Folic Acid? Pregnacare?!


Hi Everyone,

I am finishing my last week of contraception this week, will have a week with the and then will be TTC

Just wondering though - are the rest of you girlies taking any suppliments or anything? I have got some pregnacare - but have you seen these things?! They are HUGH! I can't swallow pills - i don't know why i just have never been able to! I have been on the patch contraception wise but now wondering if anyone knows of any chewable or liquid folic acid? Or the other recommended vitamins?!

Thanks all! x

Hiya Lownthwait! Congrats on the beginning of your TTC journey!
I've been taking pregnacare for 2 months now, yes they are really big, maybe you could break them in half first? I have to admit, I've noticed such a big difference taking them... my nails have never been so long and strong (i've worn acrylics for 3 years, now no longer need to!) and my skin has been lovely too, so they must be doing something! They are on offer in Boots at the mo, 3 for the price of 2 so I stocked up

Hi, welcome to the world of ttc. sending lots of your way.
Funny you should ask about liquid formulation of folic acid etc. Abidec do a liquid form which contains Folic acid and omega 3 & 6 other vitamins. I bought it in "savers" for only 1GBP. Check out the link:

Hope this helps.

I just take the regular Women's One a Day vitamin. It has the recommended amt. of folic acid. I don't know if I will keep with that or change once I am pregnant, I am still doing research on that--but I think I will and supplement calcium, iron, and other important things with food.
