supplements & dr luke's book

did anyone take all those supplements she required?
I take a PNV with the dha/fish oil but she recommends all those mineral supplements with a basic multivitamin. I can't quite imagine taking 11 or 12 additional pills- I don't have nausea now, but that would be sure to do it to me... lol.

Just curious! thanks.

I didn't really adhere to her advice on supplements. I took my PNV, extra fish oil and calcium and I took extra folic acid.

Thanks!

When you say extra folic acid, do you mean over 1mg/1000mcg? I didn't think that was recommended except in women who have had previous babies with neural tube defects, but I'm trying to find info on differences w/ multiples & can't find it.

i take primacare one - which has dha/fish oil, and my OB rx'd an additional folic acid suppliment (not sure the strength)... said he does it for multiples always.

Just the PNV and toward the end an iron pill a day DR. recs.

I am taking my PNV, fish oil and an iron supplement. According to the dr, the iron is for me. She said babies are very rarely anemic- they just take all the iron from their mom.
