TMI: Can you tell me what kind of prenatal vitamin you have if it has a stool softner in it?
I used Prenate DHA with stool softener for a long time while we were trying and for the beginning of this preganacy.
TMI: I have such trouble going to the bathroom so I checked the box.
I just refilled a new script and it no longer has stool softener.
I want a new brand. The problem is I have had some that are fishy and I hate taking the two pack everyday.
Any recommendations?
Thanks

I take CitraNatal Assure. It never bothered my stomach. Haven't had any fishy taste either. There are still 2 pills, but they're not huge so it's really not bad. HTH 
ETA: Oh, and yes- it does contain stool softener.

Ditto! I did have problems with the CitraNatal Assure when I had MS. I am okay with it now that my MS is gone. I have to say, I do love the stool softener! And the pills aren't that big.

I take prenexa and it does have a stool softener in it. It has a plant based DHA in it and no fish priducts. I have a shellfish allergy and therefore can't take anything with fish oil in it because there is a chance of a reaction. The prenexa has never bothered my stomach and I have not had issues with it.

I take this brand as well. I have not (so far!) had any problems with constipation, and the vitamins have never made me sick.

Same here. I have IBS and these have not bothered my stomach and the stool softener does help.
