I am now 14 weeks pregnant and I have taken Centrum Pregnancy Care starting from first week of pregnancy? Is it safe to take the vitamin until labour? I mean it contains folic acid (400mg) is folic necessary?

Yes I still take mine I'm 32 plus 4, days. You may also find by week 20-28 you will be given iron tablets as baby needs sooo much iron for all the extra blood and growing that is going on. I'm on pregnacare and iron tablets from the midwife :)

There is iron in pregnacare. If you're not anaemic, you will not need more. Hold off for as long as possible - the constipation is horrendous!! :- p

I'm still taking the pregnacare, although I give myself regular breaks from it as the small amount of iron in it is soooo constipating!!
