I suffered with a vitamin d deficiency before I fell pregnant but the dose I was prescribed from the doctors was to high to have whilst being pregnant. So I thought I'd try these ones and they made me feel alot better near enough as good as the stronger ones. They are really good value for money, does exactly what they say they do for you. I would definitely reccomend these. It helped with my morning sickness where I was being sick so much, not eating properly like I shouldve they kept everything topped up.

I took the Pregnacare Plus tablets during my entire pregnancy and I found they were easy to swallow. My son was born healthy, happy and content. I'm not sure whether that was to do with these supplements or my diet. Though I did have low blood iron levels and had to take additional prescribed iron supplements for the last 3 months of my pregnancy. My only issue with these supplements was that they were expensive.

My only reason for being so negative about Pregnacare is they made me quite sick. I found they set me off in a rash and made my stomach really sore, they drained me instead of boosted me.

I bled within a day of starting these and was terrified I'd lose my baby. I stopped bleeding when I stopped taking them. I can't say for sure they were cause but I wouldn't recommend on this basis.
