After my first appointment with the OB, I was sent home with about 8 samples of prenatal vitamins. The nurse told me to try them out to see which prenatal vitamins I liked best.
I had a variety of vitamins: some that I could take with food, some that had to be taken in between meals, some with just one pill, and others with two pills.
Out of the 8 samples of prenatal vitamins that I tried, I liked three different ones. Some vitamins made me feel so sick. Some made my stomach hurt. Some made me go to the bathroom (not necessarily a bad thing!). I settled on getting the prescription for Prenate DHA prenatal vitamins.
I really like these vitamins. It’s only 1 pill that I have to take per day (which makes it easy) and I can take it with food (which helps me to remember). I picked up my first 30-day supply yesterday and these vitamins are expensive! $63.99 for one month. Yowza!
What prenatal vitamins are you taking?

That's awesome that your dr. said that flintstones were fine to take. I haven't asked mine about those particular ones, but I have heard this before. It would be awesome for her to tell me that these were fine. I would save so much $$.
