What are you taking?

[MrsX]

As the thread asks, what are you taking for this pregnancy? Vitamins, supplements or nothing?

I was just taking an iron & folate tablet till I realised that the silly woman who sold them to me lied :mad: She told me they had 500mg folate.....the only have 300mg :eek: So I called the pharmacy & have been taking 2 a day.

Tomorrow though, I am thinking I will get some Elevit. I've heard good things.

So what are you doing?

I was taking just folate.. and once i fell preg i started blackmores preg tablets plus im also on an iron tablet due to low levels...

[AliyahBlake]

I'm taking Cenovis Pregnancy and breastfeeding vitamins - they seem pretty good and I thought I'd try them as they were cheaper than the Blackmores ones (all the ingredients are pretty much the same).

[mini_me]

Im taking blackmores gold. Loved it when taking them with Scarlett and shes perfect :thumbsup: so happy to take them again ... also think their great value for money 100 caps for $25 :yelclap:

[MegACT]

Im taking Elevit which was recommended by my doctor.

[Clinya]

I take the Blackmores pregnancy and breastfeeding formula tablets.

The drs and midwifes always recommended elevit to me too but i took the blackmores ones when i was pregnant with my first and she is perfect :)

[SweetDreams]

I take the Blackmores pregnancy and breastfeeding as well.

[Kizmet]

[Kyahli]

hi,
i am taking the Blackmores ones also, though i have found that the 'gold' ones are on sale so i will grab them.... also taking extra iron supplements(which also have extra folate, b6, and b12 apparently!!)
havent been feeling sick or anything on them(though have been feeling :( not from them i am thinking.)

[Rianna]

I was taking Elevit but noticed they don't have iodine in them and as I probably don't get much in my diet, I switched to Blackmore's Pregnancy Gold.

[Vespera]

Elevit for me - been a bit slack so that is changing NOW!!

[MrsX]

I didnt end up getting the Elevit, picked up some Blackmores Gold when I did the shopping today. They are HUGE :eek:

[~Kristin~]

Elevit here too. Still taking it while BFing. :thumbsup:

[mumofcaleb]

I take the Blackmores pregnancy and breastfeeding as well.

Me too

[salt water]

I'm taking the Cenovis ones - started taking them in October 2005 and still taking them today :thumbsup:

[Hoping]

I'm taking Blackmores as well. I noticed at the chemist that they are selling 180 capsule bottle for $49.95, which is pretty cheap compared with buying 3 lots of the 60 capsules. I like the fact that the Blackmores have iodine in them too, although they are massive pills to swallow!!

I'm also taking folate and calcium tablets as I am lactose intolerant.

[Harmony83]

I am currently taking Elevit! The Blackmores ones sound huge, I am struggling swallowing the Elevit, without it coming back up!

[kaybee]

I'm taking elevit too and having the same problems getting them down!! I've never been good at swallowing tablets! Especially now having queasy ms!

[MrsX]

Question for you all. The Blackmores says take 2 tablets daily, does that mean one twice a day or 2 at once?

[EcstaticEm]

Cenovis preg and breastfeeding for me. So far, they have not made me :barf: which blackmores did.

[Moops]

I've started taking calcium supplements cos im lactose intolerant. This might sound strange but i wonder how producing milk is going to affect my body!

[Lozie]

i'm taking blackmores preg gold it was on special 27 bucks for 140 of them good value i think, took them with the boys too!:thumbsup:

[tally]

I'm taking Elevit, the rest make me :barf:



:D :D

[loulou_cat]

I am taking Blackmores Folic Acid and a calcium supplement. I have a serious medical condition which means I can't take any vitamins with Iodine or Iron. No pregnancy multi's for me!
