I am currently 14 weeks pregnant and I have been taking a prenatal before and during pregnancy. The company is known to use good ingredients etc but the other day I saw the B12 amount in the prenatal is 250mcg. Then I stumbled across a study mentioning high B12 in mothers may be associated with higher risk of autism in the child. Now I’m obviously anxious.
Any thoughts on this?
My supplement has 250mcg of B12 and 400mcg of folate. Both were tested before pregnancy and were pretty high as I was already taking the supplement beforehand. They measured range the lab has and both were above the range. Is that okay? They didn’t say anything. I’m worried now that what if it is too much and bad for the baby?
I am almost 14 weeks and my husband and I had intercourse, it was hurting by the opening during and I noticed a bit of blood and a small tear afterwards. I had this happen before multiple times already prior to pregnancy. However, obviously in pregnancy this makes you more nervous. Went shower and all after and no more new blood or any issues.
Is this something I need to reach out to my midwife to? I wouldn’t be concerned usually but again, in pregnancy, everything makes you overthink.
Can anyone recommend on what to do about eating at home?
Over the weekend I visited my mom and could eat no problem. She made chicken and tortellinis and pancakes and even eggs, I ate it!
At home I cannot stomach anything. My throat immediately feels closed up thinking about eating and all I could get down for breakfast was a yogurt and some crackers. Idk what to do, I feel helpless.
Does the yolk sac look normal? The technician didn’t say anything about it except that it’s good that we see the yolk sac. The scan was abdominal.
Hi there!
I am almost 7 weeks pregnant but I barely have any symptoms. I feel mostly normal. Some pain in my boobs, a bit of tiredness here and there and on some days during certain circumstances I may be a bit nauseous. Of course some food aversions etc but it’s nothing like thought it would be.
The lack of strong symptoms makes me worry a bit. Is this also normal?

I’ve been taking vitamin C 1000mg and then found out I am pregnant and didn’t take it anymore. The doctor now says I shouldn’t take it and it could harm the baby.
Now I’m freaking out a bit that I did take it before. Is it really dangerous?
Hi!
I just found out that I am pregnant a few days ago and I was taking ferrous fumarate before 200mg twice per week as prescribed by my doctor. I had my ferritin tested recently and it was at 23.
Now that I am pregnant, I am unsure whether I should continue?
I was taking it together with 1000mg of vitamin C. It’s my first pregnancy so I am quite cautious and scared.
Is it normal to have sore breasts a week before your period? I hear a lot that it is a sign of estrogen dominance and makes implantation more difficult. Would you agree?
We are TTC so just wanna check in if my progesterone levels are okay and whether sore breasts are actually an issue. I’ve always had that before my period.
Hi!
Is it fine for your luteal phase to be 12-13 days? For TTC
Hi all,
We are TTC and I found out that my ferritin was 20 2.5 months ago so I started supplements on alternating days. One day iron, the other day zinc. I’d do that on an empty stomach and away from dairy, tea, coffee etc. now I retested and it is 21. It only increased by 1 which is very discouraging.
Any ideas on what to do? What are your views on iron infusions?

Hi,
Does anyone have any tips on regulating your nervous system and getting out of flight or fight mode?
Thanks!
Hey! I am looking to maybe buy a copper bottle to support my body while I am trying to increase my iron. What are your opinions on copper and increasing ferritin? Any suggestions?
And maybe suggestions on reputable copper bottles?
