The 9 month essential: vitamins!

So I wanted to ask because reviews are so MUCH these days! I have a vitamin that I love by Modern Fertility. I remember my first 2 pregnancies and all I can associate them with in the beginning was nausea until the point that sometimes I regretted being pregnant! With this vitamin, my symptoms have been so slight that I almost find myself being paranoid about really even being pregnant! I can't believe, and don't want to jinx myself, that I actually feel great. I do get a little sleepy during the day and want to take a nap but other than that, this is the best pregnancy by far. What's your vitamin and do you feel it's helping you to cope a little better? I'm curious!

Re: The 9 month essential: vitamins!

  • I don’t think my vitamin is helping me cope at all, but I like the CVS brand gummies. I’ve tried so many of them and these taste the best IMO.

  • I take Garden of Life as well as Prenatal DHA. Garden of life does have a distinct ‘taste’ if taken on it’s own and left on your tongue but if you drink water and you’re eating while you take it, you don’t notice it. I like it because of the ingredients and it gives me a boost of energy that we know is low because of fatigue lol. I personally choose to not have coffee so when taken in the morning it does the trick.
  • I have one a day prenatal gummies right now. The CVS ones are too sweet for me (everything sweet is too sweet) and I can't handle a grown-up pill vitamin.
  • You didn't tell us what vitamins to eat while we're pregnant
  • A grown up vitamin???!!! And u are pregnant with a boy then
  • @knottiee5e10228c7d75f45 a prenatal vitamin... it helps support you and the baby both including reducing your chances of neural tube defects for the baby.

  • I could not handle the smell/taste of the Modern Fertility prenatals! They tasted like Pledge dusting spray to me lol I gagged every time. I switched to SmartyPants but they’re not much better… strong mint/fish smell that really grosses me out, but I got like 10 bottles on a crazy sale so I’m powering through. 🤦‍♀️

  • I second Mondern fertility. I am someone who has taken gummy vitamins my whole adult life and was skeptical about a swallow vitamin. I switched from gummies because I read that folate and other vitamins are less bioavailable in gummy form.

    I'm FTM so I'm not sure if it's just me or the vitamins but aside from major fatigue my pregnancy symptoms have been very minimal. I thought for sure I was going to have issues with morning sickness because I've always been motion sick and have a sensitive tummy, and unexpectedly my nausea is very minimal
