A member asked:
Forgot i had taken a prenatal vitamin and took another minutes later. is there an adverse reaction for doubling the dosage? 37w3d pregnant today.

Pregnancy brain: Not to worry, a one time extra dose of prenatal vitamins will not harm you or your child. Your body will eliminate most of the excess vitamins. Just don't make a habit of it due to potential for overdose of vitamin A and D.
