Help...

Hi there everyone!  So I had the RNY 2 and a half years ago and went from 400 to 200lbs which I am greatful and proud of everyday.  I have recently found out that I was pregnant and am concerned....Hoping for some information and not critical remarks...So...here we go...I am curious if anyone knows anything about pregnancy and the vitamin needs.  I do not see my OB until tues...my nutritionist until next tues and my prim. doctor called me back today with some vitamin levels that I had ordered when I went this past week to her.  She seemed unsure of TX and told me to consult OB and my nutritionist....well it is Fri and after 5....so no luck there..I am currently taking prenatal vitamins and thats all due to me not being sure of what to take.  Apparently My vitmin D is low...18....and B-12 came back 229....everything else she said was great.  Any suggestions for what to do if anything over the next few days as far as vitamins? Thanks guys! 

Congrats to you!!  Since your D is low you need to add in DRY Vit D.  Mine is low too.  I am by no means a vitamin expert.  There are really great ladies on this board who know a bunch about them but I will tell you what I take.

Prenatal Vitamin
Dry Vit D 50,000 IU to get my number up, will be rechecked soon to see where it's at
1500 mg of calcium citrate (spaced into 3 500 mg doses)
sublingual B12
additional multi vitamin
folic acid

I was also told that my iron is low and they checked it again last week and I may have to add iron in.  Good luck to you!  You will do great!!

Oh and I just noticed that you are from Bangor.  I don't see alot of people that are from Maine.  I live in the Lewiston/Auburn area.

I wanted to say congrats! I don't think you will receive any critical remarks. You are having a baby! YAY!! As far as vitamin lvls go..Make sure you are getting folic acid.. which should be in your prenatal.. and then add in what you know you are low on. Your OB will be drawing blood at some point as well and ask them to add in your vitamin lvls to the draw. Or another one of your dr's can do it. Which ever works out for you. And then get them checked again about your 2nd tri.

You should be great. Congrats!! Wishing you a happy and healthy 40 wks.

congrats on both your new baby and weight loss!.... as far as vitimans.. i just replaced my multi with a prenatal and kept everythign else the same!
