What prenatal are you taking? iI'm taking garden of life prenatal, Nordic natural prenatal DHA, garden of life raw calcium, high dose probiotics, and will sometimes take Chinese herbs, extra vitamin C & D.
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..
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.
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 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.
One A day prenantal vitamins are the best
I'm taking a multi prenatal vitamin and dr said folic acid too. Thats it
