Let me start by saying I am normally a healthy mama. I love to exercise and eating right and have been known to go vegan for months on end. But as soon as I got pregnant with baby 2, all my healthy habits went kaput. This pregnancy has been absolutely terrible, especially during the first and into the second trimester. Now that I’m solidly in my second trimester, things are starting to shape up. However, when things weren’t so great and I couldn’t eat much (and when I did, it wasn’t always the best food for me), I was glad to have prenatal vitamins. Prenatal vitamins are so important for ensuring you and the baby are getting the proper nutrients you need while you’re pregnant!

As someone who has had different jobs in both the biotech and clinical trial fields, I know the importance of modern medicine and FDA standards. But, I’m also the girl who loves to be all-natural and will only take medication when I absolutely need to. This definitely can pose a problem when trying to find the best supplements and vitamins to take. Luckily, Forte Elements has Prenatal+. Prenatal+ is a prenatal supplement that was formulated based on published clinical research and uses FDA-compliant manufacturing facilities using pharmaceutical-grade best practices. This allows me to satisfy both my need to have natural ingredients, but also fulfill my desire to take a prenatal supplement that has high standards. These supplements are packed with vitamins and minerals that are backed by science.

Forte Elements sent me a complimentary 30-day supply of their Prenatal+ supplement plus their Anti-Nausea supplement. I really wish I had known about their Anti-Nausea supplement when I was in my first trimester! Nothing I did seemed to work and their Anti-Nausea supplement has the perfect blend of B6, ginger, peppermint, and clove – all things that my own midwife and friends had recommended to me to help with my nausea!

As for the Prenatal+ supplement, I couldn’t be happier knowing that my little girl is getting all the nutrients that she needs from her mama now. And did I mention that they are already packaged individually? SO EASY! All you do is pick up a packet each day out of the cute box and rip it open to find the exact amount you need to take. It’s so convenient for on-the-go moms, especially mamas like me who love to travel! No need to bring a huge bottle of pills with you on your next flight. Just throw the correct amount of packets into your bag and you’re good to go.

Forte Elements has more than just prenatal supplements too. Go to their website and check out all the other products they offer to see which one is right for you.
