I take these mostly because we grabbed them before we started trying and I've been taking them since we got pregnant, stopped when we lost the baby and started back up because he asked me to to get my body prepared for a baby.Excuse my long nails I need to cut them.

GNC’s prenatal with DHA a automatically comes with 2x the folic acid. I had to add Iron because mine was pretty low.

1 mg. I have an extremely sensitive stomach and many pills in general make me sick, but these don’t.

I got prescribed ones at first didn’t but they said they want me to get prescribed ones because the regular ones don’t have everything in it like the prescribed one 🤷🏽‍♀️also not paying anything out of pocket so I don’t mind u know insurances covering everything

I’ve never heard of that. I just took extra folic acid & iron as recommended by my doctor.

My Obgyn and MFM told me not to take extra prenatals but to make sure that I also took a DHA fish oil supplement.

I was told to take extra supplements, everything is over the counter though. No prescriptions.
