Prenatals

There's so many options, try a different brand.

I’m going to be so honest….. my prenatals mixed with my hg was HORRIBLE. Soooo… I really haven’t taken them since like 12 weeks maybe…,, please other moms don’t come after me😭 but my baby is doing wonderful and growing perfectly!

I got sick at one point around like 12 weeks and threw up all my prenatals and meds so I stopped taking then. A little bit later my husband and I got me some gummy prenatals and they are soooo much better

Try Ritual prenatals! They’re at target and they’re vegan, I was taking the nature made ones and they were messing with me but I’ve been doing great on the ritual ones

I’m 20 weeks and stopped taking them at 12 weeks because any brand, any form I threw up. I just eat my fruits and vegetables and my baby is fine. I had beat myself for so long but my doctor told me a lot of woman go through their entire pregnancy without taking it and end up with healthy babies. It’s ok just get the vitamins through other foods

I actually can’t take any prenatals because of the iodine in them. I have only been taking Folic acid with vit C+D and omega3 on days my tummy can tolerate it. I’ve had such bad constipation and I have a very bad IBS, I can barely eat anything. I used to take Choline supplements too but they hurt my tummy too much and so I take them only sometimes and eat 2 eggs a day. That’s all I really take, but I do try to eat a balanced diet, with calcium rich foods in the morning, iron afternoons, etc… even if my stomach suffers!

i used to get prenatals that specifically said they were gentle on the tummy, definitely try a different one. i will say though i personally didn’t take mine in the third trimester. i knew i should have but they’re expensive and i couldn’t afford them so i just really focused on making sure i was eating enough and a well rounded diet.

Maybe too high iron % on those prenatal. My bestie would get super sick from certain prenatals with higher % of iron

The Standard American Diet leaves a lot to be desired in terms of nutrition, find another brand and try it so you aren't having the pregnancy affect your health if baby starts over stripping your body of nutrients they need. Nevermind DHA/EPA are necessary for healthy development and preventing preterm labor. Unless you're eating 2-3 servings of low mercury, fatty fish, you really need to find a prenatal you can handle for your pregnancy sake.

You can go as expensive or cheap as you want. I've used Garden of Life and Ritual. I've also used CVS gummies. Do what you can it's better than nothing.

You can try different ones out or you can stop taking them & try to get those nutrients into your diet. The most important time for prenatals is the first couple months if I’m not mistaken. People literally do crack while pregnant so I wouldn’t go broke or insane trying to find a prenatal that many women don’t take and just won’t admit to. Maybe an unpopular opinion but oh well.

Definitely figure out a way to take. It’s important!

Girl. Don’t listen to what all of us are saying. Listen to your doctor and your body. These other women do nothing but hate and judge on everyone else. Real pos’s

I really like the olly brand prenatals regular (not gummies)! They smell like mint and have some ginger extract and they’re the only brand that doesn’t make me feel yucky
