I'm take the fruity gummy ones. Thinking about switching because I can't handle the sweet taste anymore.

I've got Target brand pills. I used to take the gummies but by the end of the bottle the taste was gross. I got so tired of them.

@Leialou: yep... i'm on my last bottle that i stock piled a few months back. How do you like the Target ones?

@mrsjyw: I think they're fine. They are a little big, but I don't have any issues swallowing pills.

Simlac. I had a coupon and every box comes with a coupon so I just keep buying them...lol

New Chapter. I like them because they are 3/day for the full dose... I've heard that your body can't absorb all of the vitamins in a single dose so I feel like it is better, but who knows.

Target gummie brand, I've used them for both pregnancy, I like that I feel like I'm eating candy in the morning

NatureMade. For some reason it's the only one I can find that has DHA so I don't have to take a separate pill for it. Before that I was taking the Rainbow Light.

I buy Nature Made at Costco.
FYI the gummies generally don't contain iron and the regular ones usually do. Iron can potentially upset your stomach until your system gets used to it. Just want you to be prepared and not blame any specific brand if you do encounter this!

Rainbow Light this pregnancy, but I used the Target brand before. I liked both!

Usana brand. Far and away the best vitamins I've ever taken. We use their multi and so do the girls.

New chapter because it is vitamin A from beta carotene, which I prefer.

@Leialou: i've taken the gummy ones for over two years now. I still like the taste but honestly it's a silly reason but they are extra calories that I don't want right now. I am trying to cut out sugar. So I'm thinking I will switch after this bottle is done. Iron does upset my stomach, so I am hoping to find one that is easy on the stomach.

Nature Made with DHA and Omega 3. My OB said it's the most complete prenatal.

Preg Vit - it has 5 mg of folic acid and you take two pills a day. Because it's prescribed, my insurance covers the full cost.

Target brand gummies. I am not good with swallowing big smelly pills.

Belly Bar. It's kind of nasty, but at least it's chewable so I don't have to swallow it.
I see a lot of people take Rainbow Light. Is that one easy to swallow?

Uhhh... I take Women's one a day gummies (b/c no iron) plus an extra 400mcg folic acid pill (the gummies only have 400) plus a 200mg DHA pill. So, I kind of make my own cocktail.
At my last OB visit my dr gave me several boxes of samples for CitraNatal, I think they are RX - they have iron but also include a stool softener which is pretty cool! Once my m/s is better I may try them. Right now I don't want to rock the boat by adding iron.
I am feeling a little guilty I'm not taking a regular prenatal but I think I'm getting all the important stuff.

I take the Rainbow Light Embrace 35+. I like them, but it's a bit of a pain for this formula, because the daily serving is 3 gelatin caplets spread throughout the day. They are pretty easy to take, but if I know I won't remember to take all 3, I'll just pop 1 regular Rainbow Light prenatal that day.
@Mama Bird: These are big, but I haven't had trouble with them. Both turn my urine bright yellow.

NatureMade w/DHA. No Costco around here--just Meijer.
Also Vitamin B Complex (any old brand) and extra folic acid during the first two trimesters.

I take an organic liquid vitamin, which I don't know the name of offhand. I eat very few veggies, and no fruit, so I HAVE to take a good, easily absorbed vitamin.
