folic acid is in fortified breakfast cereals and green veg but to be honest i dont thnk it is in high enough quantities to help protect your baby. is there a time of day when you are less sick? if there is, take the tablet them to help maximise absorption. do talk to your midwife about it though.

hi, i have a big problem swallowing tablets. i take the mirco vitamins from boots, they are in a green packet cost a fiver they look like a sweetener and just melt on your tongue, so easy to take , and found they dont make u feel sick after taking them.
