I have got my bfp now so I am wanting to start a multi-vitamin. For previous pregnancies I had the Swisse Pregnancy+ Ultivite but it ended up giving me pretty bad indigestion and I struggled to keep taking it. I am hoping to find something in gel cap form so that I wont have any trouble with swallowing it. What is everyone else taking/or planning to take?

Thanks so much for your advice x

I'm taking Blackmores pregnancy and breastfeeding. In previous pregnancies I used Elivit but it has increased in price and now costs a fortune. Blackmores is two gel caps a day. With Elivit they would repeat on me but I find the Blackmores sits well in my stomach even with no food.

I have always taken the blackmores ones. I don't think they caused indigestion although I did get it with my boys, especially DS2 but I think that was just from pregnancy as I still took them when BFing.

Chemist warehouse often has the 180pack on sale for about $30.

Congrats :). I started taking Blackmores but it gave me terrible stomach cramps and diarrhoea. I weaned off and on a few times but it just didn't agree with me. That's no help really but just putting it out there lol. I guess just don't spend a fortune on it until you know it's OK for you :)
