Hi thought I'd add my 2c worth seeing as a lot seem to be having negative experiences with Elevit, which is a shame.

I've been taking it for probably 5 months now, started a month before I was pregnant.

For me, I love it, I have no side effects and I have great energy. Sure it does cost lots, but I like being able to take one pill for all my iron and folate needs instead of having to get topup pills for iron etc.

So I guess everyone has to experiment with what brand suits them..

Hi everyone,

I'm also a newbie (this is my first post!). I'm 16 weeks pregnant and have just survived the most awful morning sickness (make that 24/7 sickness) period since around the 5 week mark. I haven't been able to eat much of anything the whole time, and have lost a lot of weight, but luckily I could take my Elevits in the morning and this was recommended by my doctor, specialist and midwife. They told me that some of the other supermarket brands don't actually contain what they say they contain (ie much lower dosages etc).

It made me feel a lot better knowing that baby was still getting what he/she needed when I wasn't eating very well...

I'm planning to keep taking them right through the pregnancy.

Just shows that we are all so different!

Hi all, I spoke to my GP re this as I had been trying to take multivitamins as well but got stomach pains and bright yellow pee. He advised that I was probably stressing my body out by having to many vitamins. Your body is really working hard to get rid of your wastes as well as the babies without having to cope with excess vitamins. He suggested I just take Folic acid and fish oil later on.

I guess it depends on your own choice.

That's really weird. It's not uncommon to have a reaction to supplements though. What about just sticking to good old vegies and perhaps taking an iron suppliment? I take the Blackmores supplements.
