I take PrimaCare One, which is a Rx, but I really like it and I tolerate it well. Before TTC I took Flinstones. I hate swallowing pills. My ob told me that it was fine, just to take 2 once I got pg. OTC prenatals are perfectly fine too, just make sure they have AT LEAST 400mg (preferably more) folic acid.
But yes, unless you are a perfect healthy balanced eater, you need to take vitamins, at the minimum folic acid, even while TTC. Folic acid really helps prevent neural tube defects, and so much so that many foods (pasta for example) are fortified with it to try and increase our diets with it.
