Yes it's fine. I got it on prescription from the doctor.

Yes, I got through bottles of the stuff during both my pregnancies!

Lunastarfish · 04/05/2015 10:14

yeah, GP said it was fine.

It says on the tablet packets that you can take during pregnancy

It's a life saver during pg

Get it from your doctor samroberts, you get it free on prescription!

Oh hell yes! I am on bottle (large) 4 and am only 32 weeks. And it's the advance stuff! I get it free on repeat prescription from GP. I would not be surviving or sleeping at all without it.

Also forget about measuring dose, the standard pregnancy amount is a swig! Like an alchie from a bottle.

You can get it on prescription? Gutted. I've gone through 4 large bottles so far. Totally agree with you picklesausage --- I always swig straight from the bottle! :)
