I wonder if the calcium is so low in these vitamins because they were unable to put probiotic form of calcium into the pill. I have to make a concerted effort to eat more dairy…which can be tedious. Considering the price of these, you hope it would be complete.
Maybe I would have been worse off during my 1st trimester if I were not taking these, but I still definitely struggled with fatigue, low energy & mood swings. My hair is not improved, but my nails grow at lightning speed (is this more due to pregnancy than the vitamins?) I like that you can take it on an empty stomach, but 3 a day is sometimes hard to remember. They don’t smell so bad…which is a relief! I couldn’t stand my Womens Ultra Mega GNC pills because they would make me gag.
Honestly, it was Gwyneth Paltrow’s endorsement that sold these to me, and I have taken them faithfully (gone through 3 bottles now) because I have not found a better product on the market. I just trust that they are the quality I expect, and that they are giving me what I need (except calcium).

This is my first time taking prenatal vitamins. My stomach usually doesn’t tolerate any vitamins I take unless I have food in my stomach. These are wonderful because I can take them on an empty stomach without any issues. This is critical for me because I don’t usually like eating much for breakfast. Also, you have to take 3 per day, so I know I would never take them all if I had to eat each meal….not sure if you are supposed to but sometimes I take 2 at once….
At first when they arrived, I thought the smell was overpowering, but after taking them for a couple days, I didn’t even notice.
I would definitely recommend these to anyone who is ok with spending close to $50 a month…so roughly $450 throughout the pregnancy. What I do to avoid this cost, is rack up points with my amazon credit card (only if you know you can pay it off obviously)….charge everything, then by the end of the month, you will have accumulated $25 in amazon rewards to put towards the vitamins…this way I don’t feel as guilty that I am spending that much. Also, another tip, I have a change charge that adds up quickly, so I what I accrue towards the vitamins as well.
p.s. I do notice that my nails look great…never did. My skin seems softer too. Who knows, this could just be the placebo effect.

Hi, I am usually a big supporter of New Chapter Organics brand (Pre-Pregnancy I was taking the Woman’s One Daily and LOVED it)so I am sad I can’t whole-heartedly recommend these. Its for the sole reason that you need to take THREE tablets a day to get the recommended dose on the bottle. I had my husband buy them in America (we live in England) before I realized this. If this isn’t a problem for you, then these are great vitamins, but for me, I had a horrible first trimester and could hardly get one pill down, let alone another two.. add to that working full time and running a household, who has time to remember to take a vitamin with every meal? For me, it was inconvenient and I ended up feeling guilty that I wasn’t giving my growing baby enough nutrients at the time he/she really needed it. Please be sure to read the fine print re: the dosage and decide if three pills a day fits in with your lifestyle/pregnancy before shelling out the $$$$..

I am on my 8th month of pregnancy and I have been taking these since the beginning. I love them. They are not hard on my stomach like most vitamins but I do wish it was on a once daily instead of 3 times daily.

I have been told by several girlfriends that have taken Pre-Natals that they work wonders for your hair, skin, nails, and energy level. I am not planning to get pregnant for a few years but decided to start taking some. I am a vegetarian so my research led me to these. They are already after 2 months making a remarkable difference in my nails and my hair is growing very fast! Being a Vegetarian has caused me to pay close attention to the level of energy i have and B vitamins are crucial: this vitamin has a perfect combination of the essentials that most of us are not getting in our regular diets. I love this brand since they are easy to swallow, don’t leave any aftertaste or stomach upset even when taken on an empty stomach! I plan to use these as my daily multi from now on!
