Ovultine ... random question

[minxies]

girls i bought some ovultine to help me get to sleep, its full of vitamins and is meant to be really good for you however, one of the highest vitamin content is vitamin A which i know is harmful, but it also contains folic acid so im confused whether im allowed to drink it or not?

 

[minxies]

I was just about to say NO hun, i love this drink and I am missing it, but its so worth it. I keep finding different things each day I shouldn't be eating and drinking xx

Better to be safe than sorry hun. Try just hot milk and honey, (honey is perfectly safe as long as its pasteurised and not collected from the wild by you) and honey also contains an amazing natural antibiotic so can only do us good with winter coming xxxxxxxxx

Keep it until after the birth (Obviously if the date allows) always good for iron levels x

I've been drinking hot chocolate loads. Plus my one cup of tea a day.

The caffeine thing is a bitch.

You are allowed to have some caffeine, just not overdo it, up to 200mg is the recommended limit. Though even the research on it is a bit shady IMO.

Hot chocolate has minimal amounts of caffeine in it, according to Wikipedia it has 9mg per cup. Probably less than your average chocolate bar.

Ps read on the ovaltine website that one cup gives you 1/4 of your recommended vitamin a requirement so as long as you don't have a zillion cups it should be fine.

I notice on lager cans etc they warn against having it in pregnancy, its just a pic of a pregnant woman with a line thru it, why can't they do that on normal foodstuffs like liver and stuff? It would make shopping so much bloomin easier xxxxxxxx

My midife told me not to worry about drinking my cups of tea and tbh i do think its a bit over the top i mean i drank loads of cups of tea throughout my 3 previous pregnancies and nothing bad happened, my midife just said maybe you could try a decaff tea in the afternoons to help me sleep at night better but otherwise she really wasnt worried about me drinking tea.
