Vitamin help.
Hi ladies we are ttc at the end of january but I was wondering what vitamins we should take?
Obv Folic Acid (going out to get it tomorrow.) I have heard that Zinc is good for DF to take.
Anything else I should be taking?
I am trying to eat healthily and eat fruit and veg but having a 2 (nearly 3) year old to run after sometimes means I dont always eat right.

Do you still take the vitamins after you have conceived? obv FA has to be taken up to 12/13 weeks but is everything else in them ok to take til then and beyond?
So true mj1986! I make sure she eats really well and then forget about me lol!!

Saying that, my consultant (i had an ectopic in september) said he advises people against vitamin suppliments as you should aim to get all you need from food and if you have a balance you could exceed your RDA if take a suppliment.
That said I still take my vitamin as can't run the risk re folica acid! x x
As for when you do fall pg, those clever Pregnacare people have got that covered too!
I take Multibionta, Tesco's Folic Acid and Tesco Omega 3. Oh takes Omega 3 and Multibionta.
Remember, don't be afraid of using own-brand vits and supps as the majority of time you're paying for the brand-name and the ingredients are the same.
Good luck
