Hi I'm rubbish at remembering to take vitamins but as TTC is so important to me and DH, I have been very good taking folic acid for nearly 4 months nearly every day Having read what other people are taking I'm a bit confused on what else I should be taking, so is there a multivitamin that covers the important ones? One a day is about my limit.
Many thanks
my doctor just prescribed me a prenatal vitamin that also have folic acid in it and never gave me a folic acid only tablet. I really don't have much knowledge on vitamins and what not...i am just taking what the doctor prescribed!!
Here in the UK (in my short experience of fertility and doctors) is that they pretty much leave you to get on with things until you are pg then hand you over to the MW who sees you when you are 8 weeks or more! The doc said he could prescribe me folic acid but it wasn't worth it and didn't mention any other vits! to be honest you can get folic acid for a third of the price of a prescription so i suppose he was right. I expected a big check up and lots of help
I went to Boots and just compared the different pre-natal vitamins. I chose the one that gave me 100% RDA of all of them rather than less. It was Boots own make 'Mum to be Plus'.

Any pregnancy multivitamin is good to take, the difference between pregnancy one and normal ones is the pregnancy ones dont have vitamin A in them.
Pregnacare ones are good, but i buy asdas own make so save pennies
