Ive been taking conception vitamins but now need to move to pregnancy vits. I know they only recommend folic acid and vitamin D but have taken pregnacare max for other pregnancies. Just wondered if there was a better brand of decent vitamins people recommend or shall I stick with pregnacare?

There's no difference in ingredients so save your money and buy supermarket own

@SouthwestSis none of them round me do their own, I went round them all today, neither do the chemists. It’s either seven seas, pregnacare or one called proceive.

Hi there. I took Pregnacare in a previous pregnancy and had no problems other than the usual constipation 😅 I am currently taking Proceive in this pregnancy. I had a miscarriage a few months ago so I felt like I wanted to give my body and baby the best chance this time with lots of extra vitamins. Proceive is very expensive in my opinion but you can usually manage to find a bogo half off sort of deal. I’ve found them very good. No constipation this time. They’ve definitely helped with my fatigue and nausea. I’ve noticed nausea is much worse when I’m late taking them. But be warned they turn your wee a lovely luminous yellow 😅 it’s all the excess vitamins being flushed out. I will probably switch to Pregnacare for 2nd trimester. Or switch it up to help cut costs.

@CaliGirl47 thank you. I hadn’t heard of proceive before so I was wondering if they were better. I don’t mind paying extra for the best I can during the first trimester and then switch down afterwards. I know in the grand scheme of things there’s probably not much difference, I just like to feel like I’m giving baby the best I can
