Hi I'm not sure about the Vitamin B Complex, but I do know that folic acid is highly recommended!

I hope someone can give you a better answer - if not, check with your gp

Happy & Healthy 9 months to you

xxxxx

I have been taking a prenatal and continue to do so. I am unsure whats actually in them but I am guessing everything you need!

I was taking B100's to help with my short LP and my GP just said to stop taking it. No need to step it down slowly or anything. I take pregnacare.

B6 is needed to help absorb calcium, we need folid acid and Vitamin D the most. If you can take a pregnacare type mix if not get them all individually. I can't take it it, so I take vit d and folic acid at the moment.

I still take 50mg Vitamin B6 every day on top of my pregnacare, I've heard it's good for staving off m/s and I haven't had any yet (fingers crossed). It lengthened by luteal phase by 3 days prior to my BFP....

Apparently 50mg B6 was commonly combined with some other drug in the USA and was given to thousands women for years without any known problems so I figure it's pretty well tested and safe

I took 1/2 of my 50mg B6 (B complex)--which is what I had been taking post O, and folic acid and prenatal until 15 weeks. Then I ran out and couldn't be bothered to get more. Now I just take my prenatal (and iron tabs).

I'm going back on B6 because it's supposed to help with nausea.
