How long did you take your prenatal vitamins for?

[Ladylove]

What prenatal / BF vitamins are you taking girls? My usual has run out (I'm BF) and not sure if to replace with more of the same or not (Elevit).

I'm taking Blackmores but only cause they were on special. I normally take Natures Own because they're usually cheaper than Blackmores and have the same ingredients.

I take aspirin, folate, and the Swisse pregnancy. The Swisse ones are a big capsule but they don't make me queasy or give reflux.
I can't take elevit as the new boxes have too much iodine and the old ones without are too hard to find. The Swisse has iodine, but not extra like elevit. Iodine is no good for those with thyroid issues.

I take Swisse Pregnancy - have found them fantastic so far, but do heed the instructions on taking the tablet with a meal! I like how you only need to take one a day and I plan on continuing with this brand right through the pregnancy and breastfeeding. I also take Caltrate with Vitamin D as my recent blood test showed I was vitamin D deficient and I figure the extra Calcium wouldn't hurt either (as I don't consume a lot of dairy)

Did they make you a bit sick when you took them without food one day Anna? Are they a liquid cap?

[Anna**]

Willow5Yes they did and very quickly. That being said, I get the exact same thing if I take the regular Swisse vitamins (when not preg) so maybe just because they are rather strong? In any case I've very happy with them and make sure I have them with food. They are a gel cap, quite big too but never have a prob swallowing them.
