Just curious as to which pregnancy vitamin people take.
Ive been taking the seven seas pregnancy since I got my bfp (I’m 8 weeks now).
A friend of mine says she takes the pregnacare max vitamins which are pricier but if they’re “better” I’ll take those instead!

My midwife advised to just keep taking my folic acid and vit d until 12 weeks then move onto a multi vit. I am taking Veblen seas as many women say pregnacare make them feel sick and I've only just stopped feeling sick from morning sickness so went with another brand x

Took folic acid to 12 weeks and just on a vitamin D tablet now.

I'm 35 weeks now and just take vitamin d. Just boots own brand one. Spent loads on pregnacare earlier in pregnancy and don't think it was necessary. My midwife told me not to bother and just stick to boots own brand vit d which I will keep taking after baby is born.

Just took folic acid first trimester and have taken vitamin d and b12 throughout which I'd take normally anyway. On prescribed iron tablets too but if you have a good diet and lots of fruit and veg there is no need to take an additional vitamin tablet, your body will just pee out the excess vitamins so you are literally flushing money down the toilet if you get an expensive one.

^this is because most vitamin tablets have the max daily allowance of vitamins in them (sometimes more!), and you don't need that quantity if eating well hence your body just getting rid of the excess
