OTC Prenatals

I have been on Rx Prenatals since I was pregnant and then BFing. I don't fee like spending the $$ on them anymore since I am neither of the aforementioned. Can you recommend a good OTC prenatal that has a stool softener in it and does not constipate? I remember going through a bunch when I was TTC #1 and most would make me constipated and gassy. I love my Citranal Assure, it is just too pricey right now. TIA Chat Icon

My dr said the CVS prenatals are one of the better ones out there. Not sure if it has a stool softener though.

I use Rainbow Light Organic Prenatals they are made from all food/plant based and never gave me any tummy trouble at all. As a plus they have real ginger in them, in fact I think they curbed any naseous since I never felt that while taking them. I buy them online though, I'm sure you can probably find them at healthfood store but online is where I found the best price, mothernature.com has a service where they send you your monthly refill to your door:)

Hey C, I just checked for them on Amazon, which one do you use:

Rainbow Light Complete Prenatal System

or Rainbow Light Prenatal One?

Re: OTC Prenatals

Just take a look at how the Vitamin A is broken down in Rainbow Light.. I think it has Palmitate in it.. and I think you need 100% Beta Carotene

Rainbow light prenatals. My OB recommended them when I was BFing and didn't want to take the Rx prenatals anymore.

Shelly,

I take the Costco Stool softner AND I also use Benifiber.

Since using both, well, everything comes out ok. Chat Icon

But for me, the benefiber is the key!
