Vitamins During Pregnancy

No prenatal vitamins do not cause you to miss your period - they are vitamins, thus have no influence on your menstrual cycle. Consider that if prenatal vitamins did cause you to miss your period (which would only happen if you missed ovulation) then they would prevent pregnancy, this work against those who were taking them!

i don't think taking folic acid enhances your chances of falling pregnant, however if you are trying, then start taking it asap so from the moment your baby is conceived so he/she is getting the amount of folic acid required for proper fetal development & to minimise some birth defects :)

for vitamin b6 it claims to be very beneficial for morning sickness, they say you should not take more then 200 mc. a day

Yes, it destroys up to a half of the vitamins. In addition, the amount of vitamins decreases for every year the can is stored.

Pregnant women should take prenatal vitamin supplements which are full of a lot of different vitamins and minerals that will help both the woman and the baby.

You can safely take Folic acid throughout your life safely. And this is true for both the sexes. It is a Vitamin present in green leafy vegetables. But do not take it in high dose for long time unlessadvisedby your Doctor.

I believe it is Type 1 diabetes...but I could be wrong.Look it up again just in case. :)

Yes!!!! Please take the vitamins. The vitamins contain an essential nutrient called Folic Acid. Folic Acid is important to the devloping baby. The Folic Acid helps the proper formation of the baby, including the spine. It also helps in the proper formaion of cells.

No prenatal vitamins make the woman sick. It is due to the hormonal changes that you feel sick.

it is generally recommended that the appropriate dose of B-complex vitamins be taken in place of single B vitamin supplements.

I asked around and most people said that vitamins A, E and C are the best for swimmers but you might want to do a bit more research just in case I'm wrong.

One can start taking folic acid supliments as soon as you start planning for getting pregnant. It's advisable to take the recommended dose of folic acid for about a month before you try and get pregnant; it would ensure you of a healthy baby. Once you conceive, it's recommended that you continue having the folic acid supplement during entire first trimester.

Folic acid is a vitamin supplement which is also known as Vitamin-M or folacin. It is a water-soluble form of Vitamin-B9 and is useful in cell metabolism. It helps an expectant mother to curb the chances of delivering a bay having any neural-tube defects [example - spina bifida].

You should take so you have everything you need. It's rare today that someone lacks vitamin C. Drinking juice or eat fruit usually takes care of it. If you are afraid that it will be unsafe don't worry. There is some talk about vitamin C can cause abortion in large quantities but that is not the case. you just pee it out.

no it really will not hurt but the best vitamins is the prenatial vitamins that your obgyn can provide, a simple blood test is for the doctor to see where your blood levels are, whether you need more iron or calcium, etc..

Yes, it is generally considered safe to receive the polio vaccine if you are planning to get pregnant. The inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) does not pose any risk to a developing fetus. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss your specific situation and any other vaccinations you may need before pregnancy.

They are perfectly safe. They are made of fruits and vegetables and nothing else so when you take them its like taking a trip to the salad bar. In a study of 356 pregnant women 178 where given JP and the others where not and the JP patients had fewer c sections 87 compared to 117, no preclampsia 0 compared to 38, no preterm labor 0 compared to 16 and the babies were born with no respiratory distress syndomes 0 compared to 13 and none had to be takes to the NICU 0 compared to 17. This is just a supplement though and does not replace healthy eating.

Normal pregnant women need 400 to 800 mcg of folic acid a day. You should talk to your Dr to see if you need to adjust.

You can take one or two tablets of 5 mg per day. Toxicology data for folic acid is not available. Being water soluble vitamin, extra dose is excreted by your kidney.

1 to 2 months.

Being healthy and getting pregnant go hand in hand with one another. If you are trying to conceive try eating more beans, nuts, and non-red meats. It is also good to load up on fruits and vegetables. Remember, folic acid and iron are both great to include in your diet plan when trying to conceive.

Yes. One should. Folic acid is necessary for cell division. In case of pregnancy the cells are rapidly dividing inside the womb.

shrimp is lethal is it contains large amount of chelesterol. But Vis C is not lethal , rather this is the vitamin that our cell needs for normal function. Moreover Vit C boosts

immune system.

I was at first wondering that myself but after some research, yes it is safe and recommended particularly if you are thinking of conceiving whether it be months or a year down the line because I believe the spine forms early on and folic acid is needed for this. Your body will not absorb any excess folic acid so you cannot overdose on it, however it is recommended not to take anymore than 1000mg. 5mg is recommended for people like myself on epilepsy medication or if there is a history of spina bifida in the family or previous offspring. Hope that helps. xx
