Prenatals

Which ones to you take and how much do they cost?

At my followup appointment after my D&C I asked the doctor (who was a new doctor to me) if there were any she recommended and there was one she liked. So she gave me some samples and a prescription. When I picked up the prescription for the first time it was 45 dollars (and that was for the generic)! That seems like a lot to me. If it really is better and is going to help I don't mind paying that. But if they are all pretty much the same I would rather save some money.

Right now I'm taking Geritol (it's not a prenatal, it's a multivitamin), but usually I just take whatever prenatal I find at the store.

My doctor has me taking Prenatal Plus. It is a prescription and I am paying $45 a month for it. My doctor said it has almost double of everything you need

I take the Spring Valley ones from Walmart. They are like ten dollars.

Since I do not have insurance my RE told me to take whatever kind over the counter. I bought some from walmart but they make me sick so I take 2 Flintstones a day

I take the ones from walmart....I would love to have something better though but I have been under the impression that they were all the same! haha. Guess next time I might ask for the actual prescription when we get pregnant again.

When I first found out I was pregnant I was taking some generic store brand, but I moved to One-A-Day with the extra DHEA/Omega-3 capsules, or something like that... This time around I think I might try something else. Right now I'm taking Geritol for my multi.
