We have decided that we will TTC #4, I have begun taking Elevit with Iodine. Just querying, has anyone every had any side effects from taking these? If so, what did you take as an alternative, Thanks

they made me bring up every time with my 3rd baby so i didn't take anything. I figured i ate well enough to not need them, and my Ob was absolutely fine with it. For my second i switched from elevit to Blackmore's pregnancy gold (or something like that). Seemed to have all the same vits & mins Good luck in your journey : )

Yes I take Elevit. It makes me feel a bit sick in the stomach so on other EBers advice I take it as I go to bed. I wake up feeling fine ETA- I would have switched to another brand but I bought just over a years supply when they were ridiculously cheap! This post has been edited by Allie_D: 24/01/2013, 10:55 AM

Over rated in my opinion. Just take folic acid and stick with a healthy diet, most breads you buy nowadays has to have iodised salt. I found elevit and blackmores during pregnancy made me get HG all over again.

I fiund they were fine when ttc but once I was pregnant they really upset my morning sickness. I ended up just taking folate by itself. Not only did I not get sick but at $4 for a bottle of 100 tablets it was so much cheaper!
