If you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, it's important you get the right nutrients to pass on to your developing baby. This is what the makers of Boots Mum to Be pregnancy vitamins say. According to the bottle this product has been formulated with Multivitamins, minerals and folic acid. Folic acid is important to help the spinal cord of your developing baby grow healthily and it is known that most pregnant women don't get enough folic diet in their library. This is according to the National Diet and Nutrition survey.

With my last baby I made sure to take folic acid for at least 3 months before I got pregnant and this time around I decided to do the same thing. We are trying for a baby at the moment and so purchased these vitamins on a three for two deal at Boots which I thought was quite good value. Boots have a great range of vitamins and some of the branded ones can be a little expensive but these Boots ones are quite good value. A bottle of 30 tablets costs £3.99 and this can be even cheaper if you get them on a deal like I did.

Like Boots state above, folic acid can help to protect against a number of congenital malformations including neural tube defects so I believe anything you can do to combat against this I think is well worth it.

Like it says above these vitamins are for use before conception, during pregnancy and breastfeeding. You take them one a day and they are not too big so are quite easy to swallow with a bit of water. As well as folic acid, they also contain iron, and B vitamins which are also necessary later in pregnancy for blood formation. Also, they are ideal if you are going to breast feed as optimum nutrition is important during breast-feeding which places extra demands on your body.

They come in a handy little plastic bottle with a child proof press and screw off top so if you have other children I think this is a really good feature. My bottle of vitamins which I keep in my bag also double as a handy shake and rattle to keep my little girl entertained if there is nothing else around!

This is only my opinion on the vitamins and I am not medically trained at all so I would recommend that before you start any vitamin supplement you wither talk to your doctor or a pharmacist to get the best possible information in regards to you.
