Question 1

is it safe to take a dha supplement and prenatal vitamin together while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No: Please know that any/all supplements  are not fda approved;not even looked at ! be careful , why risk your baby for any of the "supplements"?

Question 2

is it safe to take a dha omega supplement along with my prenatal vitamin while i'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Highly recommended: Congratulations!
It is not only safe to take DHA supplements during pregnancy but highly recommended, as DHA is important for the formation of your baby's brains and eyes. Prenatal vitamins are helpful too, but each does not reduce need for the other. Look for  DHA that's purified and guaranteed to be free of mercury. 
Best brand include Carlson, Nordic Naturals, Barlean's and Life Extension.

Question 3

not preg yet. i am taking nordic prenatal dha & 400iu of d3. i now realize that it lacks other recommended vitamins. if i kept taking this one, plus another prenatal vitamin, i might be taking up to 800iu of d3. is that a safe amount for pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin supplements : Although in preparation for pregnancy it may be beneficial to take vitamin supplements, prior to actual pregnancy it is sufficient to take a commercial multivitamin recommended by your OBGYN provider, as excessive D3 can be detrimental.

Question 4

i'm 11 weeks 5 days pregnant and i just started taking a dha / folic acid prenatal vitamin and i'm feeling terribly queezy for the 1st time. ?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy related. : Visit your OB/ GYN for the check up. You will get more clarifications. The above mentioned vitamins are a questionable cause for you nausea, but pregnancy does. Best!

Question 5

i'm 11 weeks 5 days pregnant and i just started taking a dha / folic acid prenatal vitamin and i'm feeling nauseous for the 1st time. should i stop?

Accepted Answer

No: Your nausea might be related to your pregnancy.

Question 6

does taking a prenatal vitamin plus dha after depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot, help you get pregnant right away? i'm sure i'm fertile. haven't always been on depo-provera

Accepted Answer

No, but...: No, the vitamins will not help you get pregnant quicker, but it is important that you take vitamins. Being on adequate folic acid before conception reduces the risk of anomalies including cleft lip, heart defects, spina bifida, and now even autism.

Question 7

i can't remember if i took my prenatal vitamin. would it hurt if i take 2 ? i take neevo plus dha

Accepted Answer

No: Taking two will not harm you or the baby.  I would not do that every day due to the excessive iron.

Question 8

is concept dha a good prenatal vitamin to take?

Accepted Answer

It's fine: Most marketed prenatal vitamins are good to take, whether this one, or just the store brand at target or the local pharmacy. Just make sure it has Folic Acid (i generally recommend 800 mcg or more, this one has 1 mg which is great).

Question 9

hi..im 28 weeks pregnant. is it safe to take 1,000mg of vitaminc and 400iu vitamin e daily?together with a prenatal vitamin.

Accepted Answer

Vitamin Supplements: The prenatal vitamin contains every vitamin and mineral supplement that you and your baby should need.  I would not recommend adding additional vitamin supplements without first checking with your OB provider.  I have seen patients develop kidney stones on 1 gram daily doses of vitamin C.  Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin that can accumulate and affect blood clotting. Please check with your OB.

Question 10

im 5 months pregnant. (prenatal vitamin:4 mg vite & 15mcg vitd3)(omega 3 capsl:120mg vite & 75ug vitd3). so is it safe to take these amounts together?

Accepted Answer

Safe to take: Are these all the supplements you are taking?  I notice that Folic acid is not on the list and it is recommended.
