It's a tiny (!) little pill and has the DHA included. I had taken Vitafol-OB (without the DHA) before conceiving and liked that too, although it was much bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-150677 Mon, 07 May 2012 13:37:06 +0000 yoursilverlining 150677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took Rainbow Light petite (have to take 3 pills, but they are thinner and smaller than those regular sized horse pills!); they were the only ones that didn’t make me want to throw up. Now I just take Expecta DHA and usually a folic acid supplement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-150665 Mon, 07 May 2012 13:29:44 +0000 kml636 150665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take Trader Joe's.

I took it when I was pregnant with my son a few years ago so I just stuck with the same brand. I also took it while breastfeeding him. My insurance covers part of it so I end up paying $25 a month. No complaints about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-150566 Mon, 07 May 2012 12:34:44 +0000 lavender 150566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took/still take the Target brand prenatal and I have had no issues with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-150314 Mon, 07 May 2012 10:05:57 +0000 plantains 150314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took VitaFusion Gummies before we were TTC.

It was 2 pills, one was the vitamin and the other was the DHA which I guess is important for brain development. I like to cut the vitamin in half though, so I don't get an upset stomach/constipated from the iron. I take half at lunch and half before i go to bed plus the DHA pill. I was recently switched to CitraNatal Assure, which is basically the same thing. I took a sample of Vitafol a couple times which is a really small blue pill and has both the vitamin and DHA in one small capsule, but I had a stomach ache all day from that one. These are all prescription, btw, because they all have 1 mg of folic acid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-149635 Sun, 06 May 2012 09:46:26 +0000 Cole 149635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't ttc until fall but I am taking the New Chapter prenatals. I really like them and feel a difference when I take them versus a week where I didn't but they are pretty big, don't smell great and I can't take all three at once so remembering to get them all in is hard. If I couldn't feel a difference I doubt I would continue taking them. </p> <p>One good thing to know though is if you have a flex account you can use it for prenatal vitamins but not for regular multi vitamins so at least you can get them pretax. I believe you need a doctors note now though just saying you should take them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-149624 Sun, 06 May 2012 09:36:46 +0000 betsyboop 149624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take Super Nutrition's Simply One Prenatal. I like it because it's only 1 pill, and they smell like vanilla which usually keeps me from gagging (I'm a wuss). </p> <p>I've taken the New Chapters but I didn't like how you were supposed to take 3 pills, and I couldn't stand the smell/initial taste! And yes, they are $$$! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-149616 Sun, 06 May 2012 09:24:31 +0000 chopsuey 149616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take prefera Ob. The last couple of days I've been taking gummi vitamins though. I need to go pick up my prescription today!<br /> Prefera pills are small, easy to swallow and you only need one a day.<br /> I took gummies with LO because swallowing pills made me really nauseous </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-149615 Sun, 06 May 2012 09:16:29 +0000 Minnie_Girl 149615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was taking the New Chapters prenatals as well (the trimester-sized bottle), until a few weeks ago. I've never swallowed pills before, and when the nausea kicked in it turned into this huge battle to choke them down. </p> <p>Until those symptoms clear up, I'm taking a Bellybar chewable prenatal vitamin. I'm also taking a Bellybar chewable DHA supplement for healthy brain development. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-149614 Sun, 06 May 2012 09:12:46 +0000 Meeshling 149614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we were TTC, I was taking VitaFusion Gummi PreNatals, but I found it they had the kind of Vitamin A in it that is from an animal resource, and it isn't great for pregnant woman to take, and that freaked me out.</p> <p>So I switched to New Chapter Perfect Prenatal, which I like, but I have to take three huge pills and they are very expensive (but they have their vitamin A as beta carotene). Plus an additional folic acid supplement because I'm fat and read that fat woman may need additional folic acid.</p> <p>What do you take? </p>
