A crucial element to a healthy pregnancy and growing baby is the nutrition of the mother. Whatever the mother partakes of is passed directly onto the baby – while in utero and through breastfeeding. Not all moms (myself included) are able to insure the intake of the proper balance of all needed nutrients, so a dependable multivitamin is a necessity.
What I Think About NatureMade Prenatal Vitamins
Nature Made Prenatal Multivitamins now come in a soft gel with DHA. DHA is an omega 3 fatty acid found in fish and known to help facilitate eye and brain development. This multivitamin is one I depend on to give me proper nutrition – especially on days when I know I could have eaten better. It is not a replacement for eating right, but I know that it provides me and my baby with all the vitamins and minerals we both need to grow strong.
After comparing the Nature made vitamins to my current prenatals I was struck with the following differences. First, the Nature Made softgels are much larger than my current vitamins. I glanced at the labels and there was not a substantially different amount of vitamins in either one, but Nature Made has the DHA my current ones do not. Second, these are a softgel so despite the size they were not difficult for me to swallow and I did not have a very bad after taste. Third, they have a stronger smell than my current pills – mostly due to the presence of the omega 3 oils.
Every woman responds to vitamins and pregnancy hormones differently, this is just my experience. I did not feel any more nauseous after taking them than I did after taking my current ones. The smell was not pleasant but I was willing to overlook it knowing I was helping my baby girl have what she needed for eye and brain development.

One thing I do to keep our family healthy is to make nutritious meals as often as possible and to limit the amount of sugary snacks that are in the house and provide better snacking options.

We are careful to get a balanced diet and good sleep. I think it has been instrumental in keeping us well, year round.
I make sure they take a vitamin daily and that they eat right. I do most of our cooking and we rarely eat out.
