I eat a lot of oranges and amla these days plus my gynac gave me some supplements. Now im wondering if im overdoing the vitamin C. Is there a safe daily amount during pregnancy?
Honestly dont go popping extra C tablets. A normal diet with amla, oranges, lemon, guava, capsicum easily covers it, plus your prenatal has some. If you think you need more, let the doctor decide the dose.
At home we just had nimbu paani, oranges and amla regularly and that took care of it naturally. For the exact tablet amount though, trust your gynac, dont take a separate dose blindly.
Most prenatal vitamins already include vitamin C, so you usually dont need extra on your own. The exact amount depends on your needs, so please dont start separate high dose tablets without asking your gynac. Food sources are the safest way to get it.
I focused on getting it from food rather than pills, citrus fruits and amla in the morning. My doctor said the prenatal multivitamin handles the rest. No need to over supplement, more is not better here.
