I just can't justify $15 for 30 pills... Sorry baby. So I got the 250 pills for $8 and do have to buy DHA separately. I am fine with that though. They still have everything I need in them without the special overpriced name attached to the bottle. Plus I have to take an additional RX iron supplement with Vitamin C and some other vitamin in it... I can't remember what ATM. This baby it getting PLENTY of vitamins in the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-554808 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:06:35 +0000 dojo 554808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take the new chapter perfect prenatals - I just wish they weren't so pricey! I used to take some huge generic ones but I couldn't stand the smell and they way they upset my stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-554685 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 17:24:06 +0000 singingbee 554685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take target up and up prenatals and I take a separate up and up dha supplement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-554541 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:46:28 +0000 dolphin 554541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have problems swallowing large pills too so have been taking vistafusion gummies throughout my pregnancy and loved them. The only thing is they are low in DHA, so I supplement with Target Up and Upp pills, which has 200 mg of DHA. These are small pills that's easy to swallow. I'm continuing to take this combo (gummy plus DHA) now that I'm nursing. My doctor said its a great combo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-554522 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:40:43 +0000 avivoca 554522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am taking store-brand, but this morning it made me gag a bit, so I might switch to the chewy ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-554518 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:38:45 +0000 MrsH 554518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Yeah, along with free (certain types of antibiotics) they do prenatal pills (you can't pick what kind though). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-554510 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:37:46 +0000 mrsjazz 554510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: @softcream: @Arden: @JessLC: I'm another one for Rainbow Light. I love them. I took the petite mini for the first half of my pregnancy and then started taking the prenatal one--which I still take almost 10 months pp. I love that their prenatals are so gentle on the stomach, good for the digestive tract, and are wholefood based. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-554500 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 16:36:05 +0000 Bao 554500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Oh really?! The store brand I have is Meijer and I got it for $3 which was awesome, but that was at the Meijer outlet. I will have to look into having my Dr. write something up for me.

They are whole food based and therefore better absorbed by the body than traditional vitamins. There are several other brands that make whole food based prenatals as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-551330 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:21:57 +0000 lemondrop 551330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take the gummies too. I was taking One a Day, but they made me super sick during early pregnancy. My doc recommended the gummies since his wife takes them. I figured if it was good enough for his wife and baby, they would work for me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-551322 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:15:37 +0000 tororojo 551322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target brand ones (up&amp;up) with DHA--2 separate pills. I took the other Target ones like @Mrs. Polish before pregnancy but then my doc made me switch during...I don't like the DHA much. But what can ya do. They're easier to handle than the prescription ones, so I'm thankful for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-551317 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:11:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 551317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One A Day.

They're vegan, which I need. I loved the idea of the gummies, but I can't eat gelatin. I'm also taking a vegan DHA/EPA Omega-3 a few times a week. It's absolutely terrible tasting, so I spread them out and only take them when I'm feeling brave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-551271 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:25:58 +0000 Ash 551271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was taking new chapter prenatals but they made me sick so I started taking vitafusion gummies... but they upset my stomach too! So now I take a Flintstone with nordic naturals dha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-551240 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:07:32 +0000 tinypiglet 551240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was taking the same Vitafusion Gummies ones at the beginning of my pregnancy, and loved them, until I hit a week around 12 weeks where I was all of a sudden practically gagging them down...weird taste buds changing or something! Plus they didn't have any iron in them and my OB was concerned about that. So I switched to the One-a-Day prenatals with the DHA supplement - haven't had any problems with those other than that the pills are pretty big. I use lots of water! I also take a calcium supplement (one of those chocolate chewy square thingies). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-551211 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:54:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 551211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rainbow Light Petite- you take 3 small pills instead of one big one, which was a really good thing in first trimester with the nausea and gagging. The gummies sound so good but most don't have much calcium, and since I'm lactose intolerant, I figure that's one thing I need to make sure to get in my vitamin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-551188 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:48:24 +0000 CarrieLouWho 551188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target Up &amp; Up brand, the ones with DHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-551150 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:35:31 +0000 heartonastring 551150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pure Encapsulations Prenatal Nutrients.
