I tried the ones prescribed to me, I tried the "all natural/whole foods" ones I was recommended by someone else, and I tried some other prenatal with EFAs in them. I couldn't swallow any of them because I could smell them and they were huge.

I like the Kroger brand prenatals. They're coated so they don't stink and they're fairly moderately sized.

I'm taking Nu-Life "Expecting One Advanced Formula". I got them at our grocery co-op, and they're pretty natural I think. It might be a Canadian brand, I'm not sure. I started taking them before I got pregnant.

I only have a month's supply of these. When I'm finished I might get the ones from Da Vinci labs that are recommended on the Mothering website. I have to order them online, though.

Right now I'm taking some generic ones that my sis gave me until my friend gets her order of Natures Sunshine prenatals in.

my midwife recommends Nature's Sunshine so that's what I take. One of the doc's at work gave me some samples of a prescription kind but the list of whats in them is the same as the natures sunshine, except they have a stool softener, which i guess is kind of nice with all that iron!

I've been taking the rainbow light once daily. I'll probably just stick to those since I don't have a problem taking them.

Last time the iron in my prenatals made me puke so this time I'm taking plain old vitamin shoppe vitamins with an extra vitamin B capsule. It has 100% of the RDA of Folic Acid. My midwife seemed to think this was a good idea when I told her.

I've been taking prenatal's from Twin Labs that I buy at the health food store but I take them even when I'm not prego since they seem to agree with me better then regular vitamins.

I take Bio-Metabolic Nutrition -- their Pre & Post Natal

And... the best thing... they didn't expire from my previous pregnancy... I guess there's something to be said about babies a little closer together! :rotlmao (hope that smilie worked, I can never seem to remember the code)
