Prenatals
My doctor gave me samples of PrimaCare, DuetDHA, and CitraNatal DHA. He gave me a script for the PrimaCare but said if it upsets my stomach to call and he will give me a script for something else. Which one are you on?
For the PrimaCare it says to take an AM pill and a PM pill. Do you girls do that or do you take them both at the same time?

Re: Prenatals
I take CitraNatal DHA, but I have tried Primacare and Duet with DHA. None of them have upset my stomach and the only reason I stuck with Citranatal is because my OB gives me a ton of them everytime I go in, so I dont have to pay for prenatals.

Re: Prenatals
I have DuetDHA - I take them both at the same time (with the recommended 8 ounces of water), and do not have any side effects.

Re: Prenatals
I take PrimaCare and the only thing I have noticed is that it gives me heartburn, but nothing too bad!

Re: Prenatals
I had to stop taking the prima care because once I started getting morning sickness I would vomit after I took them. But I only took 1 a day when I was taking them 
Right now my doctor has me on flintstone vitamins! they are like candy!

Re: Prenatals
I take PrimaCareOne and have not had any problems. Mine is once daily but the pills are huge. Luckily I've never had a problem swallowing pills.
When I was going through morning sickness, I had to start taking them at night but I think that would have been the case with any prenatal vitamin.

How many do you take? I take flintstones just as my regular vitamins (I can't swallow pills). I wanted to find a prenatal but if I can continue on flintstones I absolutely will!

Re: Prenatals
I took them in the AM and PM. The Am pill is coated and never caused me any issues. However the night time pill I was not a fan of, it had a funny taste and was not coated. I used to take the AM pill after I ate breakfast, and the PM pill right before I went to bed with some beverage that had a taste (not water) to cover up the taste the pill left in my mouth!
ETA: I take the PrimaCare
