I am planning to switch from prenatal to a regular multivitamin once I run out (which will be soon). Looking for recommendations since I've been on prenatal vitamins for almost 5 years I'm at a loss.
-
Is there a specific reason that you're switching? I've heard that it's a good idea for women of child bearing age to continually take prenatals. I can't imagine that it would hurt at least.
-
@kiddosc: I'm switching mainly because we are done having children and I'm close to being done nursing so I didn't see a reason for staying with a prenatal.
-
The difference is usually just iron. Since I eat a gluten-free, quasi-paleo diet, I have opted to take a regular multivitamin.
The one I take now is New Chapter's Only One. It's a little pricy, but there are frequent coupons if you subscribe to their mailing list.

I previously took New Chapter's Every Woman and now take their prenatal. I really like them a lot, I appreciate that they include probiotics.
@theonewhere: Thanks for the tip on their mailing list!
-
@kiddosc: I was actually told not to take prenatals unless ttc or pregnant/nursing. A regular multivitamin will do
-
i LOVE Rainbow light multivitamins. They are plant based and pretty easy to find.
-
These were the ones I was on while I was on a break from TTC.
Vitafusion Women's Gummy Vitamins and they are $11.97 on Amazon Prime. -
@bluestriped bee: that's what I take when I'm not nursing/pregnant!!!
I'm a weenie and like the gummy kind, not the swallow kind.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I can take pills but the gummy ones are just so easy to take. I don't need water nearby.
