Question 1

does taking vitamin c cause miscarriage? is this safe?

No: Vitamin C in reasonable doses will not do anything to cause miscarriage.  Rather than spending $ on vitamins why don't you eat fresh fruits?  Best wishes and have a good baby.

Question 2

Not likely: Emergency is just vitamin c, magnesium and some electrolytes, its not likely to cause a miscarriage.

Question 4

is it advisable to use vitamin c to induce miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

No: Please don't try this. This is not effective. All of these types of options work through toxicity. The gamble is that the substance will cause more damage to the fetus than to the mother. This is not advisable.

Question 5

can taking large amounts of vitamin c induce a miscarriage at 6 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Research is limited but many women report that high doses of vitamin C (500 mg an hour) for several days taken in early pregnancy induces miscarriage. Thus, if one wants to avoid miscarriage then avoid high doses of C in early pregnancy. If one wishes to induce miscarriage it is safe to try but probably works less than 50% of the time.

Question 8

does taking vitamin c cause you a miscarriage?

Vitamins: No, vitamin c does not induce miscarriage. It is an essential water soluble vitamin that is safe during pregnancy. Excess doses may cause diarhea.

Question 9

vitamin c can cause a miscarriage. can it cause one if the egg has not been fertilized yet or is being fertilized or will it help prevent pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No, no, no, and no: Vitamin c does not cause miscarriages. Miscarriages happen frequently all over the world (to a big portion of natural pregnancies) and people take vitamin c every day, but the two things are unrelated. A woman cannot miscarry until after she is actually carrying (no such thing as miscarrying before or during fertilization). Vitamin c does not prevent pregnancy. Don't worry about eating oranges!

Question 10

is vitamin c okay to take for helping a miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

Miscarriage: I am NT aware that Vitamin C can promote miscarriage. Misoprostol and RU-486 are pills used to terminate a pregnancy.  A pregnancy can be terminated by other methods; I recommend seeing a gynecologist.
