Prenatal Vitamins

edited January 2011 in Pregnant
Anyone have any suggestions on prenatal vitamins? My doctor was supposed to prescribe some for me but he forgot and I forgot to remind him.

  • I heard it doesn't really matter what 'brand'... as long as they have folic acid. For whatever reason the folic acid is really important for the baby. All I know is prenatal vitamins make me nauseas & constipated!!! Sucks. But anything for the baby:)
  • U can buy them over the counter at walmart pretty cheap or call ur dr office n tell them usually there write a prescreption n u go pick it up so its free it u got pregnancy insurense
  • Sometimes the dr has samples. My dr hooked me up with several brands so that I could find one that I can stand to take. Plus it saved $ on buying them or getting a rx filled. Folic acid and DHA are important for brain development.
  • I like the ones with DHA they might make you sick at first but its good for babies brain. But try some out and see which one is best for you and baby! Good luck
  • I found these amazing ones! I hate swallowing horse pills but I found these flavored gummy ones at walmart in the vitamin section. they're in a clear bottle with pink on the lable.. can't remember the exact name but "vita" something. they have dha & folic acid & all the good stuff in 2 vitamin gummies (:
  • Oh thanks!!! I'll definitely have to go check them out cuz u hate swallowing pills!!!!
  • @peanutsmama19 are those prenatal or just regular vitamins? I have trouble swallowing the ones my doctor prescribed, so gummies sound great right now. Ugh... why must they make them so HUGE?!
  • @Peanutsmama19 is right. Their called Vitafusion and come in 3 flavors, lemon berry and something else. You can also get them at target. Their about 12 dollars
  • Yeah are they prenatal or just regular vitamins?
  • Yay! I think I'll be going to walmart or target tonight haha
  • haha they say prenatal right on them! they aren't DELICIOUS but they are waaaaaaaaaaayyyy better than regular ones! they only sucky part is they have 90 vitamins, & yu take 2 a day & they're around 12 dollars at walmart.. but to me, 100% worth it!
  • I'm sooooo going to get those. These horse pills are for the birds...
  • by the way I meant yu only get 45 days out of them for 12 dollars but if yu can't take the reguar pills, these are for sure for yu! definitley worth it!
    I jst wish I'd had them during my last pregnancy! (:
  • The price isn't bad. My doctor prescribed ones cost about 15 with my health insurance and I can barely take them. 12 for something I can at least swallow is worth it.
  • My doc told me I could take 2 kids flinstone vitamins because all the one she gave me to try made me sick, so I had not been takeing anything. Me n my hub read the boxes of diffrent prenatle and the flinstones compleat r the same thing just a lot less money to
  • & chew! lol yeah they're great (: I was pretty much ecstatic when I found them! hahaha!
  • I love those gummy vitafusion prenatals! I love that they sort of have a sour taste to them! And i love that i don't have to swallow them! When my sister had her baby the doc gave her chocolate flavored vitamins but they were so HUGE! she gagged when she tried taking them lol
  • My doc gave me select ob + dha u can have them chewed or swallowed
  • Hey guys I'm at Target right now and they are on sale for $10.99 not sure if its the same in all states but it is in Mn
  • I just some of the gummie prenatal and they don't taste bad at all and has folic and dha.
  • They do have a weird after taste but way betta then the horse pills
  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • Sounds good gummies regular ones make me sick...uggh n hate takin
  • Ok I just bought some and took two....they smell awful so I was scared but they tasted yummy but they do have an after taste that isn't that great but not too bad at all so I'm happy with them =) thanks guys!
  • The copay on my ins was $10 for a month supply. But the pharmacist at walgreens suggested I get their brand. Same price but 90 day supply and no taste. They arent that big either
