would it be better to talk a multi vit with folic acid in, maybe it isnt as strong?

Maybe it does, I did look up the side effect list and a bad stomach is the main one. lol
I'm only taking folic acid at the moment.. I had the same problem on pregnacare conception tablets .. they also made my wee SOOO orange

I've been taking normal Pregnacare, not the TTC one and I've been fine. I usually have a sensitive stomach for these kinda things but I haven't noticed any side effects

I take a nature made prenatal vitamin that has folic acid. It makes me nauseous if I take it on an empty stomach, but if I don't then it's completely fine.

Scientifically speaking, Folic Acid has no known side effects. Its far more likely to be the brand you are using than the FA itself.

And you can't get enough Folic Acid through food alone when you are pregnant. I would swap brands.

bethany-wood · Nov 30th, 2009, 17:18 PM

I normally take it after a meal and it doesn't matter what brand I take. BUT so far so good, i took a little break from taking folic acid and i've started it again a month later.... no bad stomach YET and no tummy cramps

Fingers crossed
