Nature Made Prenatal + Dha 200 mg Dietary Supplement (Netcount 150 Soft Gels), 150Count ()

I started these a couple of months pre-pregnancy. I am currently still taking them daily because my doctor recommended continuing prenatals while breastfeeding. These pills are not super huge, but still large. I gag on large pills sometimes, but these aren't too bad at all. The red coating on the outside really helps with swallowing them. They do have a slight sweet type of smell to them. I didn't enjoy them during my first trimester due to their size and slight smell, but I found that the other prenatals I tried were even more unpleasant and these were the most tolerable for me. I will continue to use these during breastfeeding and will definitely take these again for my next pregnancy.

These pills are huge. That is my only complaint. I've only been taking them a few days. Will update in a couple of months. For now, I have no crazy smell, as some reviewers claimed. They do not leave a bad taste in my mouth. I do not burp up fish oil smell/taste. (And I have some pretty severe reflux that causes an especially unladylike amount of burping!) Pretty much all the complaints I saw in reviews for these pills I am not experiencing. Idk if quality control is just wild but mine are fine. But they are tricking huge! They are roughly the size of my foot. I'm an OK pill taker so I can get them down but I feel like it would probably hurt if this pill got turned sideways in my throat. So just a heads up, pills are great but if you have real trouble swallowing large pills, you might need a different vitamin.

First off, I am a real customer and I was NOT asked to review this product. With that being said, I believe that out of all of the methods and products I have tried to get pregnant, THIS MAY BE WHAT GOT ME PREGNANT!!! For about a year I have tried just about all of the fertile lubricants, fertility supplements and ovulation prediction kits. My biggest problem was being extremely fry all of the time. Even during ovulation I was more moist than normal but my cf would dry quickly and I would resort to lube... LOTS of lube. I ordered these prenatals in June but I didn't start taking them daily until October, 2016. By November I noticed that I had become more moist than usual, particularly during ovulation. In December I was so wet during ovulation that I didn't even need to use an ovulation test. I could tell that I was definitely fertile and ready to conceive! We didn't need ANY lube!! After we did the deed I was pretty confident that that was the winning night. I took a pregnancy test a few days BEFORE my missed period and I already had two very dark lines, I was indeed pregnant! HERE'S THE SECOND BEST PART: I am now 10 weeks and haven't had any morning sickness! I read that taking prenatals with DHA while ttc lowers your odds of having morning sickness. I will add that along with taking the NatureMade Multi+DHA, I was also taking 81mg chewable aspirin and B-complex vitamins everyday. I was drinking about 5-6 glasses of water daily (though you should drink about 8 glasses daily).

Yes, if you haven't notice I am not a female however I take these things very seriously and we actually purchased this product at our doctor's recommendation. For the most part ever prenatal vitamin is slightly different but our doctor was only concerned about a couple major ingredients which every vitamin satisfied. The reason why this one stood out is that it is a soft gel and only one pill to get both the vitamins and the fish oil/ Dha which makes it easier/ less of a hassle. The doctor mentioned taking too many pills at once reduces the absorption so this was a good way to not have to worry about that. Also having a 150 pill bottle is almost enough for 5 months (give or take a few days) so two will be enough for the entire pregnancy but Nature Made makes smaller bottles I thought this was pretty convenient. It is hard to be convincing because picking the right multivitamin for you or your spouse is really up to you and the doctor. Sure there are tons of opinions online and even your doctor will have their opinion but in the end it is how well the body holds up. My wife did have a short period where her nails thinned so we has to increase calcium intake a little but other then that there has not been any noticeable deficiency other then iron which is common. If you are reading this review I will assume congratulations are in order and we have tried two other brands of vitamins and will say my wife is impartial to which is better. I hope this helps you as if this is your first child like me, this whole thing is a new experience. Best of luck everyone.

I'm happy with these pills so far and they arrived in good condition. I saw some negative reviews about customers receiving expired bottles, but luckily this one is dated 2022 and was sealed properly. There is a slight odor of fish oil when the bottle is open, but that's normal since they have fish oil concentrate in them for omega 3 fatty acids. I've taken fish oil before so this doesn't bother me. I would purchase them again!

The decal is not smooth and text is blur. Bottle look very old and many scratch.

Contains all the good stuff but wow the pill is so fishy! The smell is so strong and the pills are so oily, it was extremely hard to swallow with morning sickness and even after the first trimester. I had to hold my breath to swallow it! Even my husband had a hard time to smell it.
