Which prenatal vitamins?

Which prenatal vitamins is everyone taking?
I already have bathroom issues Chat Icon (sorry tmi!) so are there any that are easier on the digestive system?
At the moment I take a multi, a folic acid and extra calcuim.
It would be easier to just take one pill.
Any suggestions?

I have SEVERE stomach issues (IBS-D, ulcers)...

The Target prenatals are good for me. One important tip - take them WITH A MEAL - time of day doesn't matter...so i take mine with dinner (my biggest meal of the day).

I got mine as a prescription through my ob/gyn. The label states to take them first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach and not to eat for 1 hour afterwards.

Re: Which prenatal vitamins?

I hate taking vitamins (i'm just forgetful), but I have been taking the Target brand, and so far so good.....they make me constipated though ( I know a little TMI).

I have IBS and my Dr. prescribed me Prenate DHA after trying a number of different ones... I take it in the morning about 45min - 1hr before eating and I'm fine... I liked it better than any of the others...

Re: Which prenatal vitamins?

I got some at target that are supposed to be easy on the digestive system.

I have not had any problems with them so far.

Re: Which prenatal vitamins?

Mine are prescription and I take the Prenate DHA ones. I tried Duet DHA but they made me sick to my stomach even when I take them with a meal. I can't take any vitamins on an empty stomach because they make me ill.

I take Rite Aid Prenatals. I take one before bed so it never upsets my stomach---or if it does I am fast asleep.

Re: Which prenatal vitamins?

I take Target Brand and no digestive issues (which I am fortunate for since I generally do get digestive issues from vitamins)

I take the target brand at night before bed. My stomach is pretty sensitive to medications and things but these don't bother me at all.
