Top 5 Brands of Organic Prenatal Vitamins

Where better to start an Organic and Healthy Mom Blog than at the beginning of motherhood: Getting ready  to conceive.  My husband and I have come to understand the benefits of organic living. Although organic foods and items may be a little more costly (sometimes a lot more costly), we see it as an investment in our health and our family's future.
Taking care of yourself during pregnancy is the first step to building a healthy baby. Since me and my husband are trying for our first little one, I have been looking into organic prenatal vitamins. Here is what I found.

Guide to Buying Organic Prenatal Vitamins for the Health of You and Baby

For the health of mothers and their unborn babies, many--for good reason--turn to taking prenatal vitamins while pregnant and lactating (and even when trying to get pregnant too). There are a multitude of options out there, and although opting for an organic prenatal vitamin might be the best, some don't know where to start when it comes to finding what's right for them. Here are five brands of organic prenatal vitamins to consider when deciding what will be best for you and your baby during your pregnancy. As always, checking with your doctor about specific products will help make sure you're putting into your body what it needs and not what it doesn't.

New Chapter Perfect Prenatal Whole-Food Multivitamin
New Chapter is the standard when it comes to organic prenatal vitamins. Branded as nourishing fulfillment for you and your baby, Perfect Prenatal is an organic probiotic whole-food prenatal vitamin. New Chapter's Perfect Prenatal is designed to be easy digestible and completely safe. 


NewMark Prenatal Synbiotic Nutrients
An organic alternative to USP vitamins and minerals, NewMark's Prenatal Synbiotic Nutrients are cultured in organic whole-foods using health-promoting strains of probiotics. The Synbiotic Nutrients have been shown to be gentle and easily digested--even by more sensitive bodies. With 23 whole-food vitamins and minerals, and 17 energizing and protective superfood and herbal concentrates, Prenatal Synbiotc Nutrients pack quite a healthful punch. 


DailyFoods: Baby & Me 100% Whole Foods Organic Prenatal Vitamin
Suitable for vegetarians, DailyFoods Baby & Me organic prenatal vitamin is "prenatal nutrition as nature intended.  Baby & Me is a vitamin, mineral and herbal formula designed to provide you with the nutritional support you need during pregnancy and lactation. The recommended serving is 6 tablets daily.

Super Nutrition Simply One Prenatal Multi-Vitamin
Simply One is a food-based multivitamin enriched with organic greenfoods and herbs. Although some ingredients in the formula are certified organic, not all ingredients in SuperNutrition blends are. Hence, if you're looking for prenatals that are completely organic, Simply One may not be for you.


Rainbow Light Complete Prenatal System
Rainbow Light markets its Prenatal System as the first-ever food-based, once-daily multivitamin for pregnant and lactating women. With researched-based nutrition and protective potencies, the organic-based formula supports mother and baby for a healthy pregnancy. 
I find the Rainbow Light the best value for my money.  I like the idea of a once-a-day multivitamin rather than brands that suggest 3+ serving per day.  This brand also includes some extras that I like to include in my overall diet such as super-greens and raspberry leaf (which aids in menstrual and pregnancy discomforts).  What are your favorite brands?
