Should I be taking anything other than folic acid?

[muffinferon]

As the title says I'm taking 400mcg of folic acid but not sure if or what else I should take. Saw the pregnacare vitamins in tesco that have a few different ones, but not sure if itsjust a con and you'd be cheaper buying anything separately.

Thanks

I take the multi vit pregnancy care with folic acid and omega 3 marine oil. It's meant to help with brain development.

i was recommended to take homepathic vits from helios online - called ante natal forte. they can be digested by yoir body much better than pregnacare. - my pee was always bright yellow - so goes straight through you. x

Thanks for the replies guys, I went to the doctor today but wasn't offered any bits on prescription. I'll have a look in boots or that and see. The doc says folic acid and vitamin d is the 2 that I should be taking vitamins for, but don't know whether to just go for a combined o

the only thing i take is folic acid the rest i gain from fruit and veg i ram down my throat. Whatever it is my nails are fab but skin is feeling a little dry.

I know there are some vitamin tablets to take but if i can get the nutriants naturally i will.

I asked both GP and MW and both said folic acid is most important, almost dismissed vitamins really.

folic acid & multivitamins, you get free prescriptions when pregnant, so i'd try getting something off the gp!

if we was meant to take more then folic acid tabs the dr's would have told us all

pregnacare is recommended by doctors, my mum is a midwife/distict nurse and she said they are biliiant as they suppliment all your vitamins.
