what prenatal vitamins do you recommend?

Question

This is my first month TTC and my doctor gave me a bunch of sample prenatals to get started which have lasted up until this point. Now I have to purchase my own and there are so many options on the market I'm at a loss as to which one to get. Thoughts?

Answer

I take Rainbow Light Complete and DHA. Jet seems to have the best deal on them.

Answer

I got the Kirkland ones! I literally stood in Costco and compared the Nestle Materna ingredients to the Kirkland ones and they were exactly the same, including dosages. The Nestle ones are the most doctor recommended. With the Kirkland ones you get 300 prenatal vitamins for $10 where as the Nestle ones you get 120 for $20. I sometimes take an omega 3 if I don't eat fish. I also take a calcium, vitamin d and vitamin c occasionally. I have vitamin b6 for when I get pregnant because I heard it could lessen morning sickness.

Answer

Rainbow light !

Answer

I learned the hard way that I can’t take any with iron in them. Messes with my stomach. So I take gummies. Like vita fusion.

Answer

I get my B combo and folate from a methyl B complex and omega 3 and DHA from a oneaday. Just read the ingredient closely. Surprising not all prenatals have folate.

Answer

Ditto I just started taking the gummies !

Answer

So many are a waste or have retinal in them! I have very specific guidelines for the prenatal I will take, (have special interest in nutrition) and I take the nested naturals prenatal, and a separate omega prenatal as quality is really important for the fish oils, I use Nordic naturals. I hate the way the nested naturals smells but it never upsets my stomach or causes any issues what so ever. Gummy vitamins are known to be really poor quality/absorption.
