There are vegetarian and vegan vitamins. Go to one of the bigger nutrition centers or look online.
I take some that my sister suggested for nausea cuz they help with the digestive system to help break down foods. I found them at target and had a pharmacy tech help me make sure they had everything I needed in th He was the knowledgeable and I bought them. In the next week and a half, my nausea was almost gone completely and after that I never had it again. They're called Rainbow Light "prenatal one" and they're actually a food based, vegan and gluten free prenatal pill.
Talk to your doctor. Also, go to one of the big vitamin places or look online, there are vegan vitamins.
ve tried 3 different kinds of prenatal vitamins, but they all make me sick. The first ones I tried were vegan ones, but the taste and size made it hard to swallow. I tried gummies, hoping it'd be easier to keep them down, but they were still making me sick. I asked my doctor and she told me it could be the fish oil in them. I went back to vegetarian ones in liquid form, but the taste makes it hard to keep down. Do you guys have any suggestions for other ones I should try?
d like to add is that going transitioning to vegan or vegetarian reverses any diseases you may have. It has on multiple occasions reversed cancer on patients.
I am vegan (no animal products) & I take Prenatal One by Rainbow Light. I began taking them at 6wks & In my first trimester they made me very nauseous. I switched to taking them in the evenings & that helped a lot! I also take a supplement from wholefoods for DHA omega-3's that is completely fish free - it's from algae.
Could be an iron deficiency due to a vegetarian diet. I have iron deficiency anaemia right now actually and one of my symptoms is shortness of breath. I've just started high strength iron supplements and have to be retested in 3 months to recheck my iron levels.
"Several studies have shown that both vegetarians and vegans are prone to deficiencies in B12, calcium, iron, zinc, the long-chain fatty acids EPA & DHA, and fat-soluble vitamins like A & D.
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?
That's a broad question. I would say this, though, because I managed health food stores for many years -- not everyone is suited to be a vegan. And most vegans eat by ideology, not by what's healthy -- a lot of vegan food, particularly prepared food, is loaded with hydrogenated fats and sugar and other things best not eaten.

Why do you want to go vegan now? Can you go vegan after say, 6 months, after you, hopefully, will be taking off metformin? Even after you are off metformin you still have to watch for carbs like everybody else.
i have a sister who is vegan, but i don't feel she's getting proper nutrients. Can anyone suggest easy meals?
ve found through my pregnancies that the best prenatal all around is nature made liquid gels with dha. They care highly recommended, easy to swallow, liquid gels are much easier to digest than solids which also makes them better for not causing nausea esp if your already suffering from morning sickness etc. You Can get them at any grocer in the vit dept and aren't terribly expensive about 20$ for a 3 month supply.
So i visited a friend today and she looked at my prenatal vitamins that i had with me and was surprised they didn't have dha in them. She gave me some dha vitamins and recommended that i take them and continue to do so. My dr didn't mention dha. Am i alone in this?
The FDA says that it is safer to have DHA from a non fish source. I say the DHA is straight from the fish and not good to take! I would not take it or stop. I take the one Enfimil makes and it is I think $11 a month from Walmart and it is from a none fish source. I would tell your ob you wnat another one if you don't want that one!
So I Bought prenatal pills and they don't have dha. So when I had my 1st Dr appt at 5 weeks he said buy dha prenatal so I have been taking them. I'm 20 weeks tomorrow and a few days ago I ran out so I been taking the prenatal pills without dha until I get paid. But I'm wondering is it even a big deal which pills i take since I'm out of 1st trimester?
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..
One of my prenatal vitamins have DHA but no iron, and the other has iron but no DHA...The one with iron has a little higher percentage of vitamin C as well...which one should I take?
If I take the one with no DHA is it ok to takr Advocare Omega Plex supplement on the side? Or should I take the vitamin with DHA and take iron on the side?
These have me confused!
