I’ve very recently just found out I’m pregnant with baby number 3, I had my second November just gone. Apparently this pregnancy is high risk.
I went to the pharmacy to get don’t vitamins and got these.(picture below)
The woman behind the counter said I can’t take them if I’m breast feeding. My daughter is fed breast and bottle. I’ve reached out to my health visitor and asked for her advice because the pharmacist doesn’t know about my pregnancy and how long ago I had my last. I checked online to see if it said I couldn’t and it said it’s safe to breastfeed?
My boobs are in agony because I haven’t fed this morning or yesterday. Has anyone taken these and still breastfed?
I’m not sure if it’s safe to do so and I don’t think how close together my pregnancies are have anything to do with the reason why I can’t bf and take these tablets. Can anyone help?
