Just a question these folic acid tablets are really too big for me to take and make me feel sick…

The ones I got were tiny, if you've got big ones could you not speak to the doctor and ask for some small ones? you're better off taking them for your first 12 weeks it prevents spina bifida x

Yeah been told to get some from leigh infirmary there really tiny but I'm going on Monday for a scan so I'd rather go then but don't know if it bad if I don't take them till Monday xx

@chloemcmahon96 for the first 12 weeks its really important to take folic acid I have read x

@ells123 I really hope you can. I can't even take tablets for headache has to be liquid paracetamol xx

@ells123 awww thank you. That's amazing xx

if you don't take them you baby wont get what it needs to grow well the for the first 3 month's and it helps stops spina bifida hun x

@mother_of_humans thank you i just wanted to know if it's okay if I don't take them. Honestly I have been so I'll with this morning sickness for 2 weeks now and I cant take tablets in the first place so having take one everyday is horrible and I dread it. It feels like it stuck in my throat. Everyone has different opinions on them but this is my first so I just want everything be okay x

I got really tiny folic acid tablets frm boots chemist. I mean they were tiny I cud take then wifout water x

@mother_of_humans I have 2 apples 4 strawberries a banana and grapefruit everyday and veg for my tea so I'm getting a least 5 a day apart from today... my mum treated me to fish and chips 😂😂 I am eating healthy but just can't take tablets x

Agree with @mother_of_humans Obviously I would encourage anyone pregnant to take the multivitamins when you can. But I think if your eating well it doesn't do any harm if your not. I also didn't take any at all with my second pregnancy (barely did with my first because it always forgot lol). I had bad sickness & couldn't swallow tablets & if I tried I threw them back up. I have 2 healthy baby boys. When your sickness eases off you can the pregnecare multi vitamins which have everything in.

I done 9 weeks of pure vomiting all day everyday I just assumed it was Morning sickness the minute I stopped taking them I wasn't sick again :)
