Vitabiotics Pregnacare review

Pregnacare is the number one pregnancy supplement in the UK, and is specially formulated for women who are planning a pregnancy, as well as those who are already pregnant or breastfeeding. It provides the key nutrients to safeguard the health of you and your baby, at the right levels, which might not be the case for a general multivitamin. It won the ‘Boots Vitamin Award – Favourite Pregnancy Product’ in 2008 and 2009.

What we love

Pregnacare is widely available, so if you go out looking for a pregnancy supplement, it’s more than likely to be the one you find. It’s a very strong brand that I felt I could rely on and both Evie and I seem to have survived pretty well on it!

I thought the price was reasonable and anyway, I’d rather pay for something I trust to be safe than take any chances when I’m pregnant.

I’m hoping to have another baby soon, and I’ll definitely take Pregnacare again.

What to watch out for

The tablets are the size of horse pills, and I did find them quite hard to get down.

I would prefer it if the packets had the days of the week on, so that you would know whether you’d taken it each day. It’s easy to forget things like that, especially when you’re pregnant, and I was constantly worrying about whether I hadn’t taken it at all so my baby would miss out on her vitamins, or that I’d taken two and that this would harm her!

Who is Pregnacare best for?

Mums-to-be who want to make sure they’re getting all the right vitamins and minerals.

MadeForMums verdict

A great product from a trusted brand, but not the easiest pill to swallow.
