Prenatal pills. HELP!

so I must have been taking top of the line prenatal vitamins because the deductible is $200 for a 30 day supply! The insurance plan changed this year and I was getting my pills for free through out my pregnancy. Now I have 9 days left or 13 if I get induced. I just needed a few to get me through the rest of my pregnancy but I can't afford the $200. So I was wondering if anyone happened to know if taking over the counter prenatals for the time being?

All prenatals are basically the same. They have to be fda approved to be sold at all so any that u buy are good

I've used over the counter...don't have to be extravagant when it comes to vitamins, they all serve the same purpose.

They aren't drastically necessary. At all. There's a big hype over them, but I never had them with my first daughter and never with this one. My pregnancy with my daughter was perfect. Not one complication, not one call to my OB. And my labor and delivery was even more smooth!

Prenatals are really good for the first trimester. You wont do any damage if you dont take them now. Or over the counter ones work just the same!
