@jh524: my first pregnancy I didn't take additional iron or calcium and I was fine! I had a different doctor for my second pregnancy and he suggested calcium (gummies!) so I took those and also iron in case I hemmoraged....but the iron was really hard for me to stomach and I stopped taking it...well I ended up hemmoraging during delivery and I'm pretty anemic now.
I should have forced myself to continue the iron! Now I need to take two everyday although they don't make me feel sick the way they did during pregnancy.

Naturemade.
Also, I found that taking mine right before bed (keep it on my nightstand and a glass of water) helped with any nausea. Most people assume you have to take them in the morning but my pharmacist and my doc said night is fine! -
Rainbow Lights are super popular- guess what that's actually my regular multi-vitamin and not One A Day. DH pointed out that RL has one of the best over-the counter vitamin composition for absorption (even though I split mine in half). So, we'll see if the doctor prescribes the prescription prenatal, otherwise I'm jumping on the RL prenatal bandwagon. Thanks everyone for replying as it sparked a convo at home.

@Ginabean3: thank you
I'm sorry that happened and now you deal with anemia, that would be hard! I might look into getting a iron supplement just to be safe.
