Is it safe to take an extra vitamin D pill and vitamin C pill with a prenatal vitamin?

I have read that stretch marks are caused internally not externally and that vitamin C and D can help prevent them. I am currently pregnant and am taking prenatal vitamins. I do not want to take extra D and C if it is going to hurt me or my baby.

Is it safe to take an extra vitamin D pill and vitamin C pill with a prenatal vitamin?
I would not take any extra vitamins along with prenatal vitamins. I'm not sure which vitamins you take but mine has the daily recommended amount of vitamin C in them. I also do not suggest self medicating yourself (even if it is just vitamins) without consulting your physician.
Reply:D I would avoid.... just get more sunlight.


C should be fine. It's water-soluble and most of it gets flushed out anyhow.





In additional to a prenatal, look into fish oil with a good DHA balance, as well as folate.
Reply:you probably shouldn't (unless you talk it over with your doctor). if you are going to get stretch marks, there is really nothing that you can do to prevent them (if there was, then there would be NO women with stretch marks.) so don't play with the safety of your child, just take the prenatals like you should and don't add other things to them.
Reply:its ok to take as long as your only taking the daily recommended dosage and not any more then that!! good luck and congrats mommy!!
