Reddit mentions of Rainbow Light Prenatal One Prenatal Vitamins + Superfoods, Probiotics, Non-GMO, Vegetarian & Gluten Free, Clinically Proven Absorption of Vitamin D, B2, B5, folate, calcium, iron & zinc, 90 Tablets

I am in love with my Rainbow Light Prenatal One vitamins! I have a sensitive stomach when it comes to multivitamins, but these are ahmaaaazing! Not even a WINK of flippy-stomach syndrome. I know my local Target sells them, and some grocery stores do too (I live in CA-USA)

Of course there are some other variations that you can find on the RL website.

Currently 15 weeks (also my mom went through 5 successful vegan pregnancies in the 80s/90s, and raised 6 healthy vegan kids to adulthood).
I take Rainbow light prenatals, and Opti3 omegas, and was taking some iron supplements while TTC.
/r/TryingForABaby is an excellent resource, no matter your lifestyle.
Just make sure you are eating enough (use a calorie tracker if necessary), and with enough variety, and you should be good!

I take the Rainbow Light ones another poster mentioned. Like they said, they aren’t small but it’s only one per day, and I personally don’t find them disgusting. I take them before bed and have had no issues. No DHA though so I take a separate thing for that.

I use Rainbow Lite and really like them. They are rated well enough especially in terms of value, and I like that they have iron and probiotics in them!

> Garden of Life raw prenatal vitamins - they're purely plant-based

[Not 100% true](http://sistahvegan.com/2009/10/11/raw-vegan-organic-prenatal-vitamins/
). They used to claim it was vegan, now they only claim vegetarian. My suggestion would be Rainbow Light Prenatal One, which specifically claims to be vegan (with a little VeganGuard(tm) logo on the bottle -- at least the bottle I'm looking at, the photo on Amazon looks different, but still said 'vegan').

Try a prenatal vitamin. I know it works to make your hair longer, but I feel like it has made my hair bigger too, if that makes sense. I take Rainbow Light Prenatal Vitamins . My nails are better too.

I knew it! I know exactly what you mean by 'feeling weird and kinda fuzzy'. This is an interesting article from 2007. As I'm in my mid-50s, there was no heavy menstrual flow to point to as the reason. My dr. did all kinds of tests to rule out internal bleeding and found none. My B-12 levels and other blood tests were fine. She finally just told me I must be one of those people who live on the anemic edge and that I was the only person in her practice who she would recommend increasing consumption of beef to. The heme iron in beef is different from non-heme plant-based iron, and I guess I just absorb it better.

Not many people, or doctors, recognize the symptoms of anemia and it can be so debilitating and life-threatening! I just had my annual physical and my iron level is sitting nicely now at about 1 point above the anemic line. And I'm feeling so much better.

Keep trying on the supplements - the food-based ones for pregnant women are the best I think because they are designed to not aggravate morning sickness and general queasiness. I get mine in the extra large bottle from Amazon. They are a bit cheaper per pill that way versus my local Target. My doctor gave me the thumbs up on them. And, if you eat meat, you might try also adding a meal or two a week of lean, grass-fed beef.

I've been taking Rainbow Light Embrace Prenatal 35+ this pregnancy. I take the age-specific version, but they sell regular one-a-day prenatals and even a mini pill version.

Pros: it's been easy on my stomach even without food, it's vegetarian and food-based, and it has loads of 'extras' in it like digestive probiotics.

Cons: have to take 3 a day (for the 35+ version) and it's not the cheapest prenatal you can buy.

In my first pregnancy I took a prescription chewable prenatal that I couldn't take without food because it made me nauseous.

I know my OBGYN office won't see anyone until at least 8 weeks. I was seen at 9w4d. That's partly because there's such a high risk of miscarriage and partly because it's usually around 10 weeks when they can find the heartbeat (even though it starts beating around 6 weeks).

For a prenatal, I've been taking this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EE8036/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1449868666&sr=1&keywords=rainbow+light

It's a real horse pill, so if you have trouble with large pills it's not the one for you. It gets high reviews and good lab test results. I feel like it actually helped a small amount with my morning sickness. I suggest taking it at bed time.

I've also been using an app called Ovia Pregnancy. You'll find it's pretty popular with the bumpers on this sub. It has a food guide when you swipe left, symptom checker, and you get little facts about your baby everyday.

For nausea/vomiting, vitamin b6(25-50mg) taken with unisom sleep tabs is what got me through the worst of it (I took half a sleep tab). I started with just at night, then during the day if I'm starting to get bad, I take about 1/4 of a unisom tab and can still work/do school/etc. It's prescribed form is called Diclegis and is category A which means it's been proven to be safe for use in pregnant women. Unisom is listed as category B which means nothing has happened to suggest that it is not safe during pregnancy. However, if it does not work for you and you find yourself not being able to keep anything down, call your OB even if you haven't been seen.

Food restrictions [short list version] - no sushi (raw - cooked is okay but cannot have touched the same surfaces as the raw), no lunch meat (think like subway style) unless it has been heated/toasted, no red meat, no soft cheeses (like bleu), nothing unpasteurized.

Also, see the Wiki/FAQ on the sidebar. It has tons of helpful info!

Yep! Rainbow Light is OTC and you can get it on amazon. To be safe, I ran it by my DR and she said it was great. http://www.amazon.com/Rainbow-Light-Prenatal-Multivitamin-Tablets/dp/B000EE8036

I started yoga around 8 weeks (I previously loved and went to regular/heated classes... sadly you can't go to heated during pregnancy) and have gone at least once but sometimes up to three times a week since then. I've tried about 4 prenatal studios, but found 2 that I loved and stuck with them.

Thanks :)

I take this prenatal, this DHA, and 2 of these vitamin D gummies every day. (Extra vitamin D at the rec of my midwife).
