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?

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

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
