Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 > Hi! I'm currently pregnant with #2 and taking the New Chapter Complete Prenatals. I find they are very good, They are ex though. I have not tried but heard that Nature's Plus and Rainbow Light also make very good prenatals that are vegetarian (not sure if they are vegan). Price-wise, they will be easier to swallow than New Chapter! As for your OB, like others had mentioned, it depends on how you feel abt her in other ways. If the veggie issue would be a hindrance, then it may be wise to switch as you don't want to feel stressed each time you go to her! Some docs are more open, some not. Good Luck!!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I learned from Carolyn's Baked Samosa recipe that my name means plain bleached flour: " 1.5 cup plain flour, bleached (maida) " Maybe that explains my carb cravings! from Maida Citizens for Pets in Condos, http://www.petsincondos.org South Florida Vegetarian Events, http://www.soflavegevents.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
