Pregnacare conception vs original

5 replies

I've been taking pregancare conception since TTC and am now pregnant.

I have 2.5packets of preganacare conception to take, which is almost 3 months worth! The leaflet in the box says I'm ok to finish these, and then take pregnacare original.

Does anyone happen know if the pregnacare original contains anything my body is likely to need, that I'll be missing by finishing the pregnacare conception? I can obviously google it but am finding comparing them fairly tricky.

(Please forgive my spelling of pregnacare! Autocorrect seems to have given me three different versions in my OP).

You only need folic acid and vitamin d, I assume it has those in?

As long as it has folic acid and vitamin D in they’ll be fine.

Yes, I think they’re fine to take. Apart from folic acid and vit D, you don’t really “need” any extra vitamins until the later stages.

The only vitamin you’re not meant to have in pregnancy is vitamin A in pregnancy, but it doesn’t contain that so it should be fine.

Thanks @JemimaTiggywinkle @Oneandabean @DinosaurGrrrrr ! That's really helpful.

I usually take a multivitamin anyway when I'm not pregnant, so I like someone having done the specific thinking for me for pregnancy.

It looks like there is some differences between the amounts of the various vitamins in pregnacare conception vs pregnacare original. I'll discuss specifically with my health professional at my booking in appt! Xx
