can i?

[forgiveand4get]

can I double up on m prenatal vitamins today if i missed 3 of them? would that cause any problems??

Other than making you sick to your stomach, probably not. If it were me, I'd just take 1 b/c there's really no reason to double up. Missing 3 days is not going to do any harm. I couldn't take them when I was pregnant and all of my kids were born perfectly healthy

I would not recommend doubling up. Just take the regular daily dose. You can cause more problems by overdosing on vitamins.

There's no need to double up. Prenatal vitamins contain more than what you actually need in a day, so even if you miss a couple each week there's no problem.

Totally agree. Its not good to take too much. Most vits are water soluble and will be excreted in your urine, no harm there, but some are a fat soluble and take a long time to go thru the body and can build up an cause issues.

as well as you always have to take into account the prenatal vitamins that have iron in them, too much can be harmful to both you and the baby. As with any medication, if you miss a pill either take it immediately after or just skip it and continue with a new day.
