Orange - citrus

in May 2016 Moms
Hello all. I'm at 13 weeks. I've found myself eating up to four oranges a day for the past week. Now I'm worrying about the amount of vitamin C in my system and the effects on my baby. Any words of advice?

    I craved citrus like CRAZY with my two girls!! I even had a large trace of vitamin C in my pee at one of my check-ups because of it haha :) My midwives said eat up, you'll pee out what your body doesn't need to absorb.

    Go ahead! Vitamin C is one of those awesome vitamins where your body takes in what it needs and expels the rest.

    I doubt you're going to take in more vitamin c than is good for you unless you're taking a massive vitamin c supplement. Four oranges is like half a cup of orange juice, and that never hurt anyone!

    I'm so relieved. Google scared me. The thing that I can't resist is eating them in cold slices. Omg. ^-^

    What's funny is that my boy girl feeling is changing- I'm beginning to think I have a little girl forming in me. Bum bum bum. We will see soon enough. Thank you for your replies ladies!

    Like PP said, excess vitamin c is excreted. If you're really worried, just increase your water intake. I ate tons of oranges and clementines when pregnant with DS--several per day, easily.

    I'm eating lots of citrus too! It's so refreshing!

    If I start getting a headache I immediately reach for an orange or tangerine to get some glucose and it really helps!

    I've never loved fruit so much in my life.

    LadySamLady I've had bad headaches. I never thought that citrus might be a good antidote. I'm going to try it!

    My doctor recommended it and I've been surprised how well it's working for me!! Let me know if it works for you! If I'm having a particularly bad one I'll have an orange and a small cup of tea and that does the trick!

    Cold clementines are my favorite thing, last time too. Knock on wood, last time I ate clementines like crazy all during flu and cold season and never got sick. I'm sure it was more to do with a ton of hand washing and some luck, but I don't care. Bring on the cold clementines.
