I've read that there's supposed to be an Ensure formula made for pregnant women, but I can't find it on their website. Which Ensure would be best for this? I'm pregnant again and am tired of the large prenatal pills by Rainbow Light (or something like that) that's hard to swallow and makes me sick. I do take folic acid and iron and eat lots of fruits, vegetables, proteins, etc. But I want a backup formula too. I like the taste of Ensure Powder so I thought maybe it would be a good choice. Any thoughts? It's been a stressful pregnancy so far with three family members with serious diseases, moving and struggling with my job. But we want this baby to be just as healthy and beautiful as our first! Thank you!

What can I do next?

I consider Ensure a kind of poison. When my husband had cancer and nutrition was the key a nurse showed me how to make homemade organic drinks out of organic ice cream, nutritional powder and milk that would keep him going. It was the organic duplicate of that product but healthy
It is really hard to find the right vitamin that does not make you sick. My choice is Maternal Symmetry by Dr.Tori Hudson.
Above all get some rest. Put your feet up higher than your heart. Sleep an extra half hour a day. Get a massage or at least a foot massage every week.

I took Thorne prenatal vitamins. They are capsules and you can take one in the morning, noon and night and get your three. I would just take them right before I went to bed and didn't have a problem with them. I took them both times I was pregnant.
