Best thing to do is ask your doctor for samples. They have plenty to give away. I survived off samples & never had to purchase vitamins during or after pregnancy. Plus, there's different types of vitamins some with dha, some that don't. I prefer dha. Then there's vitamins that contain stool softeners or nausea pills. I was nasuated in my firstttrimester, so the ones with nausea pills helped a lot.
You can buy them from almost any grocery store. I get mine from walmart, the women's one a day brand with DHA.
Dha beginning of my pregnancy i couldnt keep nun dwn.. now im able to eat wit out any problems wit a few ups and dwns.. i been takin vitamins just not dha pill kind cuz its hard to swallow...
I like the rainbow light brand from vitamin Shoppe. Comes with two bottles- a vitamin & a dha. They are smaller and don't have that gross after taste. They are all natural and the only kind that dont make me sick! On days I'm just not feeling it I take Flintstones or prenatal gummy but the prenatal gummy is covered in sugar and I got tired of the taste.
I currently take about 1500 mg of OmegaBrite several times a week and not every day because of the expense. I was told by a health care professional that I should use a cheaper alternative (~6 cents a day) that was recently recommended by Consumer Reports and is available at CostCo and Sams Club. Are all omega supplement truly alike?

So my brother in law sends me some canned crap about health care. Him being a senior citizen, the future of health care means a lot to him. Since he can't make heads or tails out of Universal Health Care, he's taken to trying to find everything he can regarding universal health care.
The email he sent me had statistics on hip replacement, cancer survival, cancer treatments and how many MRI machines per 1000 people in each country.
You need a good prenatal vitamin with at least 1000 MG folic acid (I had to be additional folic acid) and DHA my OB has instructed to me.
I take a prenatal vitamin with iron and also a DHA only prenatal vitamin. I'm 8w+2d and haven't been to my first obgyn appt yet, have that at 10 weeks. Don't know if this helps, just what I decided to do.
s office. My last pregnancy was high risk with mono twins and we lived on a different base. The care was different. But i guess it can not all be the same from place to place.
DHA is a kind of Omega 3 fatty acid (which is usually DHA+EPA)
Omega 3 s are considered really beneficial for our brain and general health..and considered really good for fertility..
they're found in fatty fish or you can take them as supplements..
Hello and thanks for this service! Is it more beneficial to take an "omega 3 EPA & DHA fish oil supplement" or an "omega 3, 6 &9 EPA & DHA fish oil supplement"? I'm a bit confused as to which would be of the optimum benefit to purchase. Thanks for your time and expertise!
Okay so my current prenatal vitamin does not have Dha in it...is it possible for me to take a Dha vitamin in conjunction with my prenatal vitamin?...if so what is a good brand to take?
The vitamins are for your health. The baby will take what it need from you weather you have enough for yourself or not. The vitamins are to ensure that you are getting enough.
Some products use Erythrulose combined with the DHA. Erythrulose works identically to DHA on the skin surface, but develops more slowly. The two chemicals used together may produce a longer lasting sunless tan.
Dihydroxyacetone or Erythrulose may cause contact dermatitis. First time users of sunless tanning products should apply them to a small patch of skin and wait 24 hours before a full body application.

You really need to be taking one with DHA. I can't remember the brand I take off the top of my head, but I tried to follow the Mayo Clinic's guidelines: http://www.mayoclinic.
