I got Prenate Essentials. I tried the sample and my eyelashes grew about a foot and I got excited. I told my husband and he looked at me like I was crazy. Anyway, my doc said there's no difference between the RX and the OTC prenatals. But I still got the RX. Hey, if I'm going to gain 25-35 lbs and be constipated and uncomfortable, might as well get some longer eyelashes, right?? ;)

My dr. gave me similac samples. He doesn't write scripts for them anymore. So once I am out I will buy them OTC.

I get both gummies as well as the horse pills! The gummies are great on the really nauseas days and the others I take other days, the gummies don't have all the things that the horse pills have so I try to take them as much as my body will allow but it is very nice to have the option of something settling easier some days

I haven't had an appointment yet, and my doc told me last spring when I told her we were getting ready to ttc that I just needed to find a prenatal that agrees with me. So, I take the iron-less gummies (currently CVS brand, I think they're tastier) and a DHA supplement for now. If she determines I need more iron, then we'll adjust later, but normally it makes my stomach hurt like a mutha. I usually get plenty of iron in my diet, so I don't want to overdo it.

Nasty nasty chewable generic things. Thinking about switching to some Otc prenatal vitamins they're so bad.

I started taking OTC gummies when I found out because I can't swallow giant pills.  I just switched to belly bar chocolate prenatals and DHA.  They taste better than the gummies but nothing like gourmet candies.  plus they have iron that the gummies didn't have.  I have my first appointment on the 22nd so we'll see what the doctor says.

Well I just filled my prescription for the ob-select chewables and the price was 64 dollars...just for one prescription.....WTH!!! I go back to the doctor in4 weeks and I will be asking the dr. for a more reasonable pill. Until then I will go back to taking the gummies that I bought from walgreens.  After my samples are done that is!!!

I take the gummies too!  You can buy them at most stores (no Rx needed).
