    I went straight out after Throwaway_Panther said that and bought some.
    I got The Garden of Life 'Raw' formula. I was taking their 'Multivitamin for Women' once a day. But have now switched to the prenatal.
    It looks quite good (Ithink), but be happy for anyone to have a look and see if they would take anything else.
    Am taking all my supplements to the midwife on Thursday.
    Still taking inositol, have reduced the grams though.
    I've read conflicting things about Inositol and pregnancy, some studies seem to say it helps prevent eearly miscarriages....so I am hopeful that is the case

    Inositol is a worry I have in my mind because I feel it's so new and basically unknown. I would wean off it now but I do not have a gob of hard data to say why, it's just a feeling I have.

    I am an old school simple approach kind of gal. I like any of them that are just 100% of various nutrients that you actually need and not a bunch of random stuff that costs $$ and may not even be safe. Like, I seriously doubt they can cram enough brussel sprout powder into a vitamin capusle that can do any good for you at all. And then additionally things like garlic and ginger and especially the algae, we don't even know that medicinal quantities of those things are safe to eat anyway. I prefer you guys eat a balanced diet and then just top off with a run of the mill basic prenatal to fill any gaps.

    I sent the picture to my midwife, and she said half of the stuff is useless (so your instincts are right atomic)
    She got my Dr to fill a prescription for some regular prenatals, and also wants me to take 5000mcg of folic acid.
    She said that in high risk pregnancies (older mums, previous mc, high BMI), they like women to take extra folic acid, and 800mcg in a prenatal won't cut it.
    So I now have the right stuff, and hopefully this will give buba the best start.

    with the extra folic acid, I had a child with a neural tube defect taking just 800. just be sure after the first trimester that you GRADUALLY wean off at that point, don't just stop taking it (you should wean back to the amount in a prenatal once you are out of the first tri because continuing the higher dose may cause or contribute to your child having asthma if you take it in the third tri)

    That's sad about the neural tube defect
    Is that something that is common knowledge with Folic acid?
    The midwife did say that 5grams is only until week 12

    No, he's fine, just constipated a lot. It's a small NTD luckily for us

    A lot of medical people don't do the weaning. But I believe in it very strongly and recommend it to everyone especially during pregnancy.'

    Yes the link to asthma in the third tri with folic is a known risk https://www.theguardian.com/science/...nancy-research
