jg_puppy Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I have had two positive home pregnancy tests this week. I haven't been to the doctor yet, but I want to get started on some good prenatal vitamins. I would prefer something food based, not a lot of extra herbs, and not more than 3 pills a day. What are your favorites? I have read lots of good reviews of New Chapter Perfect Prenatal. The only thing that concerns me is that it has soy.

LMK Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hi Jan, Congratulations! How exciting!!!!!! :) I use "nature made" brand multi vitamins. It is not a "prenatal" vitamin but as long as your vitamin has 100% RDA of folic acid then it should be ok. (of course check with your doctor) I have used it for all my PGs and my OB/GYN has been fine with it. I just take one per day. It is really important that you start taking something ASAP. The most critical stage of development is early pregnancy. If you want to check out the ingredients, they probably have them on their website: http://www.naturemade.com Best of luck!!!! :grouphug: LMK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitilin Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I like the ones made by Food Science of Vermont, b/c they contain 100% of calcium, and bone issues run in my family. I have also hear the Rainbow Light ones recommended highly. Congrats on your pregnancy! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I used the New Chapter ones and was quite happy with them. I'm pretty sure I will use them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbalgirl Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Rainbow Light Prenatal One. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Congrats! Depending on whether pre-natals aggravate my morning sickness or not (they did with my DS but not my girls), I use either Rainbow Light or 2 Flintstones Chewables + extra folic acid.

Heather in OK Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Congratulations!!!!!! First and foremost, nutrients need to come from foods. If you are lacking, then take a vitamin. I wholly agree with anything that is whole foods based. Perfect Prenatal and Rainbow Light are ones I recommend to clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
