I took a HPT 3 days ago and got a positive. I am only 6 1/2 months out. I was wondering about vitamins and food intake. On a regular day I take 3 chewables twice a day along with 3 citracal +d twice a day. I have added a prenatal vitamin to my nightly routine. At my husbands insisting, I have added an extra protein shake to my morning routine. Any suggestions brfore I get into the gyn?

Congratulations! Haven't had a baby post op
...yet. BUT that sounds like wayyyy to much vitamin A. I could totally be wrong, I am no doctor but I know pregnant women shouldn't take alot of Vit A. Ask your dr about it and keep us posted!

i can't speak for your ob, but mine doesn't want me consuming more than 4,000UI in one day of vitamin A. also folic acid is key pre and during pregnancy. the average is 800mcg to not exceed 1mg unless prescribed by your doctor. i'm taking 1.22mg but that's because it was prescribed to me. the big thing they say is keep eating smaller meals throughout the day instead of three big meals. i was already doing six tiny meals throughout the day so i didn't have to adjust too much to it, just making sure i got the necessary calcium and bump in calories i needed, however each doc is different with what they want you to do.

I would take out one of your multi's if you're going to continue with your prenatal. Other than that sounds lie you're doing pretty good so far. Add carbs and healthy fats back in.
