myturn0421 0 Posted May 20, 2009 Hey everyone! I'm not preggers yet, but my husband and are want to start trying soon. Both my OB and and surgeon want to me to start taking prenatal Vitamins now. Any reccomendations?? I have good restrictions with my band right now, so I know I need a chewable.< /p> Thanks!! Stephanie:seeya: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisalana 33 Posted May 20, 2009 Woops.. for chewable, I forgot what I was going to take. I thought I needed that too... but I got a sample pack of what my doctor wanted to Rx me.. and I tried them (despite being horse pills, they were very slick) and I ended up taking them the entire pregnancy; Prenate DHA.

Lauren_Dew 53 Posted May 22, 2009 Hi, I am in a similar boat. My husband and i are going to start TTC in June, but i've been taking a prenatal Vitamin (at my obgyn's suggestion) for the past 2 months. I have 2 that i use. One is a liquid vitamin b/c i had the same concern about not being able to take the horse pill. The liquid vitamin i take is called "Source of Life". It is this green puree type thing that is super sweet and has everything you would expect to find in a prenatal vitamin. But it kinda grosses me out to take it sometimes and for whatever reason i've started taking my regualar prenatal Vitamins in the past couple of weeks. I think it's mostly mental. :thumbup: "Source of Life" was one of only a few liquid prenatal vitamins i was able to find. Just google it if you're interested. I think i'm going to go with my regular swallowable pills and keep the liquid stuff as a backup in case i'm having a day where the idea of swallowing a big pill is just too much for me.

Tricia K. 0 Posted May 23, 2009 I took Duet chewable prenatal Vitamins. They're in the shape of a heart and taste really good. Prenatal Vitamins, Nutrition During Pregnancy - DuetDHAec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprildurham23 0 Posted July 6, 2009 I just bought the regular prenatals, and rinse off the coating and chew them! It's gross, but cheap and worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kissmygrits 0 Posted July 7, 2009 I take Natachew -by prescription from my gyn doctor. There's a generic version that my insurance pays for that is very cheap. They are chewable and a little chalky tasting, but I was worried about getting stuck- so it's worth it. I don't think you can buy it without an Rx. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren_Dew 53 Posted July 7, 2009 So i've made a change since my earlier post in my prenatal Vitamin selection. The horse pills just got to be too much for me and the "Source of Life" liquid stuff was just too gross, so now what i'm taking is one of those Vitachews Multivitamin supplemented with an additional 400 mg of folic acid (very small pill). That's working for me for now. I'm in my fertile week for cycle 2 so wish me luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikaweez 3 Posted July 18, 2009 I started taking Buried Treasure Prenatals about 6 mos. before I got pregnant (i'm now a very early 7 weeks preg.) It is a liquid and VERY complete. I showed it to my OB/GYN and her eyes got big "WOW there's a lot of stuff in here". So I knew I made a good decision.
