is it safe to take these?

[Broodybabywannabe]

hi all

am ttc, and am taking asda vers of pregnacare which contains folic acid so thats that sorted right?

am also taking b12 supplement vit c cranberry extract and cod liver oil, are these safe? i am more than willing to drop them if any risk?

TIA x

I'd say get a vitamin B complex or a vitamin b6.

Not so sure about the cod Liver Oil during TTC but I think you're not supposed to take it once pregant.

The Asda vitamins should be giving all you need.
I'm taking B complex and vitamin e too just because I read they aid conception.

Just searched and found this info on Cod Liver Oil, but it is just talking about during pregnancy rather than before.

There are two types of fish oil supplement - those made from the liver of the fish and those made from the body of the fish. Supplements made from the liver of the fish, such as cod liver oil, contain the retinol form of vitamin A and need to be either avoided altogether or strictly limited in pregnancy so that your daily intake does not exceed 3,300 micrograms (mcg). On the other hand, fish oils not derived from fish livers contain lots of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which is essential for your baby's developing eyes and brain.

thnk u!

i think i will try and cut out all other than pregnacare,and get Vit e and b? does it need to just be vit b, cos ive got b12which contains this that and the other x

I think you'll be ok with the pregnacare and the B12.
