I just found out I was pregnant on Sunday. I haven’t made it to the store to buy my prenatals, plus I live in a small town, so I’ll have to go out of town to buy them. Last pregnancy I was on nature’s own or something like that, it was over the counter.
Which prenatals are y’all taking? What are the side affects?
I just started taking the Ritual prenatal on the 8th - no side effects yet but we'll see! I've heard good things about them. I chose them because they provide the natural folate instead of folic acid. Some women have difficulty absorbing folic acid so I wanted to play it safe. Also they advertise that their capsules are a "nausea free design" and they add a lemon scented packet to the container so your pills dont smell "vitamin-y".
Ritual is a little pricey for me so we will see how it goes. It's a monthly subscription ($35 a month) so I'm still a little hesitant. But if it works for me then it's worth it. And it's free shipping, at your door every month. So I don't have to worry about running out (or GOING out lol).
I am taking the Olly Prenatal with DHA. But strangely enough they don't have iron in them, so I am supplementing with an iron pill as well. I love the Olly though, they are gummies and don't make me burp fish LOL.
I use the Women 1 a day with folic acid, dha and iron until I get my first appointment and see what they will recommend. This one seems to have all the major vitamins needed.
I take the Nature's own one. It's literally the only one that didn't make me puke. The gummies were the worst for me because I was burping them up the whole day. It's a huge pill, but it works for me!
