  • I really liked elevit from the few that I tried. I never had any bad symptoms with it and they kept all my levels up really well during pregnancy.


  • Definitely Elevit. I tried few others and got sick with the taste or smell of it. I also had some iron and magnesium tablets.


  • I dunno. there seems to be supplements for every darn thing nowadays. I don’t know how the species has survived until now LOL Eat healthily, exercise, be happy, talk to your baby as it is growing and you will be swell xx


  • There’s this new Elevit tablet which also helps with morning sickness. I think its a smaller tablet too so its easier to swallow.


  • I took Elevit with my first two and it actually made me quite a bit sick but death because of how much everyone says it’s good but third time round I tried blackmores vitamins and they were amazing, really made me feel good.


  • Not to sure but I hope other mums can help you. Good luck.


  • It varies. I could take the blackmore’s ones fine. but the elevit ones made me feel queasy. I also took mine before bed so if I was to start feeling sick I would hopefully sleep through it.


  • im lactose intolerant so couldn’t take a lot of the vitamins out there. my dr said the main ones are vitamin d and folic acid:)


  • i took iron vitamin c and folic acid


  • Folic acid is the only one I took,


  • what did you take in the end?


  • What did you end up taking?


  • find one you like and can afford – I only used them after to help with the breastfeeding


  • What did you end up choosing?


  • Folate is what we using for all 6 pregnancies


  • Some really good suggestions below.


  • I think Elevit stands out from the rest.


  • Zycia Natal Nutrients or Elevit or Blackmores you can use
    Folate is what I used in all my pregnancies


  • I used Elevit as well throughout my pregnancy and will do so again.


  • 1st pregnancy I used Elevit, this time I’m using Blackmores, but I also have to take an extra iron supplement. Just check the levels against each other. Think the main 3 nutrients u need are Folate, Iron and Iodine?
