This prenatal, One A Day Prenatal, is this a good daily vitamin/supplement? Is it missing any other supplement or vitamin? *With my first I didn’t take prenatal for the 6 1/2 months because that is how long it took to find out I was pregnant.*

Question

Answer

It's missing choline, which is as essential for infant brain development as folate. The legacy prenatals haven't caught up to the latest research on that yet. Also, this vitamin has folic acid in it, which is poorly absorbed by the body. You want one that uses methylfolate which is the much more bioavailable form of folate. 
Also, not everyone needs to supplement with iron. I, for one, get enough through my diet and am taking a prenatal without it because iron can interfere with the absorption of other nutrients. If blood work shows you need to supplement, you're better off taking a separate iron pill spaced a couple hours apart from your prenatal to avoid interference. 
Aviva Romm on her blog has a rundown of how to choose a prenatal that's right for you, your budget, and your dietary needs. I take Full Well prenatals and Seeking Health fish oil.

Answer

Vitamins dietary reference intakes - for a typical pregnant woman. These nutrients are needed from the combination of food abs supplements. 
Vit A 1770mcg
Vit C 85mg
Vit D 15mcg/600IU, some recommendations are significantly more 
Vit E 15mg
Vit K 90mcg (preferably as K2)
Vitamin B1 1.4mg
Vitamin B2 1.4mg
Niacin 18mg
Vitamin B6 1.9mg(as pryidoxal-5-phosphate)
Folate 600mcg specifically methylated folate (you’ll see on label as L-methylfolate or 5-methyltetrahydrofolate)
Vitamin B12 2.6mcg (as methycobalamin or adenosylcobalamin)
Biotin 30mcg
Pantothenic Acid 6mcg
Choline 450mg
Calcium 1000mg 
Iodine 220mcg
Iron 27mg (may be more or less or not necessary based on your iron levels)
Magnesium 350mg
Zinc 11mg
Selenium 60mcg
Chromium 30mcg
DHA at least 300mg
You will likely not find everything all in one and may need to take some vitamins/minerals separately. Also super important to remember that a prenatal is not a replacement for healthy, nutrient dense foods!

Answer

Looks good to me, it has all the necessities in it including iron which a lot of prenatals don't have but should have.
