Prenatals-Favorites?

[Maturemama39]

Hi everyone-

So when DH and I decided to ttc#2 I started taking prenatal vitamin to get ready. Now my hair seems to be falling out.....my vitamin does not contain iron because those are huge and I can only take them blends in a smoothie. Anybody else have issues or a favorite prenatal vitamin they can recommend?

I'm taking the Natele' brand pregnancy vitamin while ttcing haven't had any effects from them ....no hair loss nothing but Tmi Bright bright almost neon yellow urine lol but I've read most does that...anyhow I'll be switching to Nature made when a pregnancy is confirmed since it has the dha..

Amm not quite sure but I guess if its a capsule with powder instead of liquid it should be easy to add it in..

I like Vitafusion gummy prenatal! It does not have iron so I took a nature made iron supplement as well (I'm anemic).

There are a lot if good brands out there. Ideally you want one with actual folate instead of the (more common) synthetic "folic acid". That said, I had some special considerations (needed a prenatal that didn't contain Vitamin K, but did have all the things I was looking for), so I didn't start taking an actual prenatal until about a week ago. At 27 weeks pregnant. LOL. Before then, I simply pieced together the most important elements for any given stage. During TTC, folate was the most important factor-- so I took a freestanding folate supplement made by Solgar. I also took other things (magnesium, vitamin D, iron, activated B-12, etc) but the folate was my main focus.

When I finally became pregnant I kept on with the same regimen. I looked high and low for a prenatal supplement that would fit my needs. However, having no luck, I figured just taking key elements on their own would be good enough. It wasn't until very recently that I finally found my perfect prenatal. (No vitamin K, plus the active forms of folate and b-12... as well as iron and iodine which are both very important during pregnancy.) I've been taking it for a week now and feel great. It hasn't caused any digestive issues and the capsules are easy to get down.
