What brand of Prenatals...

[littlemisschatty]

Do you take??

I have been taking the One a Day brand - the pack comes with prenatal multi and a DHA supplement in separate bottles. A 60 day supply is $30. Tonight in the pharmacy, I found the store brand, same exact product, same quantity and they were BOGO. So for $14 I got 60 days worth. Nice!

Right now I'm taking Naturemade Post-Natal +DHA (very similar to the pre-natals, but without the artificial dye), Costco brand calcium, and Target brand folic acid.

The Naturemades are a little too big for me, and do taste a bit fishy. I just got a separate Naturemade Folic Acid/DHA which are much smaller. I'll combine those with a regular pre-natal once this bottle is gone.

ETA - The Naturemades were about $15 for 150 day supply. Costco has the deals :-)

I think I am definitely getting ripped off. When I went for my annual in July I told my GYN that we want to begin TTC and she prescribed me some prenatals that cost me $30/month. I think they are called NEVO. I'll continue to take them for now since they don't make me nauseous at all and I hear many people complain about prenatals make them nauseous.

I do the target brand version of the One a Days.

And yeah geek- I would throw that Rx I'm the trash and buy OTC.

I take the Vitafusion or Target brand gummy ones - whichever's the better deal when I need them.

[KaraOrNot]

Target brand. They are like $4 for a bottle of 100.

[gobucksoh]

I also take store brand prenatals

[rt2008]

I also take the Target brand. They don't make me nauseous.

One a day. I only take them because I'm able to get them on base significantly cheaper. They are like $11 there.

[awick14]

I buy whatever's cheapest when I go an buy them. I'm going to check Costco though.

[Cheesecake]

If you want to take prenatals just get the cheapest ones you can find. If you eat a healthy diet all you really need is the folic acid. Getting more expensive ones or pills that are supposed to do all sorts of magical things for you means you're being ripped off.

[littlemisschatty]

PS so far they haven't made me feel naseous, thankfully. I hear that happens a lot

This! I gag on the huge horse pills and they stopped making the ones that I loved (savemart brand) so I take one gummy with breakfast and one with dinner, that way I don't get queasy!

I take the Rainbow Light one a day vitamins. They're a little more expensive (I just ordered a 150 count from Amazon for $25), but I've had problems with vitamins in the past making me queasy, and these have ginger in them to soothe your stomach. I haven't had any problems with them yet, so I'll keep them up.

I have always wanted to try these!

So far, I've been really happy with them. I liked that they had the extra help for the nausea, since I think the higher amount of iron is what causes me to be nauseated with vitamins.

[lauree1183]

I also take the Target brand prenatals. They don't make me puke like other brands have.

they were on sale BOGO at CVS last month for $18.99
*oh, AND they were the "bonus bottle" so I got 120 days of prenatals!

This one. So far I have no issues. I do have to eat something with it. I got them in bulk at Costco.

[FastHands]

I take the gummy ones from target.

FWIW, my doc gave me an Rx too, but said "I'll let you decide whether you want to pay for them or not". Apparently a very small % of women can't metabolize the form of folic acid in OTC prenatals, so they don't get as much as they should. The ones she gave me the Rx for were like $45 for a month, though, so I didn't bother. I've considered whether I'll spring for them once I'm actually pg, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut... I probably won't cause I'm cheap. lol

[misshark122]

I take Rainbow light (or lite? maybe) prenatal petites... 3 a day but I take them all at once and they are easy for me to swallow. Also have never upset my stomach.

[milosh]

Whatever brand is on sale, usually the store brand. I take them before bed, so I have no nausea issues taking them.

[krystee]

Flintstone vitamins

I feel like such a baby, but the two times I took prenatals, I felt like I was going to vomit for hours. Now that we're actually starting to TTC next month, I'll give them a shot again. I started taking these vitamins a month ago in preparation.

Another Target brand gummies user signing in!

Tried pills for a while but couldn't stand them.

[vmars]

I've been taking Pre-Nexa - they are prescription brand & I was able to get them for $15 for a 3 month supply. They've treated me well so far, but if you don't have good ins. they are very expensive!
