Best supplement for pregnancy. Really love this supplement. There is no nasty after taste and it does not cause any constipation which is amazing!
No side effects. Have been taking through pregnancy-breastfeeding-pregnancy-breastdeeding. This lengthy supplememtation has not led to any side effects and my health (and children's) has been generally good - hence STILL taking these.

Way cheaper but just as good as elevite. I’m usually this every day and it’s very good ,not allergic reactions which I have with others
Cheaper than some other brands. I have a 15 month old and have taken these daily since I found out I was pregnant. I have a healthy happy baby and I think these have played a part.
Good product. Good product, good for women who need breastfeeding

Perfect postpartum vitamin. Excellent value for money. The capsules are easy to swallow with vanilla flavoured coating.
very good for mom to be/mom doing breast-feeding. This is the xyz times I bought this for my sister while she was pregnant (from baby no 1-3) and currently she's breast-feeding baby #3. She likes this particular product because it works wonder.

Great!. Used all through our my pregnancy and after whilst breastfeeding. No constipation. Lots of energy to last me through the day. I worked fulltime right up to 38 weeks and have 4 older kids so the extra support was needed. This is the first pregnancy I used Blackmores right through out. No side effects for me either unlike the other well known supplement.
The best pre natal vitamins. The only prenatal vitamin that doesn’t give you constipation. The iron in it is gentle on the stomach so it also doesn’t give you that horrible burning & sick feeling if you take without food! Much better than Elevit! The iron in Elevit made me feel nauseated and constipated which is the last thing you need if TTC or pregnant or breastfeeding!!!

The best!. Ive tried a few pregnancy vitamins and Blackmores is the only one i dont feel nauseous! Easy to swallow and no bad taste! As soon as i started taking i noticed i was feeling really well. I recommend this to all my friends.
Better than expected. I previously used Elevit but found it very nauseating. I converted to Blackmores and it has been working really well. Its often on 50% off so keep an eye out for sales.

Great for boost. Great for bubs and folic acid
Great that I can buy a big bottle. I prefer this over Elevit. It does not make me sick and it smells nicer, makes me think of chocolates. I am about to finish my 2nd big bottle and will purchase more even after bub is born. It's just good to know that I still get all the supplement I need during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Good. Provides good reassurance of adequate nutrition

Highly recommended! Feeling very good for bubs & I. I feel so good since having them! Started whole being pregnant early on and still taking them with bubs being 7 months now. Will take them as long as I'm breastfeeding because of all the benefits for her and I.
Highly recommended, especially to stock up whilst on special.
The best!. We purchased this product after earlier troubles whilst using another brand. What people don't tell you is how important the fish oil is in this product. The other big named pregnancy tablet doesn't contain it. Trust me it's vital. I have full trust and faith in blackmores. All our supps are blackmores and we are going for baby 2 soon and this product is without a doubt our goto.
Good. Recommended for people who cannot bear the iron tablet taste and smell.
Best pregnancy vitamins. I’ve been having these supplements since pretty much the start of my pregnancy. I find they are easy on the stomach and don’t make you constipated. I couldn’t have Elevit because it made me feel sick so this was the perfect alternative.

Better than most. Although they are huge (most prenatal vitamins are I believe) and you have to take 2, they don’t make me feel sick. I take them at night before bed.

Much better to digest than the others. I’ve been using this since March 2020 for pre conception after struggling with Elevit which always made my stomach hurt.
This one is much easier to digest and the price point is also much more attractive.
I’ll continue this post pregnancy too.

null. I bought 2 bottles on 26 June, arrived on 3 July, with expiry date is on 10 May 2021. Buying on special is really good, just make sure not buying too much in case the expiry date is too close.
First pregnancy & first time using this. It smell a little bit like chocolate & no complain so far. :)
Better than another brand ive tried!. Great, doesn't cause constipation liked other brands. Also smells of chocolate, masking it easier to take.
Good product. Transitioned from conceive well to this after I got pregnant. Seems to work well- I have stocked up as they go on special

Great product. Love this products, very recommended to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Recommended vitamin tablet. These are the first preg vitamins I've tried, based on the other reviews I've seen. They're easy to take and don't seem to have any side effects or after taste so I can't complain! They are expensive, but you can generally get them on "offer" so it's worth waiting til then if you can. I would say don't buy too many packets in advanced/ stock up as the packet I was sent only have 4 months before the expiry date (which is fine for me as I will use them in the 3 months, but may have been an issue if I'd bought any more at the same time)

Quality Product!. Have used Blackmores Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Gold Tablets for all my 10 pregnancies! Good quality product I definitely trust for my health & nutrition!
Great product!!!. I bought it when I was pregnant with my second son.I am very pleased with this vitamins.it has all vitamins and minerals and plus fish oil for healthy pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Growing baby. Everything you need in a day just in 2 tablets. To help your growing baby. A little strange taste from them when you first start taking them but you get used to it an don’t notice it after a while. I found the larger pack on special was a better buy. So roughly 4 containers throughout pregnancy is needed, more if you decide to breastfeed
Good. I am so happy with it and it is great
