These are often the go to for pregnancy vitamins. I even got a decent sized sample through my maternity care. These however did not agree with me at all. Made my morning sickness a lot worse and the tablet size really made it hard to keep these down. When I switched to a different brand I felt instantly better and was still getting all the same vitamins I needed. I'm not saying this will happen to everyone as I know loads of people get on great with these, just my experience was not good. If you don't feel very well on these try a different brand and see if you improve. - Strengths:

My partner has been taking pregnacare max since she knew she was pregnant, she went for blood tests and apparently she has a really low folic acid levels. How is that possible with this "excellent" brand and product. - Weaknesses:

Have taken these for yearS during fertility treatment as was recommended, always try to get a three for two offer as can be a bit pricey compared to other products. Never had a problem with them - Strengths:

I have been taking Pregnacare max through my whole pregnancy and really rate them. My results have always been great at the hospital and I have not had one single illness the whole time I have been pregnant. They are quite pricey at £18.99 to buy every month but look out for boots doing them on a 3 for 2 offer. - Strengths:

This tablets all the crème de la crème Of prenatal vitamins however they didn’t do the job for me. My midwife suggested they could be adding to my sickness so I didn’t take the tablets one day and I instantly felt better. Having now switched to the pregnant care and omega-3 option I feel so much better and know that my baby is also being looked after well in the roo of prenatal vitamins however they didn’t do the job for me.

I started taking these as soon as I found out I was pregnant... I took them every day but found them too big and they seem to get stuck in the throat when trying to swallow. One of the pills seemed to have a very strong smell to it and sometimes made me feel too sick to take.
After speaking to my gp and having bloods taken I learnt I was still lacking the vitamins so was recommended to stop these and have what I needed separately. This is also hard as now I have even more to take... - Strengths:

I used pregnacare max throughout my first pregnancy. Excellent product would highly recommend, it's worth spending that bit of extra money to know your baby is getting all it needs from a great quality product. Also very handy to have the days on to keep track of what you've taken.

These were brought as a gift, as an upgrade to prescribed vitamins. The benefits of the additional vitamins and oils are stated on the box but no idea of the actual benefits to me so far. The tablets are in blister packs, well organised into weeks 1 week for the 2 green tablet pack and 2 weeks on the oil pack. This was handy for travelling around with and keeping track of when they have been taken. My only gripe is that with taking 3 fairly large tablets, after a meal, as directed. I sometimes felt it a struggle to eat them and swallow without feeling full, gagging or feeling like they had got stuck. I did once feel one stuck and got heartburn pretty badly after, despite taking a lot of fluid. Now I always ensure to try and swallow them as the are designed, eg. Pointing down!

These are the most complete pregnacare vitamins to take which is a great comfort. The downside for me is the size and taste of the pills and the fact you have to take them with your main meal which for me is the evening and it is too easy for me to forget to take them. The plus side is that they include fish oil vitamins as well and and have day-of-the-week packaging so you can keep track of what you have taken. - Strengths:

I try and stock up on this when it's on offer as it can be found you c. £12. I've been taking this since 3 weeks and haven't had any problems with blood levels. I have a 'high risk' pregnancy because of of previous losses and long term health conditions. This is our first time getting to 23 weeks and I don't feel terrible which is great.

I have been taking the product since I was 3 months pregnant and have never had any issues with bloods in regards to any vitamin deficiencies. (Currently 29 weeks) I love that my fish oil is also included as this I do struggle with getting from eating fish on its own. Not just that but this product had been specifically designed for pregnant people and my midwifes, consultant and pregnancy diabtes consultant are all happy with me taking this. The only downside is the price, however, all vitamins are expensive. I did manage to find it on 3 for 2, which helped with the price a lot. - Strengths:

I tried these tablets when first pregnant. I was unfortunately extremely sick (and still am being sick at 25 weeks!!) and when trying to take these tablets I just could not manage to get them down. I was unable to swallow them even when I broke them in half. I also felt that the price of the tablets was extortionate. I have been able since to source tablets at my local children's centre for just £1 for exactly the same dosage of vitamins. Would not recommend if you struggle with taking tablets and if you don't want to spend all that money! - Strengths:

I bought this product as it includes all the right amounts of everything you need being pregnant to.support me and the baby. The only bad things about these tablets is having to take three tablets a day and two of them being the same. The two that are the same are also unnecessarily big so if your not a fan of taking tablets I presume these could be quite tricky to swallow. I just want the baby to get as much nutrition and support as it can without taken loads of tablets and also the expense of buying lots of different products to achieve the same goal. - Strengths:

I personally used this in my first pregnancy. Provides all vitamins needed in pregnancy and a lot extra. Best choice if like me you don't get the vitamins via food etc. I choose to use these over the ones midwife provide as they contain many more vitamins than the healthy start tablets. Great product. Midwife approved. Unfortunately the price really let's it down as it's not always affordable for some people like myself. - Strengths:

I started to take the max support since I found out I was pregnant. As I have kidney disease and my health is bit fragile, I wanted to make sure I'd go for the best. Even with my mum package that I got from the midwife they give you the normal ones, I took these MAX pills. It's more expensive, I know, and honestly the omega 3 oil pills that comes with it's bit too hard for me to swallow.. but these week O read it properly and I was surprised to find out that it contains even Biotin in the formula... biotin is a must when your nails are weak and you hair falling a lot.. Anyway, I super recommend :) - Strengths:
