Likely Iron: See your doctor and have a hemocult done on 2-3 stool samples. If you are feeling symptomatic from blood loss have a blood count checked as well, light headed or passing out. All the best and likely iron.

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?
