| Vitamins/Supplements advice please...
Morning Ladies
I am now in the third trimester  so excited!! I actually can't wait to give birth now shame I have to wait 13 weeks humph!
Just a quick post to get some advice please..
I took Folic acid from the day we were trying to conceive up to 4/5 months pregnant and then I kinda just ended up not taking them as I read it is not imperative to take them after 3 months. However, I wanted to know should I be taking any other supplements like pregnacare or some other? I always forget to ask my mid wife when I go 
Any advice on this would be really helpful
thanks in advance xxx |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I have been taking the Sanatogen pregnancy [pink tub] vitamins with folic acid since early pregnancy and i am going to keep taking them until i give up breast feeding as for the sake of the price of them i feel they just give me somethings i'll probably only end up laking as my iron count has never been overly great and vitamins always are good so i think they will benefit both me and bubs i also checked with my midwife and she said it was the best idea.I think it just comes down to each individual and what you think you need! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I take pregnacare - the extra ones with the omega 3 in aswell. Only upgraded to the omega thre packet when i came into third tri. I've got used to taking them now so i just thought i might aswell continue because it's not doing either of us any harm. Its personal preference though i think. |
