I can't decide what vitamin supplements I should be taking and wondered if anyone could help. Since my DS was born nearly two years ago (I am still breastfeeding) I have been taking a general multivitamin + iron - this covers my Vit D requirements etc (I also give DS Abidec vitamin syrup). However we are now planning to start TTCing again quite soon. I know I should be taking 400mcg of folic acid per day, but my multivits only contain 200mcg. They also state you should not take them if there is a possibility of becoming pregnant, I guess because they contain vitamin A.
My question really is whether there is a cheap multivitamin supplement which would supply me with at least vitamin D and 400mcg folic acid, preferably other vitamins too, but without containing vitamin A. Does such a thing exist? I am reluctant to start taking expensive Pregnacare supplements - they cost about £10-£15 per month which seems a lot.
Any advice welcome...
