Make sure you get one with extra folic acid. It is better to take a multivitamin as you are going through more now. Even if you eat healthy it can be difficult to get all of the needed vitamins.

I have been prescribed folic acid and iron combined in one pill by my GP and was told that it was not neccassary to take anything other than this.

There’s a whole lot of benefit to taking vitamins. Actually, medical opinion states that prenatal vitamins should actually be started BEFORE a woman gets pregnant. There’s a special vitamin, Folic acid, that is a MUST, absolutely necessary for the 1st part of pregnancy. It’s because of a lack of this vitamin that many women give birth to babies with spinal cord defects….these babies usually dont last long. Another requirement for pregnancy is iron. Your baby will be making RBCs which require increased iron intake. The best way to get the appropriate doses of everything is to take prenatal vitamins.

Iva heard that a bottle of gin and a hot bath does the trick

You should take folic acid 1 mg per day in the first trimester and then ferrous tablets to the term, I mean end of the pregnancy. Even if you have healthy and enough food to eat, it is recommended to follow the above-mentioned medicine to fulfill your and your baby’s essential needs.

I’ve heard that you should take an omega-3 supplement with pregnancy, since you need that good fat for the baby’s development.
