Advice on prenatal vitamins please.....
G/c from planning
Just wondering if you lovely ladies could give me some advice on prenatal vitamins?
Firstly, is any particular brand better. I've been looking at sanatogen and pregnacare so far?
Secondly, I'm absolutely terrible at swallowing tablets so does anyone know if any particular brand is smaller than others and/or easier to swallow?
Thanks a lot

Thanks for your reply. Are both brands as big as each other? Are either ones capsules, which are slightly easier to swallow? I'm such a baby!!! hehe
I've used Pregnacare and Tommy's and unfortunately both are big tablets.
Its worth getting them when Boots do their 3 for 2 offers!!
I think one of the reasons you shouldn't take normal vitamins is they usually contain vitamin A which we shouldn't have too much of when pregnant or trying, can't remember why though, i'm useless.
The men tablets contain zinc and selenium which are good for the swimmers!
Goonie, thanks for the info, the sanatogen ones i got today are quite big but gonna try my best, i've got to get over this tablet thing one day i guess!
Good luck x
I am also on Pregnacare Conception and although they are large, they are one of the few supplements that contain Iodine which is vital for foetal brain development. I originally started on the Boots mummy to be tablets but they didn't contain Iodine or Selenium (another important mineral).
My OH has just been taking boots all in one vit and mineral which includes folic acid and zinc.
Have only been on them a month so fingers crossed they help!
Good luck x
cheers guys
Congrats on your BFP Donnat2004, great news
