Vitamin C during pregnancy?

Hi ladies, wanted to get a second opinion as I don’t have a fixed gynae. Did any of your gynaes tell you if it’s ok to take vitamin c (like those 1000mg effervescent tablets)? Before pregnancy, I always took it and found it to be quite useful in preventing sickness. I’m not so sure now that I’m 7-8 weeks pregnant 😅 Anyone knows? Trying to build up my immunity :p

im curious to know if we can continue to take vit c supplements too. My first Gynae visit is in 2 weeks' time. Did your first gynae mention anything?

Congrats! The gynae I saw mentioned that I can take it… but a GP said no use. And overall he just mentioned taking folic acid. I just thought I would seek a second opinion…

Hi! My gynae recommended drinking the vitamin c tablet (redoxon) so that’s what I’m doing now, on top of the folic acid meds

i was taking 1000UI too but gynae said too high dosage and told me to stop..
