This prenatal made my stomach upset if I took it in the morning so I take it in the afternoon and it's great. I like that it has iron, calcium and Omega 3's. Of all the samples from my doctor, none had all the vitamins that gesticare has. I didn't put a 5 for very satisfied because I havent met my baby yet :)

THIS IS MY FIRST PREGNANCY FOR WHICH I'M TAKING GESTICARE DHA. SO FAR I'VE HAD GREAT RESULTS. THEY'RE EASY FOR ME TO TAKE AND I'VE HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS. THEY'RE NOT SO HUGE THAT I HAVE TROUBLE TAKING THEM. I CHANGED DR'S RECENTLY, AND WHEN I TOLD HIM MY OTHER DR. PRESCRIBED GESTICARE, HE DIDN'T CHANGE IT AND SAID THAT I COULD CONTINUE USING IT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
