Hi,

I'm 7 weeks (first baby!). I had my first doc appt on Friday just gone and she said I should be taking Folic Acid untill 3 months and Vitamin D from now until after the baby is born.

Hope this helps.

I'm 10 weeks and midwife advised me to take a multi vitamin such as pregnacare. I do feel better for taking it actually!!

Thanks for your advice. i bought folic acid yesterday and have started taking them, i have also ordered pregnacare online and will wait and see what the dr or midwife say. When do you think i should be seeing the midwife? ive got my first appointment with GP on the 31st, (first appointment i could get.) to tell them im pregnant i will be 6 weeks and 6 days then.
