Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding Gold is recommended by

Overall: My doctor recommended I take these multi vitamins as they contain the full range of vitamins and minerals including fish oil (apparently a lot of other supplements don't contain fish oil and it is very beneficial for your developing baby). I only managed to take these supplemlents for the first three months as I found that they were just too big and made me gag.
Pros: I have used this product during both of my pregnancies and am currently using as we are trying for a 3rd. I have found the product to be easily digestable, leaving no unpleasent aftertaste. Readily available in chemist and cost effective. With Blackmores products, I know that I am getting a good quality product. Also comes in a bulk "trimester" pack, adding to the value.
Cons: You have to take 2 large tablets, making it difficult for those who do not like swallowing tablets.
Overall: I would recommend this product. Contains fish oil which is good for the developing baby. Also cost effective and easily available.
Cons: Very large tablet, hard to ingest when suffering morning sickness
Overall: My husband is a pharmacist so he started me taking these when we started talking about trying to conceive. Once I was pregnant and morning sickness started I struggled to take these are the capsules are very big. Once morning sickness eased I was okay and continued to take them after birth and until my child weaned from breastfeeding. The Blackmores formula provides all the nurtrients required for a pregnant and breastfeeding woman and also helps the developing foetus and breastfed child. This is the number 1 pregnancy vitamin that my husband recommends to customers in his pharmacy.
Pros: Contain fish oil. Easy to use bottle that comes in a large size to make it cheaper to buy.
Cons: The tablets are large and I had morning sickness throughout my pregnancy so I had to switch to another brand.
Overall: I started with these tablets as they have the fish oil which some other leading brands don't. However in the end I could not swallow them without gagging and then vomiting as they are so large and you need to take two. I would have to get my husband to distract me to help me not gag. I am not one normally to have difficulty taking large tablets. I went onto another brand for the remainder of both pregnancies and then used them up during breastfeeding.
Pros: You can use the same product through pregnancy and then through to breastfeeding.
You can buy in large quantities (enough for one trimester)and save money.
Cons: Blackmores are really very large tablets and u need to take two a day, I found them quite hard to swallow especially when you have morning sickness.I was taking one at night and one in the morning, but kept forgetting.
Overall: I took these all the way through pregnancy and continued whilst breastfeeding. I found that I just felt so much better when taking them. Priceline sells them in the large quantities (for one whole trimester) which really is a money saver.
