Completia Prenatal Multivitamin
According to the Food and Drug Administration, adequate folate (folic acid) in healthful diets may reduce a woman's risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord defect. Sources of folate include fruits, veggies, whole grain products, fortified cereals and dietary supplements. Folate intake should not exceed 250% of the daily value (1,000 mcg).
Eye and Brain Development—Choose a brand with a 100 mg daily dose of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), an essential building block of eye and brain tissue. A study published in the official journal of the American Acadamy of Pediatrics shows that supplementation of DHA during pregnancy benefits the baby's visual development.
Neural Development—Get the full daily recommended allowance of Folic Acid (800 mcg) for healthy neural tube development. Also look for the appropriate daily levels of Vitamin B6 (2.5 mg) and Vitamin B12 (8 mcg) for development and maintenance of the central nervous system.
Iron Absorption—Keep the right level of Iron in your blood. 45 mg a day is a good dose, as iron is often low in women during pregnancy. Look for Beta Carotene, Nettle and Vitamin C to enhance iron absorption. And, don't choose a supplement that exceeds 600 mg a day of Calcium—as it can interfere with iron absorption.
Pleasant Aroma and Botanical Support—During times of morning sickness, a prenatal tablet gently scented with Peppermint is soothing. The addition of Diatomaceous Plant provides over 70 trace minerals to help reduce cravings during pregnancy that may be caused by the body's need for more minerals.

DO NOT Buy This Stuff - It Stinks- Literally!by IfICouldGiveItZeroStarsIWould
If I could give zero stars, I would have. The vitamins come in large, hard pills. The type that studies have found in septic tanks (if you catch my drift) and are not coated with anything smooth to help. They are hell on the gag reflex, which doesn't need any assistance in my rough first trimester! There are omega fatty-acids in this product, which is evident by the strong fishy odor which they try to mask with a powerful mint odor. The result is a minty fish smell that you burp all day. These have actually MADE me throw up, which was actually a relief to stop smelling them. DO NOT buy this product. Get a gel-cap or liquid.
Was this Review Helpful? Yes No Love this vitaminby Deanna
I really like these vitamins. I am a vegetarian and have always taken vitamins with a lot of nutrients. When I started taking prenatal vitamins, I was surprised at how few things most of them had in them. This had everything I was looking for, including DHA, which seems to be recommended more and more. They are big, but I was used to that. I also don't mind taking them twice a day.
Was this Review Helpful? Yes No Recommended by my Doctor!by Candice
When I had my daughter these were the pills my doctor recommended to me! I'm not sure about other prenatal vitamins as I never had a reason with these to go searching for another one! My morning/afternoon/ anytime of the day sickness was never that bad just very random but these vitamins are not very strong tasting like other vitamins are, so that's a great plus!
Was this Review Helpful? Yes No great prenatal vitaminby Kelly Morris
With the prenatal vitamin my doctor prescribed, I also had to take an iron supplement because there wasn't enough iron in the vitamin pill. With this vitamin, I didn't need extra iron. These vitamins also did not aggravate my morning sickness like the other one did.

I switched to these because they didn't aggravate my morning sickness like my prescription prenatal vitamins did.
