Prenatal Vitamins

Loni

So I was prescribed prenatal vitamins at the beginning of my pregnancy (I am in the military and they only had one prenatal vitamin option) but those made me PAINFULLY constipated no matter what I would do so I stopped taking them. The constipation went away, but now every time I go to get checked up, the nurses and doctors harp on me about the importance of taking prenatal vitamins and how I have to take them, blah blah blah. Even though I told them why I stopped, they still lectured me about how I HAD to take them. I stopped taking them around 11 weeks and I am 21 weeks now.

Does anyone know of a possible brand or type of prenatal vitamin that isn't so harsh on my body? I feel like the prenatal vitamins I had just doped me up and I didn't like how I felt... Maybe something organic? I would like to find something easy on my body that I can take for the remainder of my pregnancy.
