I am taking a prenatal vitamin now and was wondering if I could boost my vitamin C for this flu season by taking an extra vitamin C during the day. Is that safe? Anything else I could take to help my immune system that is safe?
Answer
i was taking regular vitamins, but when i told my doc, she immediately told me to stop because you don't want to give your body too much...there are certain vitamins that are not good for the baby to have too much of.....and that's why pregnant women have prenatal vitamins!!
here is some info for you
"You should consume a normal amount of vitamin C when you're pregnant. The recommended daily amount is 85 mg for pregnant women age 19 and older. The maximum is 2,000 mg per day.
If you're taking prenatal vitamins, you'll be getting vitamin C in that supplement. You'll also get some from the food you eat. If you decide to take more, remember to keep the total under 2,000 mg."
"Vitamin C itself is safe, but it's prudent not to take mega-doses when you're pregnant.
Your best bet is to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, and make sure you're eating at least one food rich in vitamin C every day, such as orange juice, kiwi, red pepper, or strawberries. If you're taking a prenatal vitamin, you're probably getting plenty of vitamin C, so there's no need to take another supplement."
What are the best food sources?
Citrus fruits, tomatoes, tomato juice, potatoes, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, and spinach are all good sources. It's best to get your vitamin C from fresh sources such as these:
⢠8 oz. orange juice: 124 mg
⢠1 papaya: 93.9 mg
⢠1 cup strawberries: 84.5 mg
⢠8 oz. grapefruit juice: 72 mg
⢠1/2 cup boiled broccoli: 58.2 mg
⢠1/2 pink or red grapefruit: 23.4 mg
⢠1 cup raspberries: 30.7 mg
⢠1/2 mango: 28.7 mg
⢠1 tomato: 23.5 mg
⢠1/2 boiled cabbage: 18.2 mg
⢠1/2 cup boiled beet greens: 17.9 mg

Taking prenatal vitamins can i get pregnant?
Karen
Been taking prenatal vitamins for 3days now so is there a chance that they will work (spring valley) and been having unprotected sex for 4months now today so just want to know could i become pregnant anytime soon?
Answer
NATAL = Delivery or giving birth of a baby.
PRE-NATAL= Before giving birth
Pre-natal Vitamin= Vitamins for the pregnant ladies. containing all the necessary vitamins and minerals for the lady and the her gestation.
In another way, it is like possessing a car without the knowing or having licence to drive
Now follow my protocol to increase your chances of conception:
1. Determine your day of ovulation using Ovulation Test Kits. In Ladies with REGULAR CYCLE You need to test from the 10th to 18th day of your cycle. (First day of bleeding is the First day of the cycle).
2. Unprotected sex on the day or on the eve or one day after ovulation will yield good result. So calm down and get yourself composed. Any form of STRESS will get you away from your goal.
- Plan a vacation, far away from the madding crowd, coinciding with your ovulation period. Suggest natural water fall or mountainous resort.
3. Get your hubby's seminal fluid examined by a reputable laboratory. Your hubby needs three days of sexual absenteeism (including masturbation) for the test. Since spermatozoa are easily perishable outside the reproductive system, your hubby has to go the laboratory, masturbate and ejaculate into the sterile container and hand over then and there, for the examination.
- Plus some fine tips below, to follow:
i. Determine your ovulation day, using the Ovulation kit.
ii. Coincide unprotected sex to the Ovulation (Eve / on the very day of ovulation / the very following day after ovulation ). Ovum released can survive only for 24 hours.
iii. Plenty of love making / foreplay prior to the actual act, because that will well lubricate your reproductive tract and remove the Vaginal acidity. Vaginal acidity can destroy the spermatozoa.
iv. Elevate your Pelvis, with a pillow, at least prior to ejaculation. . Missionary position with your legs on your hubby's shoulder. This will provide a deep penetration and deposition of semen deep inside the vagina, almost at the lips of the cervix and to ensure the smooth flowing of semen into the cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes.
v. Try to reach climax/female orgasm at the time of ejaculation, so that your cervix will literally suck in all the ejaculatory fluid. For completion sake, I had given the additional benefits of female orgasm below
a. If your orgasm is always late or your hubby is having premature ejaculation, begin the sex in Reverse missionary (with you on the top).
b.Reverse Missionary aids in two ways-
Firstly the women will attain orgasm earlier because of the stimulation of G spot
Secondly it also delays the premature ejaculation
Female Orgasm keeps the woman lying down for some time. This resting, passively retaining sperm and increasing her probability of conception. . British biologists, Robin Baker and Mark Bellis team counted sperm from over 300 instances of human copulation and found that a woman climaxes any time between a minute before to 45 minutes after her lover ejaculates, retains significantly more sperm (In non orgasmic, she hardly retain any sperm)..
vi. Try to lie on your back for at least 4 to 5 hours after sex, so that even the slow-moving or the late comer spermatozoa too will find the way into the female reproductive system.
vii. Strictly no washing, immediately after sex, especially on or around the day of ovulation.
Last but not the least, Sincere Prayers to the Almighty
