Vitamins

[MrsWilson69]

Hi all.

I’ve read in a couple places that I should stop taking folic acid now - am I ok to continue take this kind of Pregnacare or shall I stop?

I’m still taking it, midwife said it was ok to take the way through xx

Thanks Chick. Was going to ask next week but thought I’d drop it on here first! xx

I’m seeing the consultant today so will ask again then and let you know if I remember and all I seem to do is forget everything now 😂 How you getting on? Xx

There's no harm in taking it all the way though, so those multivitamins are absolutely fine. There are much cheaper alternatives though, I've got the ones from wilkos at a fraction of the price xx

The main one that was recommended that I keep taking was vitamin D, I just got the Asda own brand of pregnancy vitamins with the oil capsules as it was much better price and hardly any difference.

What is this for? Is it to help get pregnant?

[HollyT7 in reply to Emily123as]

It's for during pregnancy. They also do preconception vitamins.

Oh lol just seen this post again. Sorry

I’m going to continue throughout pregnancy as I always used to get colds etc but I feel a lot healthier when taking the vitamins and my understanding is that baby still needs vitamins to but definitely worth checking as I’m not 100% sure and they are expensive! Xx
