Hey everyone this is my first time ever being pregnant and we aren’t telling anyone so I have no one to ask questions about. Is pink stork good? I was looking into the premium prenatal that has nauseous and probiotic in it as well. I am only 4 weeks and 5 days but this morning sickness is kicking my butt. Is anything I can do to help?

I haven’t heard of that brand, but I have tried Ritual and Pure Encapsulations brands and like both. Ritual is my favorite, though.
From what I understand, folate and choline are important to look for in whatever brand you choose.

I take Enfamom Prenatal. I have had zero morning sickness

I also take extra Folic Acid from Safrel

I take prenatal gummies, the biggest thing to check is that it has enough folic acid. If you’re swallowing a tablet prenatal they suggest taking it at night cause sometimes it can make the morning sickness worse if you’re swallowing a tablet.
Ginger helps some with the nausea, also B6 supplements can help, check with your doctor about the right amount. If you can eat tiny amounts regularly that is supposed to help alleviate the morning sickness, but also if it’s really bad (you’re throwing up constantly or can’t eat) you can get a medication to help with the nausea.

I take the innate brand. when you're looking for a prenatal always make sure the ingredients don't just say -folate // it needs to be -methylfolate.

Some women don't absorb folate. The methylfolate is more bioavailable for us and baby

See if your ob can give you a few sample bottles of a variety. That's what mine did and I found enfamom to be the best at not causing morning sickness. The nature's valley(?), brown bottle yellow label, made me so sick!!

You can take Unisom at night and then a B vitamin in the morning to help with nausea. Unisom will also help with sleep.
As others have said, the main things you’re wanting are folate (folic acid), iron, and DHA.
