pregnacare, how long did u take it for?

[blondebaby111]

I've beentaking pregnacare since I first found out I was expecting really and in the beginning it was fine but just lately the thought of taking it makes me gag!! The tablets just seem to have this foul taste the second its in my mouth

I'm extremely lucky and didn't suffer with morning sickness but every evening this is the one thing that I hate. And I'm retching even before I took it. I'm now 14 weeks, how long do I take it for??

Right thru, then they even do a one specifically for breast feeding if that's what your doing. Try seven seas ones basically the same stuff maybe the way the pregnacare sticks and tastes on your tongue is what's making you gag x

I took it up until 12 week scan and then it's not that I consciously haven't taken it. I just keep forgetting.

To take mine I have a mouthful of water, tip head back then drop tablet in at same time as swallowing. Can't stand a tablet in a dry mouth.

Im still taking it, 34 weeks tomorrow. I "upgraded" to the one with Omega 3 a few months ago. Only buy at boots on 3 for 2 but still pricey! I thought I may as well carry on though and will probably take the breastfeeding one after had baby. My iron levels etc have been fine so far, wonder if it has helped...just had some more blood taken and waiting for results so will see! Although I guess nothing is a substitute for varied/healthy diet etc

I took folic acid with vit d before and during first trimester, then bought some boots own brand pregnancy multivitamins. Every time I take one I feel nauseous, so I've stopped. Oh, and in the first week when I took them every day, the iron was too much for me!

I'm having a good pregnancy so far (26 weeks now) so am hoping my healthy and varied diet is seeing me through!

I stopped after about 14 weeks because of the constipation it gave me! I was terrified of getting piles so early on.

never

basic folic acid to start and nothibg after 12 weeks. I honestly dont think it makes a difference

ok thanx everyone, I've been fairly good so far so may carry on with it, I'm prone to anaemia but so far so good my levels are fine, whether or not its the pregnancare helping I don't know.
Thanx for the tip fattymcchubster, I've never been great at taking tablets but these are dreadful x

I'm still taking the breastfeeding ones, dd is 6 months old. I've been taking pregnacare in one form or another since I was 4 weeks pregnant! I suppose I'll carry on til dd is taking her own bloody vitamins.

She is a healthy little lump so I guess it's worth it.

I've been taking it since I found out that I'm pregnant, but when I went for my 12 week scan, the nurse that took my blood told me that you don't really need to take it after the first trimester... I suppose it's just down to personal preference though!

I took pregnacare for about 3 months before conceiving DC1, and haven't stopped as I'm still breast feeding, and now I've just found out we've conceived for a 2nd time! :-) Pregnacare rocks. I always have it with my evening meal.

I buy tesco's own. Still taking it at 29 weeks as I'm vegetarian and wanted to ensure I was getting everything the baby needs.

Just a money tip, but its often cheaper on Amazon than doing the Boots 3 for 2. And free postage

I don't use pregnacare, but I'm still taking pregnancy vitamins at 27 weeks. I do forget the odd day which I don't stress about as my diet is very healthy, but I see them as a bit of an insurance policy.

What is pregnacare? I am 7 weeks and the Dr prescribed me 'preconceive folic acid' an I have not taken anything additional. Should I be?x

I stopped takin it after about 14 weeks. Figured that on.the days i took them i felt so sick!! Felt fine if i didnt take them. Its more important in first trimester. But babies were fine before they were invented so i wouldnt worry too much x
