Ladies I need some advice and recommendations about vitamins! I was taking pregnacare which started off ok but I struggle taking tablets anyway and the size and taste of these has made it impossible for me
to swallow without retching or actually being sick.

I then ordered the liquid version of pregnacare which I tried for the first time last night. Tasted of orange to begin with and then the dreaded taste of the original tablets (absolutely vile) which made me retch and gag again. And now I'm all worked up retching just thinking about attempting to take it this morning.

Please help!!

Well I did have an early scan but I'm still petrified for the 12 week scan. I keep snapping at DH but it's only because I'm so nervous for it... although I think he's getting used to me snapping a bit now! I'm the least argumentative and so calm usually yet I'm getting so annoyed at the littlest thing.
I don't know why I'm so scared - I have no history of miscarriage and this is first baby but I think there are so many stories if you try and Google anything that it's imprinted in my mind.
Only 2 days to wait now for scan!

Also my bump is quite prominent for my body - I'm living in leggings and elasticated waist trousers. I'm usually a size 6 and have a flat stomach so maybe that's why. I also have a dark line developed under my belly button which I didn't think was supposed to come this early? I'm quite olive skinned though and I think skin tone/colour has something to do with it?!

How are you today boxes? I feel dizzy / sea-sick most of the time with occasional head aches, just a pregnancy thing for me but no harm getting checked if you're worried it's more than that.
colour you could try mixing the liquid vitamin in to a drink you like (juice?) to mask the taste? I can't ever manage pregcare as they make me even sicker than I am already, the boots folic acid+ vit d combo tablets are really small and flavourless and those are the really important ones to be taking so you could try those instead?
No scan for me yet either, it's on Wednesday. The last time I had a scan it was to confirm a mc so I am a bit nervous, but I've been so sick and have a very definite bump so I am pretty optimistic

Colourmylife I'm just taking a folic acid pill and a vit D pill everyday (both small tablets!) Dr and Midwife said they were the only important ones and I didn't want to buy "pregnancy" multivits at vast expense if they're the only two main ones you need- the rest you get naturally from your normal diet. So far all good for me so it's obviously not doing any harm! Xx

Yep, I'm also just taking folic acid and vit D. Tiny tablets. I was taking vit c as well, but they've just run out and I'm not replacing them. Still a week till booking for me, and nearly two weeks until my scan! I feel like I've been waiting forever!! I'm already starting to get anxious about the scan, even though like you Rubert it's my first pregnancy... Guess it's just hard to know. Hopefully the next couple of weeks will fly by!

Yeh just vit d + folic acid here too which are small. I also take a combined b6 & magnesium tablet for sickness but that's tiny too.

Oh and I hide them in food like a child cos I can't swallow tablets with water like a normal adult!!

Thanks all, I think I will try the small tablets of just folic acid and vitamin d.
I was just a little worried because of how bad my appetite and diet have been recently and worried about baby getting enough vitamins.

Hopefully my appetite will improve soon and I can stomach fruit and vegetables again.

I'm another one just taking the boots folic acid with vitamin d and no problems

In every pregnancy the midwife has told me not to worry about a poor diet (with ds2 it was almost exclusively crisps for a month or so) as the baby will take what it needs first. You might feel the lack of fresh fruit and veg yourself but other than folic acid and vit d (which lots of people are deficient in to start with) baby will get everything it needs from your body.

Thank you potatoesof that does make me feel better. I just feel so pathetic!

Mirroring potatoes, my midwife also said not to sweat the quality of your diet in the 1st trimester. Just eat whatever you can manage!

Week 10 today and 1st scan is 4 days away - yay! ﹰMidwife not told me what kind of scan it will be though - should I ask?

Nausea vastly reduced over the last week and energy levels almost back to normal, though I do get out of breath faster when exercising. Also rediscovered the wonder of Patak's hot mango pickle. SOOOO SALTY AND SOUR! My dream food at the moment. With cheese crackers it is THE BEST!

Hey ladies,

The tapas meal was ok until the end when they brought chorizo out... The smell turned my stomach and I had to leg it to the loo which was engaged so had to barge into the men's to throw up. I had to excuse myself to go home claiming one of the kids at work had given me a bug!

I've been on the sofa in my dressing gown all day and only managed to keep lucozade down. I'm wondering if I should see the GP to get a different antisickness I'm a bit concerned about how much weight I've lost.

Everyone has said how the sickness is a good sign but it's making me miserable! My nipples are also killing me and I'm producing milk already. (I do have high prolactin anyway so I'm not surprised but it's still annoying!)

It's my partners birthday today and I feel so bad for not being able to do food and stuff for him. He's taken himself off to his mums.

Anyway happy sunday everyone, I know you are all feeling similar or worse... The countdown to the second trimester begins!!

Bless you 88claire, well done for making it that far last night! Second trimester isn't too far off now, we can do it!! Xx

Another one counting that days to T2 over here! I thought the worst was behind me after a day of not being sick at still on Friday but today has been worse than ever! 9+2 so hoping it will all be better soon (please!!). We've got this ladies!! X

88claire well done! Hope you have had a relaxing day.

potatoes I am feeling a bit better, headache and side pain has calmed down, still get the odd 'I've been at sea for two weeks' feeling but better than yesterday.

Busy day here, riding the mad horse, then went into London for the st paddy's day festival thing, lots of people so dp was acting as some sort of self appointed body guard to make sure my 'delicate area' didn't get squished (he seems to have reverted back to olden times!).

Good luck to all with scans this week, hopefully going to make it to ten weeks on tues, then booking in (finally!) on fri before the countdown to the first scan on the 11th. Going away for a week before then, so got that to look forward to and take my mind off it (chance will be a fine thing!)...

I've got half a pack of pregnacare which I stealth bought. I don't like them.

But I'm finishing the pack because they were effing pricey then am moving onto just folic acid and vit d.

Scan on Tuesday. Eeek. 11+5 here today.

I'm currently taking pregnacare but know what you mean. They are really big and have an aftertaste. I also already have a bump! This is my third pregnancy and I'm normally a size 10. Really struggling to hide it now and don't have my scan until 31st march

So I had a private scan yesterday and got to see my jellybean in full glory! Well worth the money (no history, just impatient) and seeing the heartbeat was great :-) 9 weeks today according to scan so a little ahead of my dates.

Congrats Debs, that's fab news. I'm glad you've got the reassurance you needed. I'm 10 weeks today and haven't seen anyone except my GP yet. Booking in on Friday and hopefully will get a scan date after that.

It's my first ever pregnancy so I'm really nervous.

Congrats Deb!

Congratulations Deb

Congratulations, Debs! x

Good news debs

Congrats debs!

doomkitty I am pretty much identical to you, 10 weeks tomorrow, booking in on fri and nervous as hell as well.
