Hi all,
just thought you might appreciate what I discovered at boots today seeing as the cost of living is so high right now.

At the moment boots are doing ‘3 for 2’ on vitamins.
some branded pregnancy vitamins are £15 per pack but I have found a slightly less expensive way around it.
I brought two packs of boots own brand pregnancy vitamins and one pack of omega 3 oil capsules. The whole lot came to £7.50!
I’ll take the omega 3 oil every other day as I try to eat oily fish a few times a week also.

Just wanted to post in case you were unaware. Oily fish should be limited to just a couple of times per week during pregnancy.

www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/keeping-well/foods-to-avoid/
What to limit
you should eat no more than 2 portions of oily fish a week, such as salmon, trout, mackerel or herring
you should eat no more than 2 tuna steaks (about 140g cooked or 170g raw) or 4 medium-size cans of tuna (about 140g when drained) per week
Information:
Tuna does not count as an oily fish

You can have 2 tuna steaks, or 4 medium-size cans of fish, as well as 2 portions of oily fish.

I got free ones from the community midwife. They are called “NHS Healthy Start Vitamins”.
