What PNV are you taking?

[EatsRitz]

Bonus points if it's yummy and/or tiny.

Extra bonus points for a pic or link to purchase.

(I'm not loving mine, in case that wasn't obvious.)

[lemoncupcake]

Mine isn't yummy or tiny, sorry. It's the store brand prenatal with DHA.

[chocolate]

No points for me. It's not yummy, and it's not tiny. I'm taking Rainbow Light, I think the organic whole food prenatal, and the Rainbow Light prenatal DHA.

[bee]

I lurve the gummies from Walmart. You have to take two though. I was only taking one for the longest time while TTC.

[krl52014]

One of the free Meijer ones

[lilrubberduckie]

I ordered mine from fair haven health and they smell like cat food (they are small tho) DH just picked me up some from Shoppers Drug Mart tonight and I might have to give those a try and report back. the new ones are natures bounty. I have also had Weber's Naturals (not too bad but make sure to eat some food before taking them).

If i am having a really bad nausea day I will take a few of DH's Adult gummy vitamins (natures Bounty) they have folic acid in them so i figure it is better then nothing. DH's don't have Iron in them, I have heard that is what makes you feel sick.

I took New Chapter organic prenatals for most of my last pregnancy. They are pretty easy on the stomach. However, they are not tiny at all and a full dose is *three* tablets.

To get through the morning sickness stage I bought Bellybar chewable prenatal vitamins off Amazon. I know people who swear by gummy prenatals too, but I tend to run anemic so I wanted a vitamin that featured a full dose of iron.

I have an order in for Rainbow Light pnvs, but I will run to Target in a hot second to pick up gummies when/if MS kicks in.

[tkford216]

I actually take two (one of each every day) plus calcium on days I'm lacking. I tried to find something with both iron and dha, but it's near impossible since I don't do well with swallowing pills. So I split the difference with two different kinds. (Eta: I should specify that both of the prenatals are a dose of 2/day which is why I take one of each.)

Bellybar is the only chewable I could find with iron. It is kind of chalky though. The taste doesn't bother me, but I could see it bothering some people. These are at Walgreens or on amazon. (Eta: I take mine with breakfast and have never had a problem with the usual iron side effects.)

Vitafusion prenatals have dha and they're defuckinglicious. Mmmm. These are everywhere.

The calciums are also yummy. Also everywhere.

[mishy2010]

Up&up brand prenatal gummies. I need to get an iron supplement though since I'm almost always boarder line anemic. I figured I'd ask my OB when I go in.

[mrsred09]

I take rainbow light prenatala and DHA. They aren't small nor yummy, but they are the only ones that I found with all my pregnancies that don't hurt my tummy

[musicalsilver]

None!

Caveat to that - I do take a folic acid supplement. And if I were to have my diet go in the shitter due to terrible MS or something, I'd take one, but the midwife I saw today said as long as I'm taking folic acid and eating well, it was all good in her books.

[apunicorn]

Mine is big, thick, and dark green. You don't want it.

Really though, I bought a big thing of them and refuse to buy new ones until I'm through with these so I've been shoving a big nasty green pill down my throat every evening. Oh also it makes me puke unless I take it before bed. Fantastic.

[lvlyldybmp]

I take a sour gummy regular multivitamin, and separate sublingual dissolving folic acid and D3... I get them from iherb.com, it's a brand called Superior Source

[SubtleGrandeur]

I take these. They're basically the size of fish oil pills if you've taken those. I take one at night before bed and haven't ever had any yucky after taste. 

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

I'm taking the gummies, along with an iron supplement.

[rivers and roads]

I've been switching between VitaFusion and the Target Up and Up dummies, whichever is on sale when I need them. They don't bother my stomach and the taste isn't horrible (don't do it around the same time you brush your teeth, yuck). I'll probably have to add iron at some point, but I'm just trying to get it through foods for now and will supplement if/when my OB tells me to.

That sounds horrible. Good for you for sticking through it, though.

Garden of Life - Kind Organics Prenatal


I also love the Real Food Organics Prenatal but couldn't find it in store when I needed it.

I'm very crunchy

[cassey910]

I take Garden of Life, Raw organic Prenatal. Loved them with my 1st pregnancy.

This made me giggle. Garden of Life sounds like a euphemism...

[piperhalliwell]

I'm currently taking the Spring Valley Walmart gummies, too. They taste like candy but don't have iron, so I may end up switching or supplementing if my Dr. recommends it.

+1 to all of this, including the timing.

[salsawifey]

I don't get any points either.  I'm taking GNC brand prenatals except the DHA.  Instead of that I'm taking 2 Omega 3 Fish Oil pills that are huge and make me gag when I take them.  I'm also on a baby aspirin, folic acid and Hydroxychloroquine.  I'm also on Progesterone suppositories. 

[kh59]

Gummies with no iron. No iron is a plus for me, because it makes me feel super icky and my iron levels are fine. My midwife gave me a handy list of iron-rich foods, so I just make sure to choose some of those everyday.

[auchick913]

I take the Up&Up chewable kids vitamins...basically Target's generic Flintstones. I think they taste fine but real Flintstones tastes better.

ETA: I also take separate Omega 3 and Folate.

[mellymel15]

The Wegmans brand PNVs. They have plant-sourced DHA, which I like because when I was taking another brand made with fish oil, my burps tasted fishy and gross.

I'm also on progesterone caplets, which I insert vaginally before bed. It feels like sticking a jelly bean up there (sorry if that's TMI).

This. Except mine are red. Lol

[ang32]

New Chapter Perfect Prenatal and the Wholemega fish oil supplements. I'm also on Crinone progesterone suppositories.

[bravolebrity]

I'm taking New Chapter prenatals, which I've been taking for almost a year now, since I started TTC. They have always been easy on the stomach, though they are a bit pricy. I also take their fish oil supplement.
