pregnacare vitamins

Morning Ladies
Nurse told me during my 12 week hosp visit to start taking pregnacare vits from 18-20 weeks on - is this necessary? I took them from 2-9 weeks initially for folic acid & omega etc and found them very tough to swallow, plus I associate them now with morning sickness and the thoughts of taking them again is killing me!! Are there alternatives???

they made me sick also neytiri so I stopped. I wonder why she told you take them? Did she think you were lacking in something like iron or vitamin d? there are other ways of getting these into your system? I think once you have a varied balanced diet you should be OK? Ask your GP at your next visit?

Some nurses seem to recommend these just for the sake of it so ask why you need them. One midwife told me to take them but my doc & a different midwife told me I didn't need to. I dont like taking anything for the sake of it so generally get a second opinion. Apart from anything else they are expensive to be taking if you don't need them.

I stopped taking them around the morning sickness time too cos I was feeling so crappy and didn't think they were helping. I've started taking them in the last week cos I feel like my diet isn't varied enough & don't want babs to be missing out on anything. Back to the doc this week so will chat to her about it then too
