Our midwife said are you taking the recommended supplements. I don't think it's a con. Sadly I saw a stat that 24% of pregnant women don't take folic while trying to conceive or during the first trimester. I'm no expert but doing as told by midwife and making sure my wife takes them throughout

Or eat a healthy diet when pregnant and avoid these blatant marketing cons

Folic acid supplements are available on prescription and recommended by the NHS and DoH. Ideally you need to take them before you get pregnant. Products like these are not a complete marketing con.
Of course it is better to get your vitamins and minerals from a healthy balanced diet however it is almost impossible to obtain the recommended amounts of folic acid from food.

Hot deal. I am 8 months pregnant and would have stocked up had I not caught the Boots Centrum glitch :smiley:
These are also suitable for breastfeeding.

Folic acid is not for the benefit of the woman but is for the child.
Current research indicates that it will only be of benefit before getting pregnant.

They are spoiling women these days. Before we know where we are women will be refusing to go down to the river to wash the clothes.

Except these supplements benefit the child more than the mother.
