Prenatal vitamins, how do I chose one?

Question

My husband and I are trying to conceive and I’ve been taking a prenatal for almost a month and half ( I bought a bottle from Trader Joe’s). The bottle is almost over and although I have no issues with it I’m trying to find the BEST prenatal. There’s so many to choose from. I’ve read a lot of reviews about rainbow light and garden of life. What do you guys recommend or how did you pick?

Answer

I took garden of life with my first pregnancy and they really are amazing quality vitamins and I never got sick because they didn’t have all of the artificial stuff, they are completely plant based which is awesome. The downside though, they are crazy expensive, you have to take 3 per day (because again, they are all natural, so they aren’t quite as potent as the artificial stuff) and you have to take an additional DHA pill because they don’t contain DHA, which is actually fairly common for prenatals. 
Rainbow lite are good. I tried them with this pregnancy and in the first trimester they did make me sick (I never had that issue with garden of life). However, they are much more affordable and you only have to take one pill per day. Now, I’m at 36 weeks and I’m honestly just taking He Costco prenatals. I’m just tying to get through it at this point haha

I got a script from my doctor and take that not the over the counter stuff. it is covered under insurance too.

Answer

Thank you all for your comments. So I went on WebMD and found the “recommended” nutrition value and the rainbow light is actually closer to all the recommended values

Answer

I took garden of life vitamin code raw prenatal. I in general really like garden of life products and they have plenty of different options for prenatals. Rainbow light is good also. I work for The Vitamin Shoppe and those are two really popular ones. In general, food based and (even better) whole food vitamins are great for you. There are other brands also. Personally, is search for something "whole food" and make a choice from there.

Answer

Thorne Research Prenatal.  You can order it from Amazon. It has a complete slate of vitamins and minerals including the active form of folate (5-MTHF), its manufactured without the additives and coatings usually found in mainstream prenatal tablets and contains well-absorbed iron bisglycinate, which is easy on the stomach and non-constipating.

Answer

I take Garden of Life. They’re raw so your body absorbs more of what’s in them and it’s easier to absorb it. They also contain folate instead of folic acid, folic acid is synthetic, some studies show it’s detrimental.
