too much vitamin c?

I didnt realize how much vitamin c was in a bag fruit snacks that I just ate and the label says ive had 100% of the daily value times 3. ( it was 100% of the daily value per serving and I ate 3 servings....the whole bag). Ive read that women actually take excess vitamin c to induce abortions and now im terrified that I accidentally just had to much!

My question is that do you think eating an entire bag of fruit gummies will actually do harm to baby?  Im 38weeks 2 days. I probably sound crazy but im really concerned!

Vitamin C is one of those that you'll just pee out the excess. It's one of few vitamins that has a very very low risk of toxicity. You may just notice a little GI upset if you have way too much, but you should be fine with the fruit snacks :-)
