rainbow + Nordic DHA the first time around. This time I'm using promise prenatal. I used stage 3 after my son was born and I was breastfeeding, and I jusyed started using stage 1 bc we are going to start trying for number 2 in April.

BluesGal10 · January 2015

I started on Spring Valley's prenatal gummies. I can't swallow pills, so the gummie was the way to go - flavor is good, and it's got all the required stuff, so no need for extra pills.

MassageJen · January 2015

I love the Honest Co. Prenatal One-A-Days and their DHA. They are all gluten free.

chall87 · January 2015

Price chopper brand. Much less expensive and all the same important amounts of the main ingredients. I read not to take gummed because the quality isn't is good but I have a hard time believing that. I compared then and they listed almost exactly the same...
