I just take the pregnancare what I meant was hold long did I take them or take the folic acid if I went onto them instead. As every time I take a pregnancare tablet it cause me to feel sick all day and it's the one feeling I hate as makes me feel faint and stops me from eating properly as can't face food. I missed a day by mistake and I felt completely fine that day I just feel so horrible when I take them but take them because I have to. And I'm UK based :/

If you have over the counter prenatals take one extra folic acid . My doctor said the over the counter is not strong enough in folic acid . Especially first trimester. Also , you need to take it your whole pregnancy . Even in the later stages it's very important

I don't understand your question but if your asking how long do you have to take prenatal vitamins you have to take them threw your whole pregnancy and if your not able to keep them down talk to your doctor about chewable tablets they are way better than the ones you have to swallow :) congratulations
