Folic acid tablets

Has anyone stopped taking their folic acid vitamins because of nausea?

I’m constantly nauseous at the moment but these tablets make it a lot worse - is it bad to stop taking them until the nausea subsides at least a little?

I’m hoping it’ll only last another week or so when I hit my 9 weeks 🥲

I had to stop too as they were making me soo poorly. I switched to folate and these are so much better! Folic acid is transferred into folate in the body. Google it xxx

I take folate from before I got pregnant and now 8 weeks I never had any issues. Make sure you take on a full stomach as any pills can be nasty on empty stomach x

Last pregnancy I stopped taking combined vitamins and just took plain folic and vit d after a while as I realised it was making me sick.

You haven't said if you are taking a combined vitamin tablet but perhaps if you are make that just folic acid ... or folate as suggested above and see how you get on. Make sure to take vitamin d through the whole pregnancy of you can x

I switched to prenatal gummies. Much easier on my stomach

I take mine before bed, just a single folic acid tablet and a single vitD. Taking them in the day is a big no no for me and I have always struggled to take the all-in-one multivitamin tablets 🤢 they make me want to be sick even when I’m not pregnant.

I take my multivitamin (her9, has folate because it’s easier absorbed) last thing before bed after tea to get around the sickness

Thank you everyone!!! I’ll take a look into folate!!! ❤️

Looking for friends

Hey laddies. I’m 27 year olds I’m a mom of 2 girls. I’m currently 3 months pregnant. I want to make some new friends I get bored I realize I don’t have any more friends. I stay in Tennessee. Also I’m a Virgo. Let’s be friends 🥰

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Feeling stupid

I got drunk last night and had unprotected sex he didn’t cum in me but I’m ovulating
And having pain and I’m freaking out

Can I take morning after pill when already ovulating/ ovulated
And is there any safe for breastfeeding

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.

Running mums!

Any other runners on here? Would love to connect ☺️
