Gummy prenatals okay?

Question

So I take the prenatal gummie vitamins with DHA. Are they considered to be just as good as other prenatals? I've been taking them since we starting TTC last year but now that I'm pregnant I'm wondering if I should switch to a capsule or is it all the same?

Answer

My doctor told me this week that the gummy ones that you get over the counter are better then the ones they prescribe because they do not have all the coatings on them like the capsules and tablets do.

Answer

Gummies don't have sufficient calcium or iron levels. As long as you take those as well, they are fine. I do the same thing.

Regular prenatals are hell for me.

Answer

Following because I'm in the exact same boat. I'm hesitant to switch because I've heard people say their prenatals make them sick and my gummies have always been great.

Answer

I've been taking them for over a year also, My doctor said they work just as well the only thing they don't contain iron so you may need to take an iron supplement. I take the same gummies with DHA but take gummy calcium and D3 supplements with them.

Answer

I took the gummies last pregnancy, the Drs and I didn't know but they don't have iron or calcium in them, a week before my c section, they check my hemoglobin and my iron was dangerously low, they were afraid I'd bleed out but we got my iron up in time. What I'm getting at is they're fine, just take iron with them

Answer

Rainbow light one a day prenatals are awesome. Made with whole food and even have probiotics and ginger for morning sickness.

They don't make me sick. I do take a separate omega 3 for dha but that's the only added supplement I've needed.

Answer

I really want to get the gummy ones because I've heard they don't make you sick. I have to wait until Friday when I get paid to order them.

Answer

I was taking gummies, doctor said they were fine. But I asked for pills, and it's day 2, and I have a raging headache from the pills. Read that the DHA can cause that. I hope it goes away soon because I'm on pain.

Answer

There's really no need for all the extra sugar they put in those prenatals! It's embarrassing where they will put sugar these days! I say stick with a regular pill !!!

Answer

My doctor told me that if I chose to take the gummies I have to take iron on the side because they don't contain enough iron in those.
She said people can over dose on iron and well allot of little kids ae attracted to the gummies
