The Best Prenatal Vitamins

March 8, 2016

Prenatal Vitamins

 
It seems any major life event hits you with an unsettling amount of choices, and pregnancy is absolutely no different. Women are bombarded with so many options during pregnancy because it’s all SO new. What the hell is happening to your body anyway? I mean, everything was so swollen, I had to buy new underwear and go up a shoe size.

 
I’ll make this one easy for you: get prenatal vitamins with that won’t make you barf. I had such terrible morning sickness throughout the first trimester (yep, I was having a girl) I could barely stomach water; the last thing I wanted was to swallow a giant pill that would make my stomach churn or leave me with a fish aftertaste (I can’t).

 
Rainbow Light Prenatal One Multivitamin: These food-based prenatals are the best I have found (vegan and gluten-free) and they are very easy on your tummy. They are the only once-a-day vitamins that hit almost all the requirements recommended by the Mayo Clinic and the CDC. Plus they’re free of artificial colors, flavors, sugar, sweeteners, preservatives, and other objectionable additives sometimes found in vitamin products.

 
Spectrum Essentials Prenatal DHA: Add these DHA capsules for those baby brains & vision and you’re good to go throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding.

 
What are the best, easy-on-the-tummy prenatal vitamins you’ve found?

Hi friends!
 
As a first-time mom, I’m learning about the challenges and joys of parenting quick and dirty. Over the past 2 years, I have garnered more knowledge and experience than I could have ever imagined – everything from how many burp cloths are necessary for your baby registry to how to get yourself ready in 3 minutes flat (it’s all about products that multi-task, I swear). Since I found out I was pregnant with my daughter Sophie, I began scouring every resource online and off to find the very best budget-friendly products, #momhacks, and quickie beauty routines to provide the best for my family and keep my sanity (relatively) intact. Now to share the knowledge with m’ladies.
 
I hope you enjoy reading along with me. Let’s do this!
