Prenatal vitamins

Hi all. I was just wondering what prenatal vitamin everyone is taking? I'm taking vita fusion gummies. I have a difficult time with pills.

2 Flintstones per day. It gives me just over the recommended amt of folic acid and I can handle chewing them up...for now :)

ETA: These are the "Immune Booster" kind with extra Vitamin C. I figure it cant' hurt with all this crap going around.

I take New Chapters Perfect Prenatal. They're pretty big too and you have to take three of them each day.

I'm on a prescription prenatal but I've heard that the one-a-day prenatals are pretty good.

I am taking Spring Valley brand from Wal-Mart. They have everything the doctor said a pre-natal needs and have worked for me so far. I have been taking them since we started TTC.

I take 2 Flintstones w/ Iron vitamins per day. I have a sensitive stomach and figured that would be a good option for me.

Jamieson Prenatal.  I was taking some cheap equate "woman's formula" before, but they'd make me nauseated.  So I started taking those just before bed so I would sleep through the nausea.  When I found out I was pregnant I started taking Jamieson Prenatal vitamins.  They have way more of the good stuff I need, and for some reason they don't make me nauseated (I know the pill includes peppermint oil, perhaps that's why?). I got them on sale for $7.60 (regular $18.99) yeah!!

i am taking Target's prenatal vitamin, and Expecta DHA supplement. no upset stomach afterwards for me. 

i read that if you are taking the gummy vitamins that you should be taking an iron supplement as well.

CVS gummy prenatals, and a non-fish DHA supplement. Iron in vitamins makes my stomach cramp so the gummies are the best bet.

I love these. Sometimes (depending on what's cheaper when I need to buy them again) i buy these, which have higher iron and pretty much everything else is the same.

I'm taking Materna but it's a pretty decent sized pill. Also, if you don't have rock solid guts, it might make you feel a bit sick at first.

Hi all. I was just wondering what prenatal vitamin everyone is taking? I'm taking vita fusion gummies. I have a difficult time with pills.

I take those, too. I'm also taking an iron supplement because those gummies have no iron in them. I tried various brands of prenatal vitamin pills, but my gut couldn't take it. I still get nauseous with the gummies, but not nearly as bad. The prenatals make me less nauseous than the iron, thankfully.

I take Stuart Prental vitamins and Nature Made Flax Seed Oil pills. They are both small, easy to swallow, and don't make me feel sick.

I agree. I told my doc I was taking the gummies and I asked her if I had to take iron. She looked at my bloodwork results and I didn't need any iron. I seriously love these gummies.

Oh yeah, that's what I meant to include. She said if I have a hamburger every now and then, that I am getting enough iron from that. I assurd her I am definitely getting iron then lol

I am doing the Women's One a Day. It's 2 separate pills and as long as I take it with food I am good. 

 

I will most likely switch over to Nature Made  because they are much more affordable, especially if you buy them from Costco.
