Re: vitamins
Most important thing is to make sure they have 800-1000mg of Folic Acid. You can get them OTC at any drugstore. I use the One A Day but they are expensive for only a 30 day supply. I've also used Rainbowlite (sold at Target). My Dr. just said to stay away from GNC brand. They tend to go overboard with their dosages.

I use the CVS brand pre-natals. My dr looked at the contents of them and said they were suprisingly high and a good one to use.

Re: vitamins

Re: vitamins
I am taking the One A Day with DHA. They were about $30 for a 45 day supply at CVS.

Re: vitamins
Hi! Welcome!!
I take the Target prenatals. They are very inexpensive, they aren't like horse pills, and they dont make me feel sick.
I took these for a good 6-7 months while I was PG with DS and even with a velamentous cord insertion, he was 8 lbs 10 oz and perfectly healthy!  AMEN.
GL to you!!!!!!!
