    TTC Multi Vitamins - which one to choose

    Since I was taking Elevit about 3 years ago when I was last TTC there seems to have been a explosion on the market for pregnanct vitamins.

    Which ones do you take and why??

    Thanks

    I like the Nature's Own pregnancy platinum vitamins, because they are one of the few where you only need to take one a day.

    Elevit you only have to take one a day.

    i look at the level of folic acid first.

    500 mcg folic acid per day.

    if you have family history of neural tube issues (e.g. spina bifida), they usually recommend higher, but check with your doc if this applies to you.
