Can i take vitamin b12 while pregnant?

Yes: All b vitamins are important before and during pregnancy -- some more than others. A prescription prenatal vitamin not only will have all of your b vitamins covered, but it will also contain a full 1 milligram of folate (folic acid), which is important in preventing "neural tube defects, " or spina bifida. We recommend taking a prenatal vitamin 3 months prior to pregnancy.

Yes: Yes, but be reasonable. A good thing to take is a prenatal vitamin. If you take that and a balanced diet, you will be fine. Babies need certain amounts of vitamins, but not mega-doses. Ask you ob-gyn what a good pnv is, as they likely have all kinds of samples from various drug reps.
