Yet another prenatal vitamin question......... Seems that's the topic of the week for many of us!
My dr prescribed CitraNatal Assure. I noticed it has a regular prental vitamin PLUS a DHA supplement.
ALSO..... I noticed the vitamin has a stool softener in it.
So my questions are.....
1. Does everyone take a DHA supplement, or are their some vitamins where it's included in one pill?
2. Do all prenatals have stool softeners and if not, is it a problem? 
3. Do any of you have experience taking this particular prenatal vitamin?
and 4.  (sorry so many questions....) Do DHA supplements tend to have a fishy after-effect?
Sorry for all the questions but THANK YOU to anyone who can provide some answers!!!!!!!!

I took Citranatal the last time I was pregnant and I am taking it again now while TTC. I never noticed any effects either the vitamin itself or the DHA supplement.

There are some where it is included all in one pill
2. Do all prenatals have stool softeners and if not, is it a problem?
No, not all of them have it but most prenatals can constipate because of the iron i guess
3. Do any of you have experience taking this particular prenatal vitamin?
I have not taken that one. I took and am taking Rainbow Light with my son and now; dr. did give me some samples though
4. Do DHA supplements tend to have a fishy after-effect?
Yes, i believe so; they are made with fish oil if im not mistaken
