Best nest prenatal dha
Getting in those Omega 3 fatty acids during pregnancy is crucial for healthy brain development and because most prenatals don’t contain the necessary amounts, you most likely will have to add a supplement. Best Nest Wellness hit the mark with these easy to swallow and 100% natural, mercury-free tablets

baby & me 2 prenatal vitamins
With a million prenatal vitamins out there it can be hard to choose what is right for you. This prenatal skipped the Calcium to add Iron- Iron is necessary (especially for anemic mamas) because of the increased blood supply. It also uses the natural occurring Folate instead of Folic Acid, making it easier for the body to absorb. These 2-a-days are non-GMO, gluten free, soy free and free of herbs so mamas can take them on an empty stomach.

floradix herbal liquid iron
Many mamas will fall below recommended iron levels during pregnancy, this herbal formula can help get mama up to where she needs to be. The best thing about this formula is that it is non-constipating and won’t interfere with regularity- another important factor when it comes to prenatal women
