how much Vit D3 during pregnancy--confused

Hi Doc:

I've been rading lots of stuff as to how much Vit D/D3 /Calcium/Magnesium is required during the pregnancy and got all sorts of answers.

My prenatal vitm contains

Vit D3=250 IU
Calcium=300mg
Mag=50mg

But since I've read that we need more calcium than that I've started to take Calcium supplement with Magnesium&VitD3

So ,in total I'm currently taking

Calcium=966 mg
Vit D3= 750 MG
Mag=350 mg

Am I taking too much Vit D3 and  magnesium?Does the calcium amount sufficient for my pregnancy?

thnx

In theory you may be taking too much
but I don't think there is evidence that it will hurt u in any way

Wow...I've never even heard of Vitamin D3. I'm 37 weeks pregnant right now and was never told by either my RE or obgyn to take any additional vitamins than the prenatal vitamin they prescribed. I do drink a lot of milk, though, so I do get additional calcium from that. You could always check with your doctor, but I would think a regular prenatal vitamin would be sufficient....ideally one with DHA, unless you already get enough omega-3 in your diet.

I am glad this question came up.  For those who have done IVF, Are you taking Pre-natal vitamins all thru your cycle?

[Heather5]

I did. I was prescribed Prenate DHA by my RE and later by my obgyn.

Thanks I also was taking them..but my husband just saw me do it today & he was making me 2nd guess myself.  I knew I was supposed to be.  :-)
