Pregnacare anyone?
Hi ladies
I'm currently taking folic acid tablets but just found Pregnacare tablets. They contain folic acid as well as loads of other vitamins and one that "may help stimulate ovulation"
Would it be worth investing in these? Anyone tried them?
Thanks in advance

i don't take pregnacare have been taking tommys which is the same with folic acid and other vitamins and much cheaper - 3 for 2 on at boots at the mo with them as well.. hope this helps x
Although I'm not pg yet, I've been taking pregnacare plus fot the last 3 months. They were 3 for 2 in tesco so worked out pretty cheap but nearly coming to the end of my last packet and not sure whether I'll fork out again unless they're on offer. From what i gather, there are lots of other rival brands that are also very good.
I will say one thing though (and feel like i need to touch wood here!) but I'm a Teacher and i cant tell you how many times i was ill last year, felt like every other week i was getting chest infection/stomach virus etc despite taking multivitamins. Anyway, since I've been taking pregnacare, I've not been ill once!! Alot of the other staff have had chest infections and an awful virus went round school at the end of the last half term which made lots of teachers who normally have a brilliant immunity ill...but i didnt get it! The only thind i can think of is that these tablets are actually making me a healthier person in more ways other than getting my body prepared for a little one!
Infact, I think i've just managed to persuade myself to buy them again when i run out in a couple of weeks! ha ha

I'd definitely recommend them though! x
I've read good things about PregnaCare, although I've actually been taking the Boots version which is pretty much the same...any of them that are similar are worth a try I think. I agree with sallysunflower that I think they give your whole system a boost, they seem to have made me healthier overall as well as preparing my body for a baby with folic acid etc!!.x.
I still take them now and in Morrisons they are currently on offer, just over ??2 for a months supply. Wishing you lots of luck xx
I was always the same with my pill at times but with the vitamins being huge they are harder to swallow, I am not making excuses for myself and would like to get into a routine of taking it to avoid any birth defects etc but whens best to take it? can you take it last thing at nite?

i'm now 9 wks and have to say that i've decided to STOP taking pregnacare.
my only reason is the size of the tablets - they are huge! i was doing ok until i started getting morning sickness, but now i physically can't swallow them. every night i end up in tears because it gets stuck in my throat and i think i'm going to be sick
in the end hubby insisted i switch to a smaller tablet coz it was upsetting him to see me so distressed
i'm now taking sainsbury's own brand folic acid - absolutely tiny tablets
i will probably go back to a multivitamin again when i find one that i can swallow easily
so try to just buy a small pack or a trial pack until you are sure you are happy with the brand
