Oh no... these aren't like Flintstone chewable vitamins...they are SO much better! At the time I was prego I read online that docs recommend them to ladies that get sick from taking prenatal vitamins! :)Quote:

YEP that's what I think!!! LMAO
Doubling up once will not hurt anything, esp. this early on, and esp. with Flintstones vitamins which are not super high doses. If you do it for weeks and months on end, esp. in the latter half of the first trimester, it's just not a good idea (Vit. A in supplement form has been strongly linked to birth defects.) You just don't NEED to double up on vitamins, it's an old wives tale because you just don't need the megadoses of vitamins, breastfeeding or no. I'd rather see you find a prenatal gummy rather than the Flintstones ones to be sure you're getting the right combo of nutrients. The Flintstones are lacking in some nutrients you could benefit from and then have the Vit. A which you should be taking only a small amount via supps. They do have iodine which is good, so if you decide not to use them any more and your new vites don't have iodine, be sure to eat iodized salt.
You should probably (esp. coming off the bleeding) be on some form of iron to provide 100% ADULT iron needs. the downside of iron is that it upsets your stomach, so if the reason you're taking the Flintstones is because you get sick from reg. prenatals, an iron supplement is going to make you queasy.
I never test until I'm pretty damn sure I'm pg. I hate getting neg pregnancy tests.Quote:

That's why I'm not testing because of all the negatives for basically 15 months str8 but I did buy first response at walmart & there's an extra test in the box so I guess I'll have extra if needed right ? I'm just too scared of getting a negative and hurt. When everyone around u puts it in ur head and makes u wonder and start to believe it's heartbreaking to see it's negativeQuote:
