Anyone wanna weight in their thoughts about them? Which one is better?

I like the 2nd one better because it seems to not have ginger/raspberry leaf, however, I don't know if I like the taurine in the second one. I am not sure it's kosher to take in pregnancy (ask a professional?)

I choose to avoid red raspberry leaf (until I hit the 3rd trimester) and I'm not convinced ginger is safe to take in pregnancy.

I just switched to the Rainbow Light ones from the Whole Foods brand, and LOVE them. They don't taste as gross so the swallowing isn't as bad, and they don't make me sick. I've gotten a little constipated from the iron, but eating fruit solves it. My friend recommended them to me after she had taken them throughout her last two pregnancies.

not the ones you're looking at...but IMO, the best are New Chapter. Very gentle and I've found them to be very well absorbed.

iherb.com has good prices

I really like Rainbow Light - I take the complete prenatal one though, 6 pills a day.

You'd think the ones with multiple pills would be in a format easier for your body to digest. I think next baby I might do those kind instead, at least for the first trimester.

What happened to once daily?

Six Pills is just too much for me and makes me nauseous. I like taking my DHA seperate. DHA is fish oil and when they pack it in to the prenatal it either makes them too big, too fishy, or too many pills. With a seperate DHA I take one prenatal and one DHA and get everything I need. I use Prentals and DHA from Falling Leaf Supplements. All of their products are physician formulated and the Prenatal was formualted by an OB. They were originally sold only to physician offices and hospitals but now can be bought online. All natural and Kosher!

My fish oil DHA right now is in kid's gummies. I bought a different kind but didn't realize they contained Borage Oil (very similar to EPO but supposedly stronger) until about a week later!

yeah I have enough trouble remembering to take 1 pill so I def could not do 6....I think I will go with the Rainbow Lights since SO and DS will be taking Rainbow lights as well.
