What is the best prenatal vitamin?

1

I am not a momma yet, but I am hoping to become one on the next year or so. I’ve been told it isnt too early to start taking prenatal vitamins. What’s a good otc brand? Anything else I can do now to prepare my body to carry?

I take the Spring Valley ones that Walmart carries. They’re not super expensive and I believe they helped me to get pregnant!!

I like One a Day. They are small as I hate pills. My youngest is 13 and I still take them. Great for skin, hair and nails

The gummy ones usually don’t have iron so I don’t recommended those for pregnancy in case anyone tries to say gummies, check the label.

I have to take the gummy ones as they do not have iron. I can’t have extra iron so those ones work best for me during pregnancy! Plus they taste yumm!

I had been TTC for years. I was on daily prenatals for almost a full year before it finally happened. I was doing everything I could to get my body ready, even cutting soda and my overly-sweetened coffee habits. Ended up having an easy pregnancy, for the most part. Little bugger spent the entire time squeezing the life out of my bladder. I was going to the bathroom 5 or 6 times a night.

Meijer does free prescription prenatals, I recommend those!

It really doesnt matter which ones you take as long as they have a good amount of folic acid that’s what your baby needs most in the early stages

I take nature made prenatal multi+DHA. I was buying the cheaper ones thinkin they were all the same, but some.of the cheaper ones lack some.vitamins and I ended up having to take extra vitamin and mineral supplements

I recommend eating non processed foods as much as you can and getting lots of rest. Prenatal s is a great start. Good luck with everything!
