I started taking New Chapter Perfect Prenatals + New Chapter Wholemega for Moms fish oil about 4 weeks ago. Seems to be okay so far - no tummy issues.
Did you try these? What was your experience?

I unfortunately haven't tried that brand. Hopefully someone has here who can chime in.
I wanted one with folate - most of those were pretty pricey, unfortunately. I ended up trying Best Nest Prenatal. No serious complaints, though it does sometimes upset my stomach a bit, so I might switch once I finish the bottle.

I take these.. They are a whole little packet of 5 or 6 pills.. The EPA-DHA is in perfect ratio, or something like that. My acupuncturist started me on them. The b vitamins are methylated, (aka folate, instead of folic acid) so they are good for those with mthfr mutation (me).
All I can say is this - my hair was thin and falling out a few months back, and since I started these my hair has never been thicker.. same for my nails, they were always thin and now they are crazy strong! With my son I took citranatal and I didn't notice much difference with my nails & hair..
Since I have kind of baby fine hair, I will spend the money on these - probably forever!!

@periwinklebee: thanks for sharing!
@oskarsmommy: I have been wondering about DHA-EPA ratio and how that affects you... probably something I should research a bit more!
-
@periwinklebee: Did you know there's a gummy with folate? I've been taking Smarty Pants (Amazon has them for a good price, but they're also available at Target)
-
@MaryM: Thank you, I hadn't heard of these - this is super helpful!
-
@periwinklebee: No problem!
They're only downfall (that I see) is the sugar content. I haven't had any bad reactions to them except when morning sickness has been bad.
-
@MaryM: Thank you - definitely going to try them out!
-
@MaryM: I've been taking smartypants, but don't really like them. It has nothing to do with how I feel, but I don't like the taste. Not enough that I won't finish the bottle, but I won't buy them again.
-
@marym: do you also take an iron supplement with your gummies? I had been using the gummies and I LOVED them (hard to eat just two a day, they are so tasy!), but then when I realized there was no iron I switched to giant pills
-
@Mrs. Blush: no. I would if I tested anemic, but I've never had any issues
