Pregnancy vitamin recommendations

I have been taking the Pregnacare max vitamins which contains a tablet for omega 3. Whenever I take it i find that it repeats on me all day long. I’ve tried having it before and with food but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. I really cannot stand that fish oil taste repeating on me.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any recommendations of good pregnancy vitamins?

Aren’t you only meant to take them up to 12 weeks anyway? I never took any with my son and I’ve not took them this time😂 everything’s been fine the only thing ive taken is folic acid for a couple of weeks because I had a 4 month supply for a folate deficiency

I take same pregnacare max and I feel same. It makes me feel like I’m more sick. Yesterday I took just folic acid and I didn’t feel terrible like how the other makes me feel

personally I’ve never taken them got recommend it with my son and my midwife said up to 12 weeks but I’ve had hypermesis both times and they never stayed down so I never took them. My son’s perfectly fine there’s nothing wrong with him he’s 15 months now.

Asda pregnancy vitamins are a lot cheaper than big brands but don't think it has fish oil. I have separate omega 3 tablets

I’ve just been taken what the midwife gave me which was pregnacare original and it doesn’t have fish oil they gave me some more yesterday which just looked like basic pregnancy vitamins. Not sure of brand. Just a white tub with green lid. Both have been fine x

I have found that if I have mine before bed I don’t feel as sick with them as I do when I take them through the day.

I’ve bought some Bassetts ones, they are a chewy gummy that has everything in plus omega 3 & you can’t taste the fish at all. I got mine from Amazon. Superdrug do buy one get the 2nd half price. This maybe an option for you.

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (♥️ vinted ♥️). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of £ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.


I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Advice

Hi everyone! I honestly have 0 social queues when it comes to talking to anyone in general. I definitely have a hard time talking to other women and making new friends. I can 100% relate. I just don’t like the idea of texting or meeting up but when I do I’m like “oh this isn’t bad.” Any advice? I also have a hard time getting comfortable and just feeling judged by other women😅 I’m also 19 so maybe making a change in this now will help in the future making mom friends/friends in general. Thanks in advance!

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅
