I feel healthier and more energetic with number 2
I've been using garden of life raw prenatals for the last few months. I am due in two months with our second baby. I have to say these have been great vitamins. With the first pregnancy, I used prescription prenatals because I didn't think about there being another option. Even though these are more expensive, I think they are definitely worth the investment. After all, your time and energy are just as important if not more than spending less on prenatals. I have had Acne most of my life, and I have noticed my skin has been clearer than it has ever been. Part of that may be hormones, and part of it is diet and the probiotics in these vitamins. Sometimes I miss a pill a day, but I still notice a big difference from first pregnancy. To get the most from these vitamins, I would suggest eating right as well. Lots of water (filtered if possible); and limit soft drinks, sugar, caffiene, and anything containing high fructose corn syrup. hfcs is harder on your liver than sugar (which thus saps more of your energy). And of course we all know to eat plenty of vegetables, protein, and fruit, etc. A hamburger from McDonald's does not count as good protein- but if it is the only option at the time, don't beat yourself up over it... just make it a rarity. All in all, I definitely recommend these vitamins. I used another whole food vitamin in the beginning of my pregnancy which were good but tough on my gag reflex. These are very easy to take. I do wish they had more magnesium in them, most of us don't get enough of that nowadays. It would be nice if they were a little cheaper especially if you're in a financial crunch, but if you can eliminate other unnecessaries (like above mentioned items :)), $1 a day for good vitamins can be workable
