I take a prenatal vitamin which has folic acid in it.

I take pregnacare which has all the vitamin supplements you need in it. Or sanatogen do a prenatal all in one too. You'll prob get your iron levels checked with your first set of bloods, so I'd wait to take any iron supplements until you get your results. x

Hi

Congratulations!!

I have been taking pregnacare for the past couple/3 months - you can take it during breastfeeding too.

just ensure you don't take a standard multivit as too much of one of the vitamins is harmful for baby so try and get a multivit specially designed for pregnant women
