Prenatal Vitamins

My GYN didn’t really say anything about vitamins. I take the one a day prenatal. Anyone else take these or is there a better brand?

hmmm. "Better" is subjective and pretty much depends on each person's body. I take Rainbow Light Just 1 right now and really like them, all the vitamins are derived from food sources so you are less likely to pee them out. After I am out of this bottle I am probably going to switch to NOW brand prenats simply because they are 4 a day so you are less likely to get sick from them, and also less likey to pee it out because it's not going into your system all at once.

An alternative to this is just cutting your pill in half our thirds or what have you.

Mine were BOGO at Kroger, and had everything my doctor said I needed so I went for it.

My doctor said that they're all pretty much the same, it's more about finding what works for you and doesn't upset your stomach. I use Prenatal One Vegan Guard and it doesn't bother me at all.

I take Target brand + fish oil. One-A-Day is fine, but I would also take some sort of DHA supplement with it.

I take the One a day prenatal.  I also took them with my last pregnancy.  It is really just finding ones that work for you.  I found that I couldn't take the target brand and didn't try any others but those and the one a day.

 

good luck
