    You shouldn't take any vitamins with Vitamin A in them when pregnant

    If you want to take a supplement, take Elevit...it is designed to be taken whilst pregnant, breastfeeding and trying to conceive.
    Just make sure you read the label, cos you can take too much of it if you do more than the recomended dose.

    Also, remember that vitamin supplements will only be of any help if your vitamin intake is inadequate...Your body cannot store them adn you will only end up excreting them in your urine

    Good luck TTC too!

    Thanks for the advice. I did not want to buy preggie vits already. They are quite expensive just because they are "tailor made", kwim? I was hoping to save a few buck BEFORE getting pg, I was going to start taking them asap after I get a BFP.

    Good point Limeslice Sometimes advertisements does really work, even though you KNOW it's just a gimmick. I do eat healthy, except for the odd choccie or ice cream, so I'll chat to my gyne when I go for my first u/s.
