Baby Boy due *03/14/10* asked:


Is it bad if you take two prenatal vitamins in One Day? I think I did but I don’t remember. I just want to know what would happen if I did? Is it bad?

   no its not bad, you may just find that you have side effects if the vitamins were high concentrate ones, but it wont affect your baby.

   nothing would happen. Its fine esp if u took one when u woke up and the other at night before bed. Just pick a time and then you’ll remember easier if u took one or not…

   No worries you should be fine. If they are the kind that contain Iron then you might get a little nauseous – some people are sensitive to Iron. It makes me sick if I just take one vitamin with Iron Pay attention to your body, if you vomit more than once or get severe diarrhea then it might be time to call the nurse advice line for your area – but I really don’t think either of those things will happen.

   It isn’t really too bad. It is possible that you can poison yourself from too much iron. So don’t let it happen all the time. I took 2 prenatal vitamins each day because the bottle instructed me too. Just set a time everyday when you will remember to take your vitamin. Like as soon as you wake up. Or you could get one of those little pill boxes that have compartments for every day of the week. Then you will know that you already took it. I always had trouble remembering too. There is so much other stuff going on in pregnancy that we tend to forget even the simplest things. I hope this helps!

   Actualy it says on the back that due to the fact that prenatal vitamins contain iron if you think you may have taken too many then you should call the doctor (due to iron poisoning) i know it would take more then 2 for an adult but i dont know how much iron hurts the fetus…

   Nope. Your pee will probably be darker, and stronger colored, because your body filters all of the vitamins it can’t handle. You didn’t hurt your baby, or yourself, so don’t worry a bit.
