Question 1

Accepted Answer

Your okay : Your fine. Azithromycin is fine Durring pregnancy and so are prenatal vitamins. The only potential issue is absorption of azithromycin from your stomach and the consequential effectiveness. It also might bother your stomach if taken together.

Accepted Answer

Folic acid: Recommendations are 1mg folic acid 
Extra iron and iodine in a vitamin are helpful as well but most important for fetal neurological development is folic acid and for organogenesis is iodine for thyroid support

Question 4

my ob said to take b6 and unisom for nausea. b6 is in my prenatal vitamin. can i add another b6 supp or would that be too much?

OK: This will be ok. Your body uses B6 very efficiently, and it eliminates what is not needed through urine.

Question 5

i had a mc on may, currently taking vitex and prenatal vitamin while ttc,  should  i continue to take vitex if i fall pregnant to prevent another mc?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doctor: While Vitex may help support progesterone, it is not proven to be enough to help to maintain pregnancy in women with insufficient levels of progesterone causing early pregnancy loss.  You should talk to your doctor about more sustained progesterone treatment, if this was a factor for your miscarriage.

Question 6

i take a prenatal vitamin & a one a day vitamin daily. my ferritin serum was  out of range (high)  by 15. my doctor said not to worry. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

No: You may try changing to a vitamin preparation without iron. Vitamins for men usually have less iron.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

: No problem.  Some prenatal vitamins even contain probiotics.  Your pharmacist can validate this advice. Yes, you can take them together.

Question 8

how do you tell if you od on iron? my mother told me to take a prenatal vitamin and 2 chewable childrens vitamins. i've been feeling nausiated and weak since i took them now im loosing my eyesight, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. I don't know how old you are (adult? Child?) it is usually recommended that if iron supplementation is necessary for an infant or child that it be supervised by a doctor. Here is a guide that i found while researching this answer for you. 
Infants 7 - 12 months: 11 mg daily 
children 1 - 3 years: 7 mg daily 
children 4 - 8 years: 10 mg daily 
children 9 - 13 years: 8 mg daily 
male children 14 - 18 years: 11 mg daily 
female children 14 - 18 years: 15 mg daily

an overdoes of iron can irritate the stomach wall. This can lead to ulcers with nausea and vomiting, as well as abdominal pain.  Iron can be transported in the bloodstream to other organs where it can cause damage. According to the U.S. Food and drug administration (fda), taking up to 45 mg of iron per day is safe (however, this may be for adults). I recommend that your mom talk with your doctor to ensure that if you need iron, that you are receiving the right amount.

Question 9

which prenatal vitamin should i take?

Accepted Answer

Many options: Over the counter prenatal vitamins, an adult multivitamin, or even two flintstones chewables are all good options for most healthy pregnant women.

Question 10

is it possible to take too many prenatal vitamin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Prenatal vitamins contain a few vitamins that you can take too much off. Vitamin a is the biggest concern.  In addition, most vitamins contain iron which can make you constipated.
