    Pretty sure it's folate that is the important thing in the first trimester (and pre-pg). I stopped at 12 weeks cos I have read that folate isn't good after that. Linked to increased risk of asthma.. Or something like that. Has been a while since I've looked it up.

    I agree with the taking advantage of vulnerable mums to be. They extend it into breastfeeding vitamins as well.

    I tried my hardest, but come about 8 weeks I was skipping days. combination of doing shift work (12hr and nights) I lost track on if i had taken them or not, and nausea, was hard to keep them down so just didn't bother...
