Q: Prenatal vitamin samples from my midwife - have you taken these brands, and what is your opinion?

The brands are:

CitraNatal B-Calm
Vitafol Ultra
Concept DHA

These three are covered by my insurance if I were to love any of them. I'm especially excited to try the CitraNatal B-Calm as they are supposed to help with nausea/vomiting, and constipation. I've heard the Vitafol also helps with constipation. I'm nervous to try new vitamins, I have no idea why. I don't like medications and things like that much. I had been taking Enfamil Expecta (prenatal and DHA pill) but they were making me even more sick.

Have any of you tried these? What were your experience(s) with them?

I'm a bit confused as to how to take the CitraNatal, as there are 3 pills. One prenatal, and two B6 tablets. It says take 8 hours apart. Do I take all three pills 8 hours apart every day? Or the multivitamin with one B6, and then the other B6 8 hours later? So confused. I emailed my midwife and I'm waiting on answer to that. Sorry for such a detailed question :)

And WOW- I just checked out the price on these vitamins on GoodRx.com - with the GoodRx coupons - the prices are crazy! Thank goodness for insurance!

CitraNatal B-Calm is priced at $84.00
Vitafol Ultra is priced at $104.00 with coupon! (30 day supply)
Concept DHA is priced at $33.00

My Expecta Prenatals were only $17, and I thought those were pricey haha
