Yep vomiting and felt sick so now taking vitamin d
I did when I was pregnant as I have Spina Bifida & there is a risk of baby getting it if you don't take Folic Acid.
@Jess and it was definitely the folic acid and not just pregnancy making you sick ?
@Molly Sapsed and it was definitely the folic acid and not just pregnancy making you sick ?
@Kelly it was something in the pregnicare that was making me sick
I been taking healthy vitamins they give it has folic acid, vitamin d etc and it makes me so sick. I hate taking it but I been told I have to take it 😭
@Lilima oh no I’m now nervous to start taking it 🙈
@Kelly don’t be. I never been good with any medication tbh
I was taking pregnacare (includes folic acid) but recently started taking a gummy vitamin instead including folic acid, and sometimes I take a folic acid only gummy. Not sure if it’s a coincidence but my nausea has gradually went away since I stopped taking pregnacare. The folic acid on its own has had no side effects at all and I’ve been taking it since when we first started trying for a baby :)
@Sara I’ve got the folic acid and vitamin d combo tablets from boots. Maybe I will be okay then and not go for any pregnacare vitamins
I’ve just moved to the bassets pregnancy gummy with omega 3 and seem to be fine and nicer than the big pregnacare tablets
@Kelly yeah, my midwife told me to just stop taking pregnacare so I just got separate vitamins with no folic acid and was fine from then (apart from the standard morning sickness I got) It’s very common for folic acid to make you feel sick, it’s the main side effect of it x
Definitely don’t take folic on an empty stomach — really kicks the nausea into gear if you do
Yup!! Vomiting and nausea. Every day, 24/7.
