Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Pregnancy Questions: Of course it is safe to walk or participate in moderate exercise. I would bet there would be a whole section about this in your prenatal book that you are reading. Every pregnant women should have such a guide book for the times they wonder about all of life's various issues during pregnancy. I know every OB i know recommends this for their patients.

I read that taking extra Vitamin D3 besides the 400 UL in the Prenatal has benefits. I bought an extra 1000 UL of Vitamin D3 so a total of 1400 UL I'm taking. Is it safe and does it really have benefits in preventing pregnancy issues?
