I haven't had my first prenatal yet either, so I'm just taking a regular multi. Last time I was pg I took the Target brand prenatals at first and my ob said they were fine. I would rather have the prescription ones though.

I've been taking the Target ones since I had Megan. I hope they are ok. Let me know if they aren't. I used to take prescribed ones but money got tight. -------------------- ~*Karen*~

When I was PG with Lorelei I took ones that I found at a health and nutrition store. I think they were called "Dr. Murphy's Prenatals" or something like that.
This time, I'm taking the Melaleuca ones and everything is going great! My dr. was actually happy that I was taking them. Go figure. I agreed with her about something. lol -------------------- Erika

I compared the prenatal and the multi-vitamins... and the multi-vitamins have more vitamins in and higher quantities, and they're cheaper!
But that's in Aus not US, so I'm taking multi-vitamin and folic acid. -------------------- DS (3 years)

I'm on Citracal - I like them because they are vanilla flavored. My insurance covers my prenatals is that not normal?

Wal-Mart brand is what I took, plus a host of other vitamins on top of that. Felt like I swallowed a medicine cabinet every night!

I took vitafol while I was preg. Now I'm taking otc prenatals. As per my brother (the MD) the only difference between the expensive versus the generic or OTC is with absorption. The prescription ones are more easily absorbed by the body than the cheaper over the counter forms. If you have a well balanced diet, there is really do need to spend a lot of money on prescription vitamins. The OTC ones ar enough.

Just because it has more, doesn't mean it's better. Remember, some vitamins can be toxic in high levels. Prenatal viatamins are formulated for the pregnant and lactating. -------------------- |
