• I really suffered in my first pregnancy with bloating and nausea when taking other tablets. Since taking these with my second pregnancy I have noticed a considerable difference. Would highly recommend.

  • I am in my third trimester and was really struggling with indigestion, bloating and gas. I was recommended these by a friend and I am no longer feeling uncomfortable. I have also noticed energy levels have increased.

  • I am on my 4th bottle, I love this product.

  • I've been taking For Pregnancy since I found out I was pregnant and I'm now nearly 23 weeks. They are so easy to take and I definitely recommend to all mums to be!

  • It really helped me through my pregnancy and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is having a baby. I found it to be brilliant and will be telling all my friends to take it when pregnant.

  • I have taken Optibac probiotics on and off for many years, and when my tummy became particularly unsettled early in my pregnancy, I started taking these. My symptoms included bloating, and erratic and frequent bowel motions, when I am usually very regular. After taking these just for 2-3 days, these symptoms improved significantly, and I felt much better in myself. I could rest better at night, and thus felt more energetic during the day. I would highly recommend taking these during pregnancy, or indeed, another Optibac product.

  • I was having trouble taking any supplements / probiotics during my pregnancy as they were making me feel quite queasy - so I swapped to this probiotic after a recommendation from a friend and was able to take these without issue - they are much gentler for my body which is just what I needed. I have been taking them now for nearly four weeks and feeling a lot better - less bloating, more of a 'healthy' appetite and more energised in general. Just ordering my next supply to keep me going for the rest of my pregnancy and beyond. Great product.

  • After having my third baby I spoke with my friend Sarah, a nutritionist, about my symptoms and experience, she recommended these probiotics. I felt the like a fog over me had been lifted and I could smile from the inside and enjoy my baby. I also got her the newborn probiotic drops, which are so much more convenient to give than the sachets, and within days her skin has improved tenfold. If you are experiencing any of the issues I have described, I would highly recommend these probiotics and the baby drops they have been amazing for me and my daughter. I recently ran out and after a week or so the bloating came back, I quickly repurchased and once again symptoms have disappeared! I know its going to take a while for my gut to be fully rebalanced again but I am super confident its on the road to recovery with these.

  • I started taking the probiotics soon after having my third child, whom I breastfeed. I’ve noticed a difference in my energy levels, I’m waking earlier and feeling refreshed in the morning and not sluggish as before. My energy is better throughout the day and my skin has been clearer, brighter and smoother. I’m ordering more as I really have felt the benefits of taking these probiotics and am starting my children on them also.

    Hayley Bystram- 6th September 2020

  • I’m really happy with the results so far from taking these probiotics. For the first 14 weeks of pregnancy my skin was so bad , after taking these for two weeks my skin has fully cleared up! I also have noticed I haven’t been bloated as I was before and have a lot more energy. Fully recommend these!

    Ellis- 1st September 2020

  • I didn't start taking the tablets until I was about 28 weeks pregnant but I'm so glad I did. I really suffered with bloating and discomfort up until this point but after about a week of taking them this really improved. My stomach settled and I felt so much better. I'm also glad they are a vegan product as this is really important to me. I like that they are pregnancy specific as I felt safe that they were ok to use for me and my baby.

    Beth Phipps- 19th August 2020

  • I don’t often leave reviews for products but was really impressed with the results of taking this probiotic. I’m currently in the pre-conception stage and hoping to start trying later this year, so making my body as healthy as it can be for myself and the baby to be is really important to me. Since taking the probiotic I’ve had way more energy and noticed how great my skins looking. I’ve also had recurring issues and taking this probiotic has helped relieve my symptoms of bloating and stomach discomfort. It’s a relief to know that I can keep taking this safely throughout the pregnancy, thank you Optibac!

    Rosie Ray- 18th August 2020

  • I was looking for a probiotic designed for pregnancy and breastfeeding in order to take care of my baby and myself simultaneously. I was happy to find OptiBac ‘For Pregnancy’ which I started to take about one month before giving birth. My little girl was almost two weeks late and I have to say I have felt really well until the day she was born. Now, she is about 10 days old and I don't know if it has to do with the probiotic but she doesn't need burping and is very calm in general. For that reason, I ordered another box straight away! :-)

    Caroline Deléamont- 12th August 2020

  • Great product, really made a difference when I started taking these to how my stomach felt along with the rest of me! It’s true sorting out your gut really helps many other things too and puts my mind at ease knowing these are designed especially for pregnancy!

    DS- 27th July 2020

  • I absolutely love this product! After taking probiotics for over a year now for general health I was delighted to see Optibac had created one for Pregnancy! This is my first pregnancy and like most women, didn’t really know what to expect or how to feel. I’ve been fortunate enough to have blissfully sailed through my first 12 weeks, but after getting to 20 weeks & onwards I’ve noticed a lot of changes in my body. I started getting very bloated & uncomfortable when eating and going to the toilet started to get a lot more irregular, so when I started taking these probiotics I was so pleased to see the effects of it working just after 1 week! I feel a LOT less bloated, and also a lot less windy & belchy after eating. I love the thought of my body being in the best condition it can be in to house my baby, and I will continue take For Pregnancy after he arrives!

    Devon- 20th July 2020

  • I started these nearly a month ago and have really felt the benefit. I had struggled after a dose of antibiotics early in my second trimester and being on prescription for low iron. I’m now 29 weeks pregnant, more regular and much more comfortable. These have made life easier, so I can chase around after my other two children and I do have more energy. Thank you Optibac! I will definitely be sticking with these throughout my pregnancy.

    Beccy [pre-launch trial]- 14th July 2020

  • I am 23 weeks pregnant and tried other brands and it was not working. I still felt bloated. I tried the Optibac probiotics and in less than a week I was already feeling better. I recommend it!

    Josie - [pre-launch trial]- 14th July 2020

  • I have been taking these for 2 weeks now (from 29 weeks pregnant) and I can honestly say that they have changed me!! Before I started taking them, I was feeling low, so tired I felt I was unable to look after the children without help, as I couldn't find the energy (I have 3 little ones under 5yrs and 31 weeks pregnant) I'm anemic with my ferritin levels at only 10, so taking a high dose of ferrous fumarate and generally felt pretty rubbish all round. But after 2 weeks of one capsule a day I feel fantastic and back to my old self, and if not I actually feel better than that!! I have so much energy again, more positive, and my bowels are regular again. I was also on antibiotics... and I had no other symptoms (the stinging or uncomfortable sensation to constantly needing to wee) I finished my antibiotics about a week after starting the capsules and I've had no knock on effects and have not had any problems since. *I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE CAPSULES * and I'm actually looking forward to taking them following baby's arrival to help with my general wellbeing. THANK YOU Optibac xx

    Rhona Farley-Harper - [pre-launch trial]- 14th July 2020

  • I have generally felt great on the For Pregnancy Probiotics, I'm nearly 30 weeks pregnant now. Bowel movements have been pretty regular too (something I have always struggled with!!!) I will definitely keep using for the last trimester. :)

    Emily - [pre-launch trial]- 13th July 2020

  • I have used these in my second trimester after suffering from regular UTIs in my first trimester. Since taking them I have felt so much better, just generally much better overall. I will definitely be using these throughout the rest of my pregnancy. Am so glad I discovered them and highly recommend to anyone that’s pregnant!

    Hannah - [pre-launch trial]- 13th July 2020

  • I have been on these now since week 19 of my pregnancy. During my first trimester I found I was very gassy! However, in the last few weeks of using these, I have less bloating. I am going to continue taking these for the remainder of my pregnancy, as not only have they made me feel much better, but I hope that they benefit my little baby after birth too.
