Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "Have tried several different vitamins, and this one has been the best! No nausea, does slow down my metabolism a bit. My nails are growing so fast, and so is my hair. Definitely recommend these vitamins!"

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "I have tried several prenatal vitamins over the past year as we have been trying to get/stay pregnant, and I was either nauseous, extremely dizzy, had a metal taste in my mouth, or all of the above! PreNexa is the first prenatal vitamin that did not have any side effects at all! I feel great and more energized!"

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "I took this prenatal during my last pregnancy and this one (31 weeks today). It's great! I don't get nauseous, and it's easy to swallow. I don't like that it comes in individual sealed tabs because they're a pain to open every night, but that's about the worst of it. They don't taste bad unless they burst in your mouth or before you put them in. Then they're repulsive! Overall, I love them though, and my insurance covers the full cost."

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "I love this prenatal, and I cannot recommend it enough. When I took gummies, I wasn't getting everything that I needed. I was still experiencing nausea/vomiting with morning sickness. When I take this pill first thing in the morning when I wake up, within 30 min I feel great. I am not nauseous on this pill, and my headaches are minimal. My skin glows, as well. I feel like I'm doing the very best for my body and baby when I take this pill. It's quite expensive, but to me, it's worth it."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "Love this prenatal. Soft pill and easy to swallow. Can take at any time of the day and on an empty stomach. Thought in the beginning it was making me nauseous, but had to be just my morning sickness, because once I hit my second trimester, it ended immediately. Haven't experienced any fishy-like taste like the other comments suggest. Paying $25 a month after insurance, so not terribly expensive. All in all, I would highly recommend it."

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "Don't let the negative reviews deter you from trying if you can. I know everyone is different, but this is the third prenatal vitamin I've taken. I started with one I purchased outside the U.S. when I first found out I was pregnant and had no issues. At my first prenatal visit, I was given samples of a different prescription prenatal vitamin in tablet form, and from the start, it upset my stomach to the point of almost throwing up immediately after taking it. I was running to the bathroom, chugging water, and on the third day, even after taking it with a full bottle of water, I couldn't keep it down, so I called my doctor's office and they prescribed Vitafol Ultra. As soon as I saw the capsules, they looked near identical to the first vitamin I took without issues, and after taking it, I haven't gotten that horrible instant nauseated feeling anymore."

This is my least favorite because I am burping a fish taste within two hours of taking them. I hate fish, so to me, this is very nauseating. I haven't had this issue with any others."

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "I know I need them, but taking this vitamin causes me extreme nausea and constipation. I mean all-day nausea that makes me not have any appetite. I decided not to take it for like a day or two, and my nausea subsided, but I felt a little dizzy as if my iron was low. So I take it at night now to reduce the effect, and I'm going to start taking stool softener to fight off the bowel issue."

It was so bad I was hardly functional for months before I realized it wasn't morning sickness, it was the pill. I recently ran out of gummy prenatals, and I took one this morning with a hefty breakfast, and now I feel like death. I forgot how bad it was."

Double vision in my right eye, nausea, vomiting throughout the day, bloating. I had dizziness that would last all day and every single day. I would black out, I would stumble while walking. These symptoms lasted a month while I was on the pill. Two weeks after I stopped taking these pills, I was slowly back to myself."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "When I started to take the vitamins, I eat a little more on the side. In the first few days, I had an upset stomach, nausea, and even vomiting (I could hardly vomit generally, but the drug made me). Then I started to take them every other day, but still, I was having stomach problems. Finally, I stopped taking them for 2 weeks, and I feel I am exhausted as the baby got all my body nutrients. I started to feel tired, sleepy, and overall not well. Now I eat little by little and take the vitamin again every other day. Still, I feel constipation, but I try to drink lots of water to absorb the vitamin, and I feel better. Also, try to bite it and then swallow (I know it is disgusting), it may help to absorb it easier."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "I had to pay almost $50 after insurance, but overall it's working great. I don't have the usual morning sickness, I have evening sickness, but I don't know if this is related to the vitamins. I wondered if this vitamin helps lose weight. Since I've been pregnant, I've lost 5 pounds in less than a month."
