Vitamins

[kentDee]

Hello. Im now 17 weeks pg and not taking any vitamins. What should I be taking? I finished taking folic acid after 12 weeks so what now?

i've been taking santogen pro natal suppliments from 10 weeks which my midwife advised has kept me on the right side of an iron deficency, but tbh i dont think you need to worry because the suppliments are expensive and as long as your eating healthily (cravings aside) and getting your calcium, (which is an essential not only for baby but for you as that little miracle will be leeching almost every drop you have in you, causing your gums to bleed and teeth to rot!)you'll be fine. enough thought goes into what you need avoid now you're pg, last thing you need to worry about is what you need to take.

LeonieD how many weeks are you?

I did attempt to take the Pregnacare tablets but they're too big and keep returning upwards . Are the other ones mentioned Biocare and Sanatogen smaller?
They might have a better chance of staying in my stomach?
