I take Alexanders Formula Six (from health store). OB looked over them and was very happy with levels of all things in it. Folate, B vits, iron and vit C. Plus everything else in there.

I had been taking them nearly a year before falling pg, and right thru the first tri. I've been a bit slack lately. It's 3 tablets a day! hehehe.

My understanding is folate is important to take 3-4 months before conceiving (if planned of course!) and then through the first 12 weeks. I'm glad I persevered with the vitamins thru the first tri as I wasn't eating healthily at all, so I didn't feel so guilty.

OB said I don't really need multi's anymore if I'm eating a healthy western diet, but would like me to keep up my iron & vit C. I really should just keep taking the vitamins coz I'm not the best at eating healthy.
