Make sure you take them with food as they can cause upset stomach, and also your urine might be bright yellow after you take them, that is the B vitamins and is completly normal.
Make sure you read the labels as not all prenatals are created equally! Some have very little vitamins in them at all. I take materna and they are pretty good!

I take One Source Prenatals from Walmart!! $10 for a bottle that last two months I think.. Two little pink pills! They are cheap and they dont upset my stomach! I take them at night with my Met and with a light snack! Never had a problem! But I cant say I have any more energy though..
I take nature made prenatals, $12 for 300 from Costco.
I would always run any supplement by my doc first, just in general. I think people are mostly referring to the b vitamin supplement which is supposed to offset the way metformin makes you sluggish sometimes.
ETA: the nature made are 1 a day and have 18mg of iron.

Tickled Pick, have U ever just taken Folic Acid. I was purchasing Folic Acid today (I was running out) and the pharmicist mention Materna (Prenatal/Postpartum Vitamin and Mineral Supplement),
Attempting to prepare my body for the pg soon (*fingers crossed*). But on the other hand, 2 much vitamin can harm the child right?
She mentioned also that the Materna are similiar to "horse pills"? If so, how do U get them down?
Thanks!
Janet
