Does anyone know if us preggy chicks take Berrocca?
For some unknown reason I woke up this morning at 4am and couldn't go back to sleep. Decided to have a "mental heatlh day" from work 
I've a big girls night out tomorrow and we've all been looking forward to it for months! I don't wanna pike on them because I'm too tired

| i would check as maybe because it is a high dosage of vitamins, that could be a prob. If you read the label it should say. |

Maybe pop into a health shop like Health 2000 or Hardys and ask them - they will be able to recommend an alternative pick-me-up if Berocca isn't safe. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I had berrocca with both of my pregnancies and it didn't do any harm to my babies. ------------- Kelly, mother to 4 wonderful children. http://lilypie.com">

I took a berrocca most mornings while preggo, helped me get through the work day without V and it also helped me feel better as I couldn't eat properly with hideous morning sickness ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Great news! My midwife said that berrocca is fine as they are water soluble vitamins and the body will just “extract” what it needs. I hate the taste of red bull and V, so really wasn’t looking forward to that!
Now I’ll be able to keep my eyes open past 9pm for my big girls night out *puts on party hat* or my “retirement from the dance floor” as my mates are calling it LOL Have a good weekend ladies  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

thats good to hear, i wondered if us preg people could have berrocca with both my last pregnancies and never asked about it, so just didnt take it, but knowing that its fine i might have some myself, might help with my energy...

| If you read V and Red bull, you shouldn't drink them while pregnant anyway. However, lots of people do and kids turn out fine! |

It's kind of a contradiction - they tell you that you can have coffee (in small amounts) then they tell you that V has the same caffeine as a cup of coffee and not to have it. Who knows what to believe  ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

OK so I had the half glass or berrocca and it seemed to have a triple effect! I was still buzzing at 4am when we got home and couldn't sleep! When I woke up (after just a few hours sleep) I felt like I had the worst ever hangover! even tho I was only drinking bottles of water all night!!! Ah well - we all had a great night out, but I don't think I'll be taking the berrocca again in a hurry! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Glad to hear you had a good night! I don't drink at all, and even then the morning after always sucks... ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
