I have been taking Vitamin Code for over a year. It can be taken on an empty stomach...even when you are pregnant (SQQUEEE). And has probiotics and ginger. </p> <p>I take a fermented cod liver oil. </p> <p> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Prenatal-Multivitamin-Capsules/dp/B0032EZOAM" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Prenatal-Multivitamin-Capsules/dp/B0032EZOAM</a></p> <p>But I recommend the Garden of Life Fish Oil.

I am trying really hard to eat low mercury fish (like wild caught salmon) twice a week with this pregnancy though because a study I read basically said that women who supplemented they saw no change but women who got it from fish they saw an increase in performance of their children. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1755167 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 09:58:28 +0000 Aria 1755167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the recommendations! I picked up some Rainbow Light Petite this morning, and they are SO much better. I had to laugh at the description of them as "mini-tablets" though. They're small enough to swallow without a problem, but I would not describe them as mini. </p> <p>It doesn't look like there is any DHA in them though. If you take the rainbow light, do you take a DHA supplement as well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1755007 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 03:43:57 +0000 thismustbetheplace 1755007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't do big pills either! I ended up with a chewable centrum multi, folic acid (these are tiny!), chewable calcium +d, and an omega 3 gelcap that was easy to swallow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1754971 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 23:47:17 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1754971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the New Chapter Prenatals. They are one of the few that have Folate instead of Folic Acid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1754897 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 21:37:50 +0000 winniebee 1754897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rainbow light petite are great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1754894 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 21:35:55 +0000 LemonLong 1754894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an aversion to my prenatals too. I do two flintstones complete and then a DHA supplement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1754860 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 21:06:28 +0000 pl0508 1754860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>RB Lite for the win!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1754827 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 20:38:46 +0000 mrsjyw 1754827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rb lite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1754788 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 20:06:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 1754788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took rainbow light petite- you take three small pills instead of one big. Much easier wen everything makes you gag. They have them at whole foods and if you like them, you can get them cheapest through subscribe and save on amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1754708 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:09:21 +0000 Greentea 1754708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take new chapter perfect prenatal. One dose is three smaller pills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1754699 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:05:22 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1754699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for rainbow light. They aren't small though but if you break them in half they are easier to swallow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1754683 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 18:43:58 +0000 Cara M. 17 1754683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aria: I take Rainbow Light as well.

They can be found at whole foods. They are very easy on the tummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prenatal-vitamin-recommendation#post-1754676 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 18:30:45 +0000 Aria 1754676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there a smallish, non-gummy prenatal vitamin out there? I have a really hard time swallowing large pills, so I got gummy prenatals. Unfortunately, my food aversions now include my vitamins, and I gag every time I take one. I don't think it's the flavor, just the texture. Any other recommendations? </p>
