Vitamins

I still take mine and have to top up with iron too. I'd still take them and then take some breastfeeding vitamins after baby is here. That's if you are planning to BF. Or just take some that are for the postnatal period.

I was told not to continue folic acid since the twelfth week.. doc said no need for prenatals too cus it was unnecessary and didn’t need to spend on them tbh but sometimes I do feel dizzy so may go and ask them about my iron levels

I’ve carried on taking my daily Pregnacare vitamins, it says they can be taken throughout pregnancy and I figure every little helps! Didn’t stop me from getting low iron though 😂 x

Any nutrients in our body go to baby first so for you, more than baby it's good to take multivitamins. My midwife always checks that I take vitamin D so I try to make sure I at least always take that.

I kept taking them just cause some days I wouldn't have the best diet also the baby leaches vitamins from mum so I see it as keeping me topped up. The body usually disposes of extra vitamins if it csnt absorb anymore so it wont hurt to take them

I still take pregnancy multi vitamins given to me free by the midwife and take folic acid, your body won’t absorb any more than you need so no harm taking them, my folate level goes low so that’s why I’m still prescribed folic acid x

Thanks girls i shall carry on taking them!

I’m still taking mine. I have a lot of allergies and a limited diet so my dietician advised I continue them through the pregnancy. I do forgot on occasion but I try to take them daily when I remember!
