Yet another vitamin question:) and fiber too.

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I know we get lots of vitamin questions, but I am going

to ask anyway:) I am six weeks along and before becoming pregnant I

was taking 2-complete multi vitamins, 2-B12 500 mcg, 2-Citrical

daily. Since becoming pregnant my doctor added 1-prenatal. I also

take 2 to 3 folic acid 400 mcg.

Do these sound right? A few posts the other day have me worrying that

I may not be getting enough folic acid. Can you over do it with folic

acid? I don't want my baby to have any neurological problems or neuro

tube thing they were speaking of (I don't know what that means), but

I dont want to Overdose on vitamins either. I had open rny surgery 11

months ago.

Also, I am having a problem with constipation (sorry:( TMIF i know)

Is it safe for us to take a fiber supplement? I just bought

benefiber, but don't want to take until I hear some opinions. Boy,

can you tell this is my first baby? I am a worry wart. Thanks in

advance for your suggestions.

Take care,

Kim
