vitamins

[DecemberComeSoon]

Hello!! Just wondering what vitamins are good to take along with my prenatal. I want to take extra vitamin c, d and olive leaf for my immune system. Just unsure of any others or if I shouldn't take the olive leaf.

I am taking just Folic acid and eating well, veggies n all cooked..alot of apple, carrots, pear n such.. Fish also for omega3 but counted my grams per week.
20y ago none took this vitamins n everything was just fine..
Pumping ur body with vitamins n eating deli food like some (note: didnt wrote all so do not attack :) ) is just to have ur mind at ease u gave vitamins to ur baby that actually could have gotten thru food.

Also, taking too many vitamins can be harmful to a developing baby. And any vitamins you do take need to be taken at least two hours apart from your prenatal. Also, calcium can keep you from absorbing the proper nutrients from your prenatal.

I have only heard that you should talk to your doctor about any extra vitamins you take besides your prenatal. I have wanted to take garlic gel pills and omega 3, etc but I haven't because I don't want to worry that my baby is getting too much of something. They sat your body will filter out extra stuff, but its better to be safe rather than sorry.

I dont understand why some of u are filling urself  with so much vitamins..did u calculate ur body needs and do u overpass it? To much vitamins isnt good too..
