@Jasmine yeah they did for 7 weeks after That i need to continue by myself so thats why i am asking
I use Floradix but I also used pregnacare breast feeding multi vitamin and omega after I gave birth. I also started using a brand called Zooki which is really good but quite pricey.
Yeah not only do you live in UK which have low UV but I can also see you’re covered head to toe which will make you deficient in VitD. I always take multis and “hair skin nails” but honestly I can’t recommend a brand because I just get what’s on sale. The brand doesn’t really matter, as long as you’re taking it consistently. They can get really $ so when I’m at the shops I just browse and get the ones on sale. I’ve used lots of brands over the years.
@Ayesha ,not sure why your GP is only prescribing for 7 weeks? They should be able to prescribe beyond that point. Especially in our country most of us are vit d deficient. If you're having difficulty in getting more vitamin d or equivalent perhaps your midwife could help? They were the ones who initially prescribed Asprin for myself. Then the GP took over. Also, have you got a maternity exemption card? Because you're entitled to free prescriptions whilst pregnant. Hope this helps.🫶🏾
I take high strength vitamin D for lack of sun (the UK is genuinely crap) and Biotin for my hair which fell out sooo much post partum. I just get them from Boots
The GP should've prescribed the right amount of vit d for you depending on mg and iu
