I also got supplements from my midwife but they only contain 400mcg folic acid, 10mcg vitamin D and 70mg vitamin C and I take a separate ferrous fumarate tablet at night (210mg). So I only take two tablets a day. The other vitamins and minerals I try to get from food and tea (like nettle tea where one cup can provide enough daily calcium, vit A,B, K, potassium, zinc, sodium, phosphorus etc).

I like my nature made gel capsules. No taste and goes down smooth. They all have the same amount of folic acid. You don't want to take too much.
