Prenatal Vitamins

I stood in CVS for an hour and came out with nothing. I need to know if I should have some prescribed or what type to buy. I saw some all natural ones called only one once by rainbow light and I was all set but then I asked a pharmacist and he said they're all the same.  The all natural ones didn't have DHA but had great reviews...I'm lost.

Do you see a doctor? I had mine prescribed, I just felt better knowing my doctor was picking one he thought was best, otherwise, they are very much the same, if you compare the backs you'll see which ones have the best, and most amount of vitamins! I used vitafushion prenatals while we were TTC!

I take the rainbow light pre-natal and because they don't have DHA, I take a purified fish oil with it as well. They are the best vitamin because they are not synthetic, they are food based. Our bodies can not break down what is in synthetic vitamins and most are synthetic. Hope this helps.

With my daughter my doctor prescribed them but for the life of me I can't remember what they were called. It was a prenatal and a dha pill I took each morning. I think they were citranatal?

I was taking Nature Made prenatals but I got so constipated that my Dr told me to stop taking them and just take 1,000 mg of Folic Acid.
