PNV Question

[sdchick]

I'm currently taking NatureMade Prenatal Multi + DHA and hate the fishy burps they cause.  Anyone have a PNV with DHA they recommend?  I think with my last pregnancy I took chewables but I just can't stomach them right now.  BLEH

With baby #2 I took a prenatal and then a separate vegan DHA capsule. No fishy burps!

Perfect!  What's the brand?  Do they specifically say "vegan"?

I take the same one...did you try taking it at bedtime? My prenatals used to make me feel sick (burping mostly) if I didn't eat just the right amount first/wait enough time to exercise. Now I take them when I brush my teeth at bedtime - no issue.

Just offering this up in case you bought a lifetime supply or something

No lifetime supply, I actually have 3 left so I'm in the market.  When I was pregnant with DS I tried taking them at bedtime and routinely forgot to take them.  I found that I remembered better in the morning.  I can try doing the bedtime teeth-brushing/PNV taking thing, but I'm worried I'll forget.  I ended up just leaving the bottle on my nightstand and taking them as soon as I woke up.  Problem with that is Mr. Curiosity picks up anything on my nightstand and absconds with it.

They do! Let me pop over to Amazon and see what brand.

[rnmommy]

Deva Vegan DHA. I just searched for vegan dha on Amazon and they popped right up!

Awesome! Thanks, rnmommy!

+1 and also the ones you're taking made me so nauseated!

I switched to Rainbow Light One and then I take a Nordic Naturals dha pill and a Deva vegan dha pill. No fishy burps and no nausea!

I do Nordic Naturals strawberry flavored DHA. It gives me the strawberry burps. Much more pleasant. ;-)

Haha! This is what I take and I have no fishy burps. Counting my blessings!

I did New Chapter WholeMega for Moms for DS and just ordered more for this pregnancy. They're my favorite and I've never had any issues.

Totally unrelated, but your siggy makes it look like that guy is your son and I was like DAYUM for a minute, then I was like.. wait a second.

LOL, yeah he's not quite that old yet!
That's Liam from the band One Direction and I'm very glad he is not my son

I think I'd rather enjoy strawberry burps!

I've been taking Similac PNV + DHA, no fishy burps here. But every now and then I do notice that they leave a terrible after-taste.

I've been taking Rainbow Light prenatals and Rainbow Light Prenatal DHA. No fishy burps either!

The vitamins seem to be pretty gentle on my stomach which is nice since I don't handle most vitamins well.

I love them too. Mostly because no nausea! (I puked in the shower once last pregnancy while taking Nature Made. Never again.)

I also love that they include a probiotic. I know my digestive system feels better when I take one so it's nice that it's already included.
