another vitamin question

hi ladies im new to the board and not ttc yet but i just wanted to see if anyone else has compared regular vitamins to prenatal vitamins. i was comparing them yesterday and they had the same amount of folic acid and the regular ones had a little less iron. the PN vitamins were about $5 more, i'm guessing cuz they were PN? i ended up buying the regular vitamins cuz there didnt seem to be much of a difference. anyone else do that?

Re: another vitamin question

Not sure what are in the regular, but I read that the DHA in prenatals is what is most important.

I've been wondering about this too. My doctor told me that a regular multivitamin was fine for now. I make sure the ones I get look comperable to the prenatals but I've been wondering if I'm missing something.
