My stomach is super sensitive to meds, and I take a lot so it's easier on me to spread them out...however, I have definitely missed one from time to time, so that sucks! I also take an additonal DHA pill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2050188 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 07:21:22 +0000 ValentineMommy 2050188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take the Honest company ones </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2050185 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 07:16:10 +0000 Astro Bee 2050185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Centrum Prenatal vitamins, which come with a second pill for DHA - I definitely don't eat enough fish. When I used to live in the US, I would take Vitafusion gummi women's and later switched to prenatal (same brand). They were good, but we don't get those in Canada. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2050133 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 02:25:14 +0000 BSB 2050133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nature made from Costco currently.</p> <p>Tried the gummies both Target and the brand name one for about a bottle each. I think the Target gummies tasted worse than the brand name.</p> <p>I was also on a prescribed prenatal that my RE gave me. Purple pill. Ceretifolin or something like that. It was a bit pricey so I stopped it once I finished the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2050132 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 02:21:58 +0000 Mizhi 2050132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take either GNC Women's Prenatal Formula with DHA (3x a day) or a 1x a day generic prescription one without DHA that I supplement with an omega/salmon oil pill. I only take the 1x a day one if I think I'll forget to take the other one 3x a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2050126 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 01:14:57 +0000 macintosh 2050126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take Trader Joes brand prenatals and a seperate fish oil. The prenatals have biotin and made my nails really strong even when I wasn't pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2050121 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 00:55:55 +0000 Coffee-lover 2050121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take the One a day with dha. I tried the nature made ones from Costco but I threw up every time I took one. They really upset my stomach for some reason. I used to take the Target brand but did not like taking a second pill for Dha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2046601 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 23:03:39 +0000 snowjewelz 2046601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gummie ones from Target &amp; Vita Fusion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2046516 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:23:44 +0000 Torchwood 2046516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: It's this one. I'll be honest, it doesn't taste good. I mix it with bolthouse farms berry blend juice and it's tolerable. But I'm not much better than you (only veggies are corn, potatoes, and beans), so I'm counting on it to help make up the difference. I also take a lot of extra folate, but that's because of my history. And I do cod liver oil pills, since I don't think there's any DHA in this stuff.</p> <p>And I'm the same as you. I haven't eaten any fruits or veggies since I was old enough to eat solids, and I promise I've tried. I hate it, but I've learned to work with it as best as I can. Just hoping LO is more like her daddy, who eats literally everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2046365 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 20:56:53 +0000 DesertDreams88 2046365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: Could you please let me know the name of that vitamin?? I don't eat veggies or fruit either except for tomatoes, and no meat either. Yep, juuusssttt breads (mostly whole grain) and dairy. I currently take the Rainbow Lite minis with each meal.</p> <p>Disclaimers to anyone who might want to reply: I gag and throw up with any "hidden" veggie &amp; fruit recipes, it's been this way every since I was a toddler, I wish dearly that I wasn't this way, but certain things are unchangeable. I get blood panels done every year and everything comes back fine, my doctors have never been worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2046339 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 20:42:29 +0000 GreenThumb 2046339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm taking Rainbow Light right now, but when I was pregnant with LO# 1 I took BrainStrong Prenatal (partially because I liked the name :wink: ). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2046323 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 20:30:41 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2046323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rainbow Light...but I just realized I may have just bought the Women's One last time. :meh: Also, I just started taking add'l DHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2046210 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:17:11 +0000 simplyfelicity 2046210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The gummy ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2046206 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:15:12 +0000 elljay 2046206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take One A Day prenatals - they just came out with a version that has the multivitamin and the DHA supplement all in one pill. It's not a giant horse pill either - I'm terrible at swallowing pills, and I have no trouble with it. I also supplement with Caltrate minis which have both calcium and vitamin D. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take/page/2#post-2046177 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 18:48:29 +0000 mrschickpea 2046177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target brand </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-2046160 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 18:36:25 +0000 namaste 2046160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Also used these and they were fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-2046154 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 18:33:04 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2046154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rainbow light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-2046152 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 18:30:13 +0000 Torchwood 2046152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-2046130 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 18:08:54 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2046130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NatureMade w/DHA. No Costco around here--just Meijer. </p> <p>Also Vitamin B Complex (any old brand) and extra folic acid during the first two trimesters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-2046103 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 17:47:01 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2046103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> <p>@Mama Bird: These are big, but I haven't had trouble with them. Both turn my urine bright yellow. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-2045955 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 16:44:38 +0000 MrsADS 2045955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>I am feeling a little guilty I'm not taking a regular prenatal but I think I'm getting all the important stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-2045904 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 16:19:09 +0000 Reese 2045904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Same </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-prenatal-vitamins-do-you-take#post-2045895 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 16:16:07 +0000 Mama Bird 2045895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Belly Bar. It's kind of nasty, but at least it's chewable so I don't have to swallow it. </p> <p>I see a lot of people take Rainbow Light.
