Hi beauties! Can you please help me in finding a good prenatal vitamins that are tried and tested. My midwife says get your vitamins via food but I know my body food isn't enough I need supplements.

My doctor recommended folic acid and vitamin c, this helps to reduce the chances of your baby getting Spina bifida. You need the vitamin c so that your body absorbs the folic acid. Then just take a vitamin that is for pregnancy it doesn't have to be an expensive one.

Definitely take folic acid and iodine.  But I'm sure your midwife will already have you on that.

Congratulations on your pregnancy :-)

I took Folic Acid and Elevit. Was really good. 

I know its not a vitamin but I also used the Palmers Cocoa Butter Stretchmark cream and that worked wonders :-)

My midwife had me on a cocktail of stuff i hated but im glad for it. 

Flaxseed - i had the capsules. 6 a day! Theyre massive. Apparently theres a liquid thats better. Helps all the little things in the little one grow. Disgusting burps. 

Iron - floradix or your midwife should be able to prescribe tablets. Keeps the blood count up or something, something with blood anyway

I was on baby asprins as well but i think that was a me thing not an every one thing

I took the blackmores version of elevit. Cheap and cheerful, does the same thing as elevit without the massive price tag!

Congratulations on your wee babe. Good luck!
we aint had nothing but maggoty bread for three stinkin days!

The flaxseed tabs are huge but it's a wonderful supplement.
Imagine a world where people know peace, and do one small thing to create it.

Floradix is awesome ( especially when breast feeding and after the birth). I found I got anaemic after giving birth to all of my boys.
