I made sure to eat plenty of paneer, curd, and fortified cereals to get my B12 naturally, since I love eating! But for the actual supplement tablets, my doctor prescribed the right dose. Better to ask your doc than guess.

You can get B12 from dairy products and eggs naturally, which is always the best way. But if your levels are very low, please ask your doctor for a supplement rather than taking random doses on your own.

I'm in my second trimester now and my doctor just started me on a multivitamin that has B12. I was also a bit anxious about the right dosage. Have any of you guys had your B12 levels tested separately during this trimester?

I am currently taking a daily prenatal that my doctor gave me, which has some B12 in it. Is anyone else taking extra B12 shots or just the normal tablets? It's so confusing to keep track of all these vitamins!

Since I had a high-risk pregnancy with complications, I never took any supplement without my doctor's exact prescription. B12 is crucial, but please consult your gynac to get the safe dose customized for your blood reports.

I am currently trying to conceive and learning about prep vitamins. My doctor said B12 is very important for the baby, but she will advise the exact safe dosage once I get my blood tests done.

During my IVF journey, my doctor monitored all my vitamin levels very closely and gave me a specific prenatal with the exact B12 dosage. Please don't worry, just ask your doctor to prescribe the right multivitamin for you.

With twins, my B12 requirements were quite high, so my doctor handled my exact daily dosage. Don't try to calculate it yourself, just let your gynac write a safe prescription for you.

My doctor had prescribed a safe B12 supplement throughout my pregnancy and even after my C-section to help with my recovery and energy. Definitely ask your gynac to give you the correct, safe dosage.
