Im about 6 maybe 7 weeks preggers and have always been low on iron so my question is how can i obtain more iron in my diet before i go on an iron supplement?

mimosa asked:


Just read from the supplement watch website the following:

Choline plays a role in brain development , liver function and cardiovascular health. Choline is available in supplemental form as lecithin (or phosphatidylcholine) as well as purified choline capsules and as an ingredient in sports bars and drinks.

During pregnancy, choline intake of the mother may influence memory and brain development in the growing infant. Studies on choline and lecithin supplementation clearly show an increase in blood choline levels following supplementation with 1 – 5 grams of choline (or 5-15 grams of lecithin).

Any holy goddesses with dear little ones growing inside have tried lecithin supplement to get a genius?

Riley asked:


My prenatal OTC ones list all the different vitamins and I am also taking a folic acid supplement on top of that. My docotor prescribed something called Expecta which doesnt list any vitamins just says its a DHA supplement (omega 3 fatty acid). So can I take both? As they seem different? or would i just be having a vitamin overload?

Scenario:

18 year old girl, I’m gonna say 4 to 5 weeks pregnant.

My best friend told me she found out she is pregnant. She is excited about it but I am worried about the health of her and her baby. She is planning to keep it, please no lectures on ideals and philosophy.

My questions is what sort of vitamins should she take, if any? Pre-natal vitamins? Any specific brands?

Thank you for your time.

My wife is 20 weeks pregnant. We recently came to know that calcium and iron supplements are not to be taken at the same time.However, till the 16 th week my wife was taking both the iron and calcium supplements at the same time. However, her diet was rich in calcium and iron supplements.Will these have any effect on the fetal growth.

Christine asked:


Hi ladies,

What are the rules for drinking one cup of coffee per day, getting hair treatments, and eating a Zone bar (or other brand)? Are they safe for baby? I never exceed one cup of coffee per day, can’t handle it! But I’m also wondering if I need to cut out my yummy Zone bars which I snack on occasionally. I don’t think they have anything wierd in them, but not sure if something could be harmful.

Anything else I should avoid, besides the obvious: alcohol, smoking, drugs, etc.?

Thanks!
