I may just do the same then and get the same tablets again with folic and vitamin d

 

[PeanutButter]

Are you not taking vit C?

 

[sarah1986]

No dont really need to so i was told, I get enough from fruit and veg.

Main ones are folic and vitamin D.

Same here x

as long as you've not been told you need to take folic acid you can stop now. I have some vitamin tablets which I occasionally take but I've got a good diet. vitamin D is important though

I got told to stop taking anything after 12 weeks as my diet and amount if time outdoors is more than sufficient. Have to start aspirin now though but that's fine.

Folic acid doesn't do you any harm. The babies neural tube has developed by 12 weeks so the risks of those birth defects are gone. Which is what we take it for really. But it doesn't harm the baby to keep taking it, even though most times it's not necessary after 12 weeks. I'm still taking my prenatals on advice from the midwife with my lack of appetite/sickness and they have folic acid in them.

Currently watching dd and oh in this fun factory. I think my fiancé is going to die haha. Dd is lovng it though lol xx

There are a few exceptions, but usually if you take an excess of a vitamin, you just wee it out, lol

 

[PeanutButter]

I take 1000mg vitamin c, 1000mg omega 3, 5mg folic acid, and seven seas pregnancy multi vitamin. 75mg aspirin. Gonna take until after birth. (maybe not the aspirin depending on what consultant says).

Glad everything’s ok GG and Fela... sounds like a stressful few days!

Is anyone else feeling more emotional than normal this week? I’ve literally woken up at 2am every night and cried until it’s time to wake up... not over nothing exactly but over stuff that people have said that I would normally brush off. Thing is the more sleep I miss the more upset I am! It’s my last day at my old job today and I’m an emotional wreck already

Katy I'm totally with you. I am just so emotional, nearly crying all time. But also getting angry too.

Yesterday OH went into the bedroom and just lay on the bed, I went in there like "what are you doing? why are you in here?" .. "I'm just laying on the bed.." .. "why though? OMG YOU MAKE ME SO ANGRY!"

and then I walked away seething. He came in the room and replayed the situation to me a few mins later and I couldn't stop laughing, how ridiculous hahaha! Such an irrational anger over nothing lol x

Were u annoyed he was just laying around doing nothing? Or was it really no reason hahaha sounds like u got a laugh out of it in the end at least! Xx

Morning ladies

My first little baby is 4 today! I actually can't believe it everyone tells pi when you get pregnant "oh enjoy it time flies when you have a baby" and you never really believe them. But oh my god my baby is a child now. She was so excited to go to nursery with her 4 badge lol.

I'm feeling so emotional & I think having another baby has a lot to do with that. Hope nobody minds me posting her here. Not really pregnancy related. But I can't believe she's 4. One of the first pic I ever took of her (on a hospital Tena pad lol) to one of the most recent

Have a nice day everyone . I'm away to cry haha xx

Awww happy 4th birthday to her! She's beautiful in both pics! I can see why you'd been all emotional and proud of her xx

Obviously if you've been told not to, then don't I'm just saying it doesn't harm the baby. At least I've never heard of it xx

out of curiosity and ignorance why do you take so much vitamin C?
