Supplements and drinks

The NHS advises taking a 400 microgram folic acid supplement every day while trying for a baby and until you are 12 weeks pregnant. Folate-containing foods do not replace that supplement. Some people are advised to take a higher dose — ask your GP.
The NHS advises considering a daily 10 microgram vitamin D supplement, particularly between October and early March.
The NHS advises avoiding alcohol if you could become pregnant, and limiting caffeine to 200mg a day in pregnancy. Recipes here contain no alcohol.

None of the UK's 14 declarable allergens are listed in this recipe's ingredients.
