prenatal vitamins

What's a good brand? I've been using target's up and up brand don't like the constipation.

MrsDepo · May 2015

I like the gummy ones. Vita something I think? 2 a day

navegalejos · May 2015

I have been taking these for the last couple of years -- https://www.naturemade.com/multivitamins/multivitamins/multi-for-her

They ironically have more Folic Acid than the Nature Made Prenatal variety, and they are cheaper! I'll switch to the Prenatals when I get a BFP, though, as I'm sure there is a reason for some of the other supplement amount differences.

Obgyn gave me enfamil samples haven't taken yet

I've been taking Walgreens brand. They don't seem to make me nauseous or constipated, even when I first started them in March.

Everycol0r · May 2015

I liked TheraNatal. It's online order only.

sweetishj79 · May 2015

These have a probiotic so I never have constipation.

tabmb · May 2015

I take the Walgreens brand too and they haven't caused any annoying symptoms at all so far.

I take CorePlex w/Iron made by Advocare.

PrimRoseMama · May 2015

Try colace daily for the constipation & water.

I loooooove the VitaFusions gummy's. They taste like candy! I've also had problems with pill forms and giving me horrible nausea due to the iron in them. These have been wonderful.

I get free generics from the grocery store pharmacy. As long as I take them after dinner, they don't bother me at all.

I switched to vitafusion gummies this month from target gummies only because I was using Amazon prime and that was the best option. I prefer the target ones. The vitafusion seem harder, almost stale, textured. I'll be going back to target brand when I get through the bottle.

bookqueen · May 2015

I take the vitafusion gummies too, plus an iron supplement.

Same here! I loved the Target brand and thought the vitafusion ones were stale. Think I'll be going back to Target brand once I'm done with the two bottles (from a BOGO sale).

New chapter Perfect Prenatal (all organic)

&

One a day women's prenatal

I switch off every other day to get a variety of vitamins.

I did this while pregnant with DD also.

When I went to the ob for a preconception visit he said to just go on a one a day multivitamin until I get pregnant, but when I saw my primary and told her my plans, she told me to go on prenatals, so I did both and got the One a Day Prenatal. I don't have any constipation, but it is two pills a day, I take them in the morning before I eat breakfast.

Do you have to worry about overdoing it on some vitamins? I always worry about that but I don't know how much is "too much"

lolalele · May 2015

@MrsDepo are you suppose to be taking a multi and prenatal? I've just always taken pills in the evening so I now I have food in my stomach

lolalele · May 2015

I don't know. I only take prenatals but if I were to take multivitamins as well I would be worried about overdoing some vitamins. So I just was wondering what @bublesmiled thought since she does both it seems

Edit: ahh I was writing when you fixed that

angc4 · May 2015

I take rainbow light organic, no complaints!!

The One a Day brand Prenatals is a two pill set. I think one is mainly a multi-vitamin and the other is the extras needed during pregnancy. I looked it up on the website and this is the description: If you’re pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant, you’ll want to give your baby a great start. One thing you can do is to take One A Day® Women's Prenatal — a complete multivitamin that provides nutritional support in a two-pill formula with Omega-3 DHA and high levels of nutrients like folic acid, iron and calcium. It’s designed specifically for women before, during, and after pregnancy.*

Prenatal Vitamins - One A Day Women's Prenatal

Quazel · May 2015

I just switched to NatureMade Prenatal with DHA. It's been less than a week but they haven't made me nauseous yet, as the Targets did

DandT2point0 · May 2015

My OB says she doesn't recommend one prenatal over another (including Rx). She said they are all pretty much the same in terms of benefit and the one she wants me to take is the one I am able to take. Since every body is different, I'd just have to find the one that best suits me and stick with it until/unless it started giving me problems (stomach upset, etc.).

I've also been taking this since my lady doc said I should take one since we are TTC... it was recommended to me by my bestie that is 16WKS. I've been taking it since 4/20 w/ no challenges.

FYI: I found it at CVS for about $18 (60 day supply) but I just found it on Amazon for $13 + $1 off coupon for a 90 day supply.
