I used Pregnacare since the beginning of my pregnancy and I didn't have any side effects.Read more
My iron level was always high while I used it.
I switched to the Pregnacare PLUS as it contains Omega 3 that is important for the brain development.
As a nutritionist, I am very careful of the composition and I was pleased to see that it didn't contain vitamin A as other pregnancy products do. Vitamin A shouldn't be given as a supplement to a pregnant women, it can be harmful to the baby. - Strengths:

I thoroughly enjoy taking these vitamins, as they give me peace of mind, knowing that they contain everything both myself and my baby need for the pregnancy, and overall development. It is of the highest priority to ensure that the tablets are taken, and these are high-quality as well, so you know you can trust you are getting everything you need. However, they are very expensive, at a time when you are spending a lot of money, preparing for a child. - Strengths:

I took these everyday with my first pregnancy and am again with my second. Midwife advised me to take them as they have everything you and your little one need . With my second I went out and bought them soon as I found out I was pregnant . Wouldn't go without them now they are great. - Strengths:

A good balance of the required vitamins and minerals for pregnancy but they are very expensive in comparison to o4her brands. Tablets are quite large so can get stuck when swallowing. Also have a funny taste/smell - Strengths:

I was originally taking folic acid and vitamin D separately but then I was given these at my 12 week scan in a Bounty bag. They have all the vitamins I need without making me feel sick like other brands. They are expensive but worth it to know that I am taking care of the baby and myself. - Strengths:

Pregnancy vitamins do as they say on the tin all the vitamins mum and baby need. Only down sides they are quite big and can leave a aftertaste. Nothing else to add. - Strengths:

I was taking trying to conceive vitamins before I brought these from amazon. Although slightly expensive they are worth it as it has everything mum and baby need. Midwife said that my sons umbilical cord was one of the thickest she'd seen before, she said it was good for baby so I'm assuming these little vitamins had something to do with it aswell as nutrition. They are large and sometimes I used to struggle to swallow them with water which is also when I would get a weird taste from them. I also get a handful of sample packs in my bounty pack which was great as these can sometimes get expensive.Read more - Strengths:

When first finding out I was pregnant I was told you need to take folic acid, but my midwife recommended pregnacare original because it has so many benefits and helps give baby the best possible start. Though you can't tell a difference when taking them, I trust they were giving me and my baby all the goodness we needed. However these were not the easiest pill to swallow and it is quite big, and has a rather unpleasant taste and smell. But with each pregnancy I would 100% take these again.Read more - Strengths:

In my first pregnancy I took a folic acid supplement but was recommended these by a friend for my second pregnancy. I have definitely noticed a boost in my energy levels since taking them! They have helped me to feel less lethargic and I feel the condition of my skin has improved too. The size of the tablet is quite large so if you have difficulty taking medication I would be wary. I have also found that you need to take these tablets on a full stomach (which can be hard if you can’t keep food down due to pregnancy sickness!) I will continue to take these through my pregnancy.Read more - Strengths:

Used pregnacare throughout my whole pregnancy and found I've feel great and full of energy. Negatives are that packs are slightly expensive and tablets are quite large which can be difficult to swallow is suffering with morning sickness. - Strengths:

Product does what it is it will do. I find these tablets to be good. The only flaw is the size of the tablets and the price is quite high compared to the own branded products such as boots. During my first trimester I couldn't take these due to my poor gag reflex and until my morning sickness inproved, which was not until the end of the second trimester did I feel I could take these every night. I also find my heart burn gets worse after but that could just be a standard pregnancy symptom.Read more - Strengths:

As recommended by GP and Midwife I discovered pregnacare, and was assured that it’s good enough to take during pregnancy. Although I have to take extra supplements for low iron deficiency, I have been getting what is required from this all in one tablet.Read more
Only downside for me is the sizing of the tablet, it’s too big and isn’t pleasing to swallow.
I will admit I sometimes forget to take it and those days I do, I can feel a difference. Extra Tiredness and lack of energy. Hair and nails are looking fab , don’t know if it is because of the tablet or just pregnancy in general!
Some reviewers and people I know have said they experience sickness from this, luckily I have not had any sickness with this :) - Strengths:

As a pregnant lady who suffers with a crippling fear that I am some how not providing my baby with the best nutrients and vitamins (especially when cravings have you living on jelly and cereal); taking these supplements every day helped ease my mind and made me feel like I was going right by my fetus.However, during a rather nasty month of continuous nausea, I was left resenting the staggeringly expensive amount I'd forked out for tablets that sadly wound up in my toilet before they could do my baby any good. Now that I am past this unpleasant stage, I am back on these tablets; but during that period I took a cheaper, supermarket brand alternative, and honestly they were just as good.Read more - Strengths:

Although I love the idea of taking vitamins regularly throughout pregnancy, I found taking these tablets coupled with morning sickness a really hard task. The size of them made my gag reflex kick into action and I’ve had to switch to smaller own brand alternatives. - Strengths:

These vitamin pills are very big and don't taste nice. I also would prefer to take them when I get up in the morning rather than trying to remember to have them with my main meal in the evening. It's too easy for me to forget, whereas if I forget to take them in the morning I still have the rest of the day to remember. I do like the day of the week packets though because with another brand that were a tub of pills, I couldn't always remember if I had taken my vitamins that day or not.Read more - Strengths:

I found these tablets great as you have everything you need for pregnancy within one tablet. The only difficulty I personally had was when I had morning sickness -for 20 weeks!- I struggled to take these as they were so big and made me heave trying to take the tablet. Will continue to take the next step tablets when baby is here. - Strengths:
