I was advised yesterday from my midwife wt my 16 week app to take a pregnancy multi vitamin which you can get pharmacy 😊 especially for the vitamin D x

The pregnacare range have ones that you can take throughout pregnancy after the first 12 weeeks, I’ve been taking them although not the most enjoyable!

You can keep taking them. I asked my midwife yesterday.

My midwife told me to keep taking multivitamins with folic acid until the end of pregnancy

You can try procieve trimester 2

Pregnacare is a low quality supplement as it has the synthetic form of many nutrients, contains a cheap form of iron at a high dose which can lead to constipation and nausea, contains many binders / fillers which you want to avoid and finally it’s missing some key nutrients (or those it does include is in low doses). I did a lot of research on this and I’d recommend taking Proceive, which has the active form of many vitamins (e.g. Methylfolate which is the active form of Folic Acid and better absorbed by the body). I’d take it along with Nordic Naturals pre natal DHA.
