I just took Folic acid while TTC and until about 19 weeks (when the bottle ran out) - cheap as chips on prescription from the GP. I got given some of that Thompsons Pregnancy multi but couldnt swallow it without puking until a couple of weeks ago and even now am just taking it when I remember - I figure I eat pretty well so no real need. So far no issues with iron etc (am now 29 weeks).]]> Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:50:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=791868&title=what-multi-are-you-on#791868 <![CDATA[what multi are you on? : I was on Elevit for about a week...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=790852&title=what-multi-are-you-on#790852 Author: HoneybunsMa

I was on Elevit for about a week but as my MW pointed out to me if you have a healthy diet then you shouldn't need to take one.

I am not a meat eater, well I eat chix and fish and was not overly concerned about my diet, my bloods were always great, and the placenta when delivered was a healthy size and looked like it would have continued feeding DD for another 2weeks or so. So not necessary imo

I was on Elevit until last week when the box ran out. They made me feel sick and I have a couple of friends with babies who both said it's a rip off. A good friend who's a Dr said that a lot of Elevit babies she's come across are quite big at birth - although she's not sure it's strictly down to Elevit as such but is kind of interesting.

Am now just on normal old folic acid and would consider a multi if the mw suggests it but dont see the need unless I'm lacking in something]]> Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:41:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=790698&title=what-multi-are-you-on#790698 <![CDATA[what multi are you on? : I&#039;m not on anything now....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=790440&title=what-multi-are-you-on#790440 Author: RinTinTin

I'm not on anything now. I also found at the beginning that it was the multi vits I was taking that was causing my MS because I already had all the stuff I needed from my healthy diet. SO my body couldn't process the extras I was putting in so I just ended up throwing them back up.

I was taking the Go Healthy pregnancy multi, and their folic acid (which is in a capsule so really easy to take, much better than the cheap crappy ones I'd had before that fell apart).

Then I switched to Elevit (which I'd bought before getting pregnant), and really wish I hadn't. I won't be finishing the box and Dh is getting me more of the Go Healthy ones. I felt great, my hair and nails were fantastic, and they were easy to take. I haven't been taking my multis much (bad me!) while I get around to getting more because the Elevit annoys me so much.]]> Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:44:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=789927&title=what-multi-are-you-on#789927 <![CDATA[what multi are you on? : I&#039;m also taking Blackmores...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=789145&title=what-multi-are-you-on#789145 Author: Inlove28

I took Solgar Prenatal Nutrient Tablets when I was pregnant & breastfeeding. They were great and much cheaper than elevit.

Got them from a health shop following advice from the shop assistant.. They recommended them over other ones in the shop.

I switched from Elevit to Blackmores as was recommended by my herbalist. She told me Elevit's a bit flakey. Don't quite know what she meant but she's the expert! I also take folic acid as there's not enough in Blackmores plus capsules of fish oil each day on top of what's already in Blackmores as I'm trying to control my eczema. ]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:22:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=788861&title=what-multi-are-you-on#788861 <![CDATA[what multi are you on? : I take radiance multi for pregnancy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=788625&title=what-multi-are-you-on#788625 Author: LILLIS

Midwives have really different opinions don't they?

I took elevit until the second box finished, and then switched to Blackmores Preg/BF gold because its so much cheaper. Have been on iron too because my iron levels dropped really low at about 27 weeks.

Am a bit slacker at taking them regularly now- its only 2 weeks to go and I don't want to have to buy any more!]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 09:58:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=788570&title=what-multi-are-you-on#788570 <![CDATA[what multi are you on? : my mw said it&#039;s recommended...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=788505&title=what-multi-are-you-on#788505 Author: ElfsMum

I was taking Elevit prior to conception and up until I was about 30 weeks pregnant. Mainly for the Folic acid levels and also because it is just 1 tablet a day, easy! Then I changed to the Cenovis Pregnancy and BF formula becasue it was cheaper than Elevit and cos I didnt need the same levels of Folic acid by then.

Once thats all finished I will just go back to a normal womans multi until we decide to TTC again and then I'll go back on Elevit ]]> Sun, 27 Sep 2009 23:40:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=788389&title=what-multi-are-you-on#788389 <![CDATA[what multi are you on? : I take blackmores pregnancy and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29010&PID=788341&title=what-multi-are-you-on#788341 Author: Emmi_

I take elevit but the box is nearly finished, so thought i would try a new brand of pregnancy multi.

Why?

i also take salmon oil so don't need one with fish oil added.
