Pregnacare!!

[nlz2468]

Hi ladies!

Just a quick question really regarding the Vitabiotics Pregnacare when did you start taking them?

I have been taking Folic Acid and Baby aspirin (as advised by my consultant)
since finding out i was pregnant at 4 weeks and i am now just over 12 weeks.

I heard you can stop taking the Folic Acid after first 3 months of pregnancy but some woman still carry on taking it throughout their pregnancy.

Ive been thinking and want to take more vits so i thought about taking pregnacare after the 1st trimester i like the sound of it being packed full of nutrients and essental vitamins!

Can i start taking it after the first tri?

Yes you can just be warned some women find they can make them constipated due to the iron content

You could take them from the beginning. I did until I found out that they make me more sick. I would however then not take the Folic Acid as well as Pregnacare has that already incorporated. xxx

I started taking mine when TTC, and will take them until i'm 12 weeks as instructions state. Don't want to take them after that time as constipation can be a bit of an issue lol!

I take the pregnacare conception from the moment I start trying then pregnacare all the way thru my pregnancy x

I found the Santagen mother to be easier on the stomach than pregnacare. Its also got folic acid included.

I agree, pregnancare did not agree with me at all, i think sanatogen is much better on the tummy movements!

I have been taking pregnacare, folic acid and vitamin B6 since TTC, ive had no problems with them. I will be continuing pregnacare throughout my pregnancy and during breastfeeding but will stop the extra folic acid i take at 12 weeks, not sure what im gona do bout the B6 yet! You can start taking pregnancare at any point during your pregnancy. I like it because its full of everything essential your baby needs and because my diet is so crap at the moment i reckon im hardly taking any goodness in so the pregnacare helps with this! xx

I am taking pregnacare plus with the additional omega 3 capsules. Being a vegetarian people keep warning me about my iron intake. I hate it when people presume they know more about my diet than I do when I've been vegetarian all my
Life! But yes, I will probably continue to take them throughout my pregnancy just to be on the safe side. They are expensive though!

Yes your right they are expensive, the cheapest place ive got them from was Asda.....then when i was in Tesco last week they did 3 for 2 on all multivitamins which included pregnancare so i stocked up!!! Fab deal!!

I just cant stop eating Junk food LOL! When DH says he wants me to start eating healthier and is going to sort my diet out for me i reply back saying 'well i take pregnacare and that has everything i need for bubs' Thats not the right answer i know but it will do me for now!!! I try and get my 5 a day which is generally just fruit as i can stand vegetables at the mo, well only potatoes, and only in chip form of course...covered in gravy or curry sauce! mmmmmmmmm......... LOL! xx

LOL!! just the smell of a chip shop makes me hungry but then again some days the smell of even my favourite foods puts me right off! I try to eat as much fruit and veg as i can and i love fresh orange too and a glass of milk! I will defo be taking a trip to asda they have 3 for £10 on pregnacare x

 

[Flowerbaby]

Awww thats a great deal! Think i might pop by and get some as i only have 2 months supply left. Thanks for that chick xx

 

[SabrinaKat]

I take pregnacare plus extra iron -- loving the constipation, but at least, it's regular?!

 

[nlz2468]

I hear the constipation is a side effect of taking the pregnacare! What a bummer! But least you know its doing the trick might have to take more prunes to sort the constipation problem out x

I'm taking folic acid and found Pregnacare makes my MS work. Gonna re-start taking it once my MS disappears! X

I had no idea it could make MS worse! I am felling sick 24/7 so may switch to just folic acid for a while and see if it helps!

Usually I take pregnacare, but it has to be taken on a full stomach, so I have a supply of back up folic acid tablets to take if I cant eat any dinner!

I still have MS but it's not as bad when I don't take the Pregnacare. I'm trying to eat more fruit and veg in the meantime.
Def take it on a full stomach, I don't know how I would have felt if I didn't! Lol! Xx
