Pregnacare or Folic Acid?

[Jayceesmumma]

Which is best? Pregnacare tablets which u take thruout ttc pregnancy and BF (u can start/stop at any time) or just Folic Acid up to 12-13 weeks?
Pregnacare has Folic Acid in it too.
Im debating....

I take folic as I can't bear the thought of swallowing that big horse tablet pregnacare, it's huge!!

I started on Pregnacare because I don't have a particularly balanced diet. Providing you eat healthily Folic Acid alone is fine.

I haven't decided if I'm going to keep taking it after 12/13 weeks.

Yeah i had that with Jaycee.. just slight nausea, nothing major.. strange..
I think im gonna go with pregnacare.. im not sure if ill take it past 12-13 weeks coz i dont want bby to be dependant on it if u know what i mean.. i wanna be able to eat the right things for it!

I have been taking Pregnacare since before pg, but it makes me burp and fart loads - very embarrassing.

I eat a healthy balanced diet anyway so may stop in a couple of weeks and see if that helps my digestive system calm down.

Pregnacare is a bit of a pain as you must take with loads of food, and I'm not very good at remembering (brain's turned to mush since i got pregnant!)

Yeah it is annoying taking it with food! Especially when theres a day when you just dont want to eat coz u feel sicky!
