I’ve was told to stop the folic acid and Vit d at 12 weeks then switch to pregnancare as that has all the vitamins in it xx
It also depends on your BMI, at my booking appt I got prescribed a higher dose of folic acid to take throughout my pregnancy. I think the guidance depends on your other health characteristics
Yeah I’m aware as I have a higher BMI, I was just saying what I was told like everyone else
TMI but the pregnacare made my wee fluorescent so I was pretty thankful when my consultant said I didn’t need it!
Don’t worry! I managed about a week of pregnacare, 2 folic acid pills and 2 vitamin d pills before I couldn’t keep any down due to HG and Baby R is perfect
if you can take them, amazing but don’t panic if you haven’t managed the recommended doses. Obviously not saying to intentionally not take them I’m just saying don’t fret if you haven’t got it textbook perfectOmg is that what it is with my wee!!!! I was like how am I this dehydrated when all I do is drink
never once occured to me that when I don't take them (forgetful) my wee is normal hahahahaOmg thank you for this coz I just had a major crying breakdown that I wasn’t taking the right things xxDon’t worry! I managed about a week of pregnacare, 2 folic acid pills and 2 vitamin d pills before I couldn’t keep any down due to HG and Baby R is perfect
Honestly please don’t worry. So many people can’t take them for whatever reason, can’t ever keep them down, miss doses, get it wrong, just don’t bother, didn’t know they were supposed to, don’t know they’re pregnant til it’s too late to make a difference etc, and we don’t see millions of babies born with issues because their mum didn’t take the vitamins to the letter of the guidelines. In an ideal world we’d all take them exactly as we should but that’s just not reality and your baby won’t come to any harm as a result of your vitamins
Thank you so much for the reassurance
means so much!It's just your body peeing out the extra vitamins etc it doesn't need.Omg is that what it is with my wee!!!! I was like how am I this dehydrated when all I do is drink
It took me a while to work it outOmg is that what it is with my wee!!!! I was like how am I this dehydrated when all I do is drink
I remember having to show my husband my wee as it looked radioactive. I was so embarrassed having to take it to the midwife 
You don’t need to take folic acid after 12 weeks because the neural tube is formed by then, but there’s also no harm in continuing it - I’ve got a stash of pregnacare multivitamins I got on 3 for 2 so I’m still taking them at 26 weeks
Vitamin D I’d continue taking unless you are out in the sun every day for at least 15 minutes with a decent amount of skin exposed (e.g. face, neck, forearms).Second this - I threw up and wet myself at the same time after taking pregnacare
which in turn made me cry my eyes out 
I took some cheapo asda ones instead and got on much better with them!Same! It’s like morning sickness is back with a vengeance except I’m actually being sick.32 weeks and the nausea has just hit me like a brick wall, I just suddenly feel so so so sick
I think it’s really naughty for them to promote a brand like that. Pregnacare is no better than a decent multi vit without vit A but 4x the price. Plus it makes a lot of women sick!
I like to think of the fact I’ll be paying for a year less of nursery fees!
