What sort of zinc supplement did you take? Zinc on its own, or in

combination with other supplements? I think I have a zinc deficiency.

--> Now I'm taking Zinc Chelate that the health food shop recommended. It does

contain other things in it though (like magnesium, vit a, B2, manganese and B6).

And by the way, I'm 40 weeks pregnant today and have no stretch marks. I was

sure I would get them because my sisters got them so badly. I have no idea why

because I haven't been that vigilant with supplements. Perhaps it's due to the

NT diet or that I haven't put on as much weight as they did. With the zinc, I

think someone in this group said to take it on its own last thing at night

before bed - so that's what I do.
