What brand of prenatal vitamins is everyone using? Im using nature made with dha. Just wondering if there is one kind of prenatals that are better than another.

I was taking concept dha that dr gave me. Was too much iron that was making me so sick on top of pregnancy nausea and was burping up fish oil. Now im taking vitafusion prenatal gummies with Folic acid and DHA. I feel a lot better...still have nausea though.

Mine are a Fred Meyer brand, with DHA and folic acid. It actually comes with two bottles and you have to take one of each every day

I take Jamieson brand multivitamin + dha supplement, plus folic acid. I've never had a problem with them in regards to making me sick, the pharmacist suggested to take them after dinner and before bed and it works for me!

i alternate between vitafusion gummies and similac prenatal. vitasfusion gummies dont have added iron but the similac does and as the added iron makes bowel movements harder i alternate which helps alot. the vitafusion ones are at walmart, the similac are samples from my dr

Their all the same as long as they have folic acid and dha is a plus

At my first (10 week) appointment I asked my Dr to prescribe a vitamin so the insurance would pick up the bill, but before that (and for almost a year prior, when we were trying to conceive) I took vitafusion with DHA gummies.

Thought they were pretty yummy, even though they had the DHA (from fish oil, usually). I had gone to the march of dimes' website and they list what vitamins are important and how much you should take of each. As long as you are meeting those guidelines, I don't see why one vitamin would be better than another...except for taste.  ;)
