Vitamins

[kim88]

So iv worked out that when I take my pregnacare vitamins I feel so sick! I have forgotten to take them the last 2 days and felt fine, took them this morning and now I feel so sick! Has anyone else found this?
I like to take them because I feel I probably don't get all the vitamins I need through food alone but I'm thinking of just taking what I need for now. Apart from folic acid is there anything else I should definitely take xx

Pregnacare are well known for making you feel sick, no idea why?! I have read loads of reviews on them and threads on here about that being a common side effect.

Try boots own pregnancy/breastfeeding vits, they have ginger in them so help with morning sickness, I have been taking them whole way through. Usually on 3 for 2 as well.

Folic acid and vit D is all I've been told I have to take, so if the others arent working for you! X

I think you are supposed to take them with your biggest meal of the day? I have stuck to this/ taking before bed as its usually more convenient.

Like Tigger said you only actually need folic acid (until 12 weeks) and vitamin D- my dr actually advised against pregnancy multivitamins because of the side-effects- the last thing you need in Tri 1 is to feel even sicker than you already would

I was also told you only need to take folic acid and vitD. However, because I wasn't eating what I should have been because of the sickness, I felt I needed a multivitamin.

Maybe try taking it at a different time of day? Maybe before bed, or at lunch time? Also, as other have said, try a different btand too.
