HungryBunz11 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I am not yet pregnant but am scheduled for a frozen embryo transfer next month. I want to be doing all I can to make it a success, hence why I'm Whole30-ing until I get my big fat positive. My doctor recommended I begin taking a prenatal vitamin right away. I was on Whole30 day 13 until yesterday when I took my old prenatal vitamin without thinking. I had major digestive upset a couple hours later. Sure enough, when I read the label I found it had corn starch in it. Ugh! I've since been on a quest to find a vitamin that both has everything needed for pregnancy AND is grain free. I'm beginning to think one doesn't exist! What do other mamas and mamas-to-be take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami33 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I have been taking Thorne Basic Prenatal and Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA for my whole30. Found them both on Amazon and they are pricey. But they are compliant! If you do take the thorne, make sure you take one at 3 different times. The first day I took all 3 after breakfast and was miserable the rest of the day. Here is a thread discussing the Thorne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jill88williams Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I take Pure Encapsulations Nutrient 950 w Vitamin K https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017O5N3W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I found it recommended on an older Whole9 forum when I got pregnant and I was looking for an option without "all the junk."

amc54460 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I took the above mentioned prenatal while pregnant and have continued one month postpartum. Should I supplement with calcium since it’s not listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I supplement with calcium since it’s not listed? That's a discussion you should be having with your care provider. If you are eating a lot of dark leafy greens and other high calcium foods, then you should be good but we wouldn't say one way or the other whether you should be supplementing as we don't know your context.
