+1

And while they don't taste bad, I have to take them on a completely full stomach. Just taking them with something isn't enough.

CVS gummies

So true. It makes it hard to remember to take them each day. I'm not a breakfast person so I keep a bottle in my desk drawer.

[kariann12]

Another +1 for VitaFusion gummies.

I made a calendar that I keep in the cabinet with my pills. I mark off the day when I take my pill. Otherwise, I can't remember if I took it or not.

I do the nature made. I do not have to take them on a full stomach.

I feel you on this. I've been taking them as well and gag every time. Plus I have to take them on a full stomach or I feel nauseous. After this bottle is done, I plan on switching.

+1 for VitaFusion Gummies

I take One a Day brand with a separate dha capsule.
I chose this one because it had the closest recommended amounts of the nutrients (I went by mayoclinic.com). I take it at night before bed to avoid any upset stomach, but I can't say I've ever had that problem before. I just started like that because a lot of other posters said they had some trouble taking prenatal vitamins in the morning.
If you prefer gummy vitamins, I think most posters here use target brand

I take these, but the Target brand. Because the same thing but cheaper.

risscaboobs - i keep them at work mostly. My problem is I often have to eat on the run. I also tried taking them at night but they give me reflux.

+1 for Nature Made I think the ones I have also have DHA in them.

[fuzzylogic]

If iron isn't an issue, I ditto the Vitafusion or similar generic store brand gummies. They actually taste pretty good. I'm out -- need to get some while I'm thinking about it *runs off to Prime*

[Deleted]

I take the gummies too -- they don't have calcium which is actually a huge plus for me; I have a history of kidney stones and they determined it was the calcium supplements I was taking that contributed and told me not to take suplemental calcium. We'll see what happens when I actually am KU, but for now they work!

I take One A Day Prenatals + DHA.

+1 Prenatal and DHA in one pill. They're gel like and go down easy.

[Sparkly]

Nature Made with DHA. Used to take target gummies. Also used to have a prescription prenatal but it was slightly more expensive even with insurance covering a portion. I take my multi right before bed.

[cjchio]

I take one a day because they are safe for my allergies.

[abc531]

Like many others I take the vita fusion gummies, or the target brand. I also take additional folic acid as recommended by my doctor.

[anonymouseliza]

I don't take prenatals until pregnant. They don't meet my calcium or vit A needs and have more iron than I need. So I take a regular women's multi and otc Folgard (B-Vit supplement with a lot of folic acid and the necessary supporting b vitamins to keep it all in sync). Recommended by my Ob because I have MTHFR and don't process folic acid normally. When I am pregnant, I'll switch to target pre-natal + DHA + Folgard.

[ohara]

Switched to Rainbow Light and love that they're food based with probiotics. I can take them on an empty stomach.

[heatherj9603]

I use target brand. No after taste. I switched away from the gummies because I needed the iron (gummies don't have any) I just make sure to take it after eating.

I order from amazon but gnc should have them, I just don't have one close.

[manderslvt]

Another vote for CVS gummies. They taste good, include DHA, and with the BOGO they are usually $5 a bottle!

About how much are they? I pay 7 for target brand. It's 3 months worth. 

Eta: but I also take a separate pro biotic, so all in one would be Wonderful.

They're definitely a bit pricier for being food based. About $23 for 4 months worth. They're the only ones that don't give me gross bubble guts, so worth it to me.

[brettanomyces]

I'm on a prescription pnv called preg-vit. There's 2 pills a day with different stuff in them. I like them because I can take them on an empty stomach and I'm not having any issues like I have in the past with multis and iron supplements.

I think they're expensive though. I have a drug plan so they're mostly covered.
