THE BEST Prenatal Vitamin Available, July 18, 2007
With my first pregnancy, I tried just about every prenatal vitamin on the market. Everything made me sick. Even half a pill. Even with a full meal. Even at night. I tried everything and it still came right back up. So I quit taking vitamins!
With my second pregnancy (twins), I knew couldn't possibly survive without a supplement. Sicker than ever, I stumbled upon the Rainbow Light Complete Food-Based Prenatal System and let me tell you it was a life-saver.
I'm now in the last six weeks of my third (and last) pregnancy and STILL using this prenatal. It's the only one I recommend.
TIPS:
--Take two vitamins with breakfast, two with lunch, and two with dinner.
--If that doesn't work for you, do three in the morning and three at night.
--If that is too hard, try Rainbow Light's Just Once Prenatal (though not as good).
CAUTION:
--If you have never had a problem with iron deficiency anemia AND you have too much iron in your blood, you might want to find a prenatal without iron. This one might make you constipated.
--Never use any supplement for an overly-lengthy period of time. After 2.5-3 years of continual use I developed a sensitivity and can no longer tolerate this supplement (full body rash within 15 minutes). Nobody ever warned me, but I'm warning you!

great product, July 3, 2007
I took these throughout my pregnancy with my healthy son (now 2) and have already started taking them with my current pregnancy.
6 pills, sure, but I never once got sick from them. I've heard stories from friends who had to take their prenatal at night or it made them sick. I'd rather take 6 (I split them up over the day...3 in the morning, 3 at night... or else 2 at each meal) and feel fantastic! :)

6 Tablets a day!, June 26, 2007
Before you buy, make sure you realize that with the "complete prenatal system" you are supposed to take 6 tablets a day, in order to get all the RDA of the vitamins and stuff. I didn't realize that when I ordered, and I probably won't order again for that reason (I'm going to go with the Rainbow Light Just Once prenatal). BUT, if you are okay with taking that many vitamins a day, and it isn't a nuisance, this system is great, and I believe it helped the swelling in my feet and toes too. They didn't bother my stomach at all, or give me heartburn. Expensive, but a really great brand that can be trusted.
