In reply to Allison. This has been my issue but I err on the other side. I take all the cod liver oil, dessicated liver, etc., and avoid the Seeking Health prenatal in pregnancy. Other times, I really appreciate it! Would love some guidance here, but I don’t think there is any.

This article is really informative for expecting moms. I liked how you compared different prenatal vitamins, but I’m curious about how important it is to choose food-based vitamins over synthetic ones. Do doctors usually recommend one type over the other? Also, for those of us with specific genetics like the MTHFR mutation, it’s helpful to know about customized options. Wondering if little things like the time of day can impact absorption too? Looking forward to hearing more about that side of prenatal supplements.

What would you recommend for breastfeeding moms? I like your brand but it has a peppermint leaf in it and it’s lowering your breastmilk supply which I do not want to happen… Thank you.

I take the My Kind Organics Once a Day formula, have with all three of my pregnancies. I like the one pill a day, other natural one’s you have to take two or THREE! Which just makes me feel sick and I would forget a lot more often.

Thoughts on the new needed prenatal multivitamin?

In reply to Kristi.

Hi Kristi,

This may be a little out of date at this point, hopefully, you’ve already had your baby. If so, congratulations.

I’m personally about 6 weeks in and taking the Megafood Baby and Me 2. My morning sickness hasn’t been bad (yet – fingers crossed), however, a friend had serious morning sickness from her multis. She tried a bunch all with varying degrees of debilitation until she tried the New Chapter prenatal which seemed to do the trick. She’s near term (about a month to go) now and has been happy with the New Chapter.

Hi Team,

I had the same question about other supplements. I’m 6 weeks into my first, do you have any suggestions on other supplements I should be considering in addition to the the Prenatal multi?

For instance, over and above the Pre, should we have a certain dose of Iron, Vitamin D, B-complex, etc.?

Thanks, I really appreciate the help.

Hi Lisa,

I’d stay away from CO and Persona. I used those services before, prior to my pregnancy. A friend of mine who’s a pharmacist says they usually have lowr than clinical doses, they charge you more, and their qulaity is iffy.

Just my 2 cents.

My kind organics actually updated their formula and only supply 67% of iron and 50% iodine. I still take these. They work good for me.
