Taking VitaPearl prescribed by OB- it's only 15 and they ship it to you monthly! It also is in a pearl capsule, I couldn't stomach the smell of some of the others.
I use Nature Made as well. They always have sales going on so you can BOGO free…such a great deal…about $25 for 6 months! I was using prenatals before I got pregnant, so I was able to stock up when they were on sale.
I'm taking Rainbow Light Prenatal One - I took them during my last pregnancy too, they're a little expensive.. If I'm remembering correctly it's around $30 for 100 pills at Whole Foods, but they don't bother my stomach at all.
I take the baby and me prenatal, it's all food based vitamins and minerals so I know that I am absorbing more of the nutrition. It is a bit expensive but I don't get sick from them and they have ginger to help with the nauseousness.
I've had a lot of trouble taking prenatals. For two weeks I threw up every time I took it, whether before/with/after meal or in its own. Finally I started rolling the pill in yogurt, I feel like it costs it just enough to help me get it down. Just a suggestion for those having a hard time.
I've been taking the CVS brand gummies. They're often on sale for BOGO, making them wonderfully CHEAP, and delicious to boot!
They lack iron but honestly, iron supplements tend to make me barf anyway at the best of times. I'm trying to get my iron intakes via food as best I can.

I'm taking the one a day prenatal 1, and I'm super happy with them...no upset tummy! The only drawback is they don't have much calcium, so I'm gonna have to start taking a separate calcium supplement.
I took regular Target or One A Day prenatals last time and they never bothered me, but the gummies are actually really tasty so I always remember to take them.
It didn't post my whole answer. Lol. I use Shakeology which my OB has approved as my prenatal. I drink it for breakfast and I've had so much more energy with this pregnancy!
You may want to double check with your OB again - I brought my Shakeology pack in with me to ask mine. She said there isn't a sufficient amount of folic acid. The first time she read it, she thought it said 200 milligrams, but it actually only has 200 micrograms.
Also, to those chewing the gummies, check to see if yours has iron in it! I use the Target brand, which has NO iron. I found an iron supplement that is 50 mg, so I take 1/2 per day with my gummies.
+1 for the VitaFusion gummies. Very reasonably priced and delicious which means I actually take them every day. I'm also taking a fish oil supplement, too, but I'll admit I skip it on occasion because it's two horse pills.
I take the gummies because they taste great & they don't make me sick, however , my ob told me that's perfectly fine for now but when I start my second trimester I have to add an iron supplement as well! Just an FYI for other mommies_to_be that love their gummies
