    Berocca question

    I have a couple of days where I feel really good, and then go crashing back down and feel blergh. This week, I've had energy, felt pretty good, etc. Today I feel sick to my stomach, tired and DD is watching a movie (that says it all really - TV is not usually on these days until 4pm for her quiet time). I have more days where I struggle than not.

    I don't drink coffee so don't know what else I can do to give me that energy lift in the morning. I'm about to start iron supplements at the advice of my ob (my last blood test showed the count was on the low side of normal and he doesn't want it getting worse).

    Will Berocca help me feel better too as well as that hit of energy?

    Absolutely it should!! It's B and C vitamins. I love it Get the Performance one!

    Hope you feel better soon

    You shouldn't take berocca with pregnancy vitamins apparently. I was feeling really exhausted before we went away last year and wanted something to help so I was off to get some but the pharmacist told me not to (still taking Blackmores gold). Berocca themselves also say not to take with pregnancy vitamins. Never got as far as asking my Ob about it cos that seemed enough to not take the risk IYKWIM.

    Hmm, I just read that on Berocca's site. I'm taking Elevit, and ob wants me to stay on that. Grrrrrrrrrr.

    But I WANT to *tantrums*

    Ohhh I took Berroca the whole way through my pregnancy, with pregnancy vitamins.. Oppsies!

    A friend of mine took magnesium citrate supplements through her pregnancy to help with her energy levels, and the fact she was getting lots of muscle cramps, and it really helped her. Maybe got into your chemist or health food shop and see what they can give you?
