Is anyone else not taking...

[shootingstar22]

Pregnancy vitamins!? All I have taken am taking is folic acid. My widwife didn't suggest I take anything else, so I haven't! No worrying that I should.

My friend only took folic as her midwife said that she should be getting everyting she needs through her food, but if she needed anything else then hey would let the blood tests decide.

I think you only need to take folic acid until about 12 weeks, after that it's not necessary.

I don't suppose taking vitamins is essential if you're eating well. I wish I hadn't started, hubby is being very regimental about it and they make me wretch every night

If you're worried then talk to doctor/midwife, but not every pregnant woman in the world takes them, and I'm sure it's not that big a deal!

I bought some pregnacare, but to be honest I never, ever remember to take it!! As long as your diet is okay, it will all be fine i'm sure xx

I'm the same... stopped the folic acid after 12 weeks, took pregnancy multi vitamins for about 3 weeks to make me feel a tad better and give me an added boost, and then started to forget to take them! Haven't taken any for the last 5 weeks or so easily! I wouldn't worry about it to be honest. As long as you feel fine in yourself, any tests you have will come up with anything you may need a supplement for. I only took the multi vits cos I had no energy whatsoever! I didn't even want to get out of bed to go to the doctor even! Am fine now though. But seriously - don't cause yourself added worry or stress. There really is no need xxx

Not taken anything since I found out whatsoever. Don think it necessary personally! X

Don't worry, sounds fine to me - just keep a good diet

I kept taking mine,but it has got really patchy as now having trouble swallowing them, seem to have lost the knack! and keep gagging at bedtime when trying, so every 3 days I get there,

I took folic acid until 12 weeks, and have since been taking multivitamins, I do forget sometimes, but I'm not very good at eating fruits so it can't do me any harm having a little vitamin boost.
