Pregnancy Vitamin Help

I will always have a soft spot for this board.  If you don't know why, it doesn't matter.  If you do, then you'll understand without explanation.


What can I do to help you guys?  Weekly question thread?  A chat?  A class or weekly discussion topic?


I don't claim to know it all.  I never will.  But what I don't know -- I'll try to get an answer for you.

 

I think that is beyond awesome of you!

I think any of your options would be great!!! I am totally interested! Thank you!!!!

Andrea - You sent me this info once before, but of course I didn't bookmark or print it.  I'm on 4mg daily of folic acid for the MTHFR mutation.  I know that level of folic acid will skew my B-12 tests, and I know there is an alternate blood test to check for B-12 deficiency but for the life of me I can't remember or find it.  I've fought with my B-12 since surgery so I don't want to be lulled into a false sense of security when I have my labs done.  Do you have the info on the alternate blood test?

Thanks!

I know that you have helped ME so much, and I just wanted to say thank you for making yourself so available to us. My ob doctor actually tried to NOT run my vit labs on my last appointment (I havent had them at all sense I found out I was preg) When I insisted, she said ok, but I will have to have my surgeon go over the results because 'she wouldnt know what to do with any deficiencys!) So having someone with experience on here is so reassuring, specially since it takes my surgeon weeks to get back to me sometimes! :) Anyways, its great to know you're here! :)

Get your own copies and learn to read them yourself.  It's not hard :-)

Maybe a FAQ at the top? 

Ack!

Shannyn w/ OH once asked if I would do a board specific to Pregnancy vitamins.  Maybe a vitamin board with a pregnancy FAQ?

You know what I'm talking about, right?

I remember sending you some questions for a FAQ.  I just think it's less work than a class but I am 5 mos preggo and feeling lazy.

Yeah, that fell apart with a number of ... issues.
