Prenatal recommendations ?
Hey all, I am 5 wks 6 days pregnant. I seen my doc for the first time today about my pregnancy & everything went well but, he did not prescribed me to any prenatal vitamins. He told me to buy it OTC, this will be my first time purchasing it & I know there is so many diff prenatal vitamins out there. Any recommendations on which vitamins I should get ? Please!
I tried three different kinds because I was so sick during my pregnancy. I liked the gummy prenatals bc swallowing pills aggravated my gag reflex. However, I switched to flintstones chewables bc my midwife said they would be easier on my stomach. It has all of the same ingredients my other vitamins had an didn't make me sick.
Well not knowing where you live...I can tell you that I I use Nature Made Prenatal Multi + DHA. A few key things to look for in your prenatal: folic acid (mine has 800 mcg) and iron (I believe the recommendation is 27mg).
There are other things in there, but those are the two most important.
