Hi, I'm 8 and a half weeks pregnant and I haven't taken any folic acid or vitamins and I feel awful about it! To be honest I've felt so ill the thought of taking tablets made me feel worst! I'm really kicking myself now for not starting them sooner.

What ones to people recommend?

And is not taking them as much of a big deal as I'm making out in my head?!

Thank you in advance!

I take boots own brand folic acid and vitamin D. The tablets are small enough to swallow even when I was suffering with sickness.

Some people don't take them, but to be honest I wouldn't take the risk, such a cheap, small thing can help prevent some serious conditions.

I would take any of them but take after food and not in the morning if you feel sick then
