pregnacare

[themumfairy]

hiya
I'm 13+1 and since I finished taking folic acid at 12 weeks I started on the free pack of pregnacare I got at my first midwife appointment.
since taking them I've had diarrhea, everyday. it's not like a sickness bug.

Are the tablets in date? I didn't have that issue with mine

[themumfairy]

Yea there's a good date on them. it's probably totally unrelated but just thought I'd ask in case others had the same side effect

[pickingstrawberries]

Mine made me very sick.

Some people don't react well to them. Try taking them with your main meal as apparently that helps!

[loolah83]

They constipated me to high heavens!

I wouldn't take vitamins unless they are prescribed. In only taking vitamin D as directed. Everything else comes from your diet. The claims made by companies (the multi-billion pound vitamin pill industry) are unsubstantiated.

I had to stop taking them as i found they made morning sickness even worse,lord knows how. The minute i stopped taking them it eased off.

Hated them, gave me an upset stomach and made me sick. I switched to Sanatogen Mum to be

Pregnacare made me really sick and upset tummy, i switched to another make and it was much better.

Made me dizzy! Agree with above, I think some people just have a bad reaction to them.. Soon as I stopped taking them I was fine.
I'm just on fol acid and Vit D now- I know it's not what the midwife advises but the pregnancy vitamins were making me ill - and that cant be good in the long run

I found that they made me stupidly constipated! I've switched to just a Tesco brand pregnancy since about 27 weeks.
