A member asked:
I'm pregnant (12+3 weeks), and my cravings are citrus (oranges, lemon, kiwi), i eat a lot of it everyday. could too much vitamin c harm the fetus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly yes: There is a theoretical (not proven) risk of miscarriage and fetal issues with too much vitamin C. If all you are eating is citrus fruits, please consider eating a more well rounded diet. If you are eating a few fruits a day along with other foods, you should be ok!
