    Hi Roquen.

    Congratulations on the BFP. Hope you have a wonderful pregnancy!!

    Personally, I'd go for Elevit because it does not have the iodine and get iodine from dietary sources. Calcium and magnesium is great for cramps as others have mentioned. You might want to check with a DR before taking anything.

    I lost a baby after taking Blackmores and possibly because of a sensitivity to iodine in supplements (and there was no indication I would have a problem prior to pregnancy. Blackmores is really conservative with its vitamin levels). Don't want to go into all the details here but there are some women (ultimately probably less than 1% of the population who can't take iodine - the other 99% probably can with no problem. I have no problem with dietary forms of iodine.

    ALL THE BEST and GOOD LUCK.
