When I conceived DS 3 I was taking Women's One a Day (has cal-mag in it), Vitamin D, and both green tea and black tea every day. Also taking Tums for heartburn at least once a day and usu more. Eating garlic regularly and doing wheatgrass juice off and on when I could stand it.

With DS 4 I was taking the Women's One a Day, Vit. D, 4000 mcg of folic acid, 100 mg B6, a LOT of cal (I'd have to look it up but it was like 1200 a day plus diet), 250/300 mg magnesium, and DHA supps. Oh yeah and vitex.

Now I'm taking Women's One a Day, 1200 mcg of folic, DHA supps, and vitex, plus black tea every day and green tea a few times a week, occasionally a potassium when I feel like my blood pressure is high (3-4 times a week), and hoping for an oops, pref. a blue one!

[atomic sagebrush]

Zinc is prob. more important for DH to take.

b12 is stored up in your body and is in ample supply in the blue diet so no need for you to take it, but you might want to have your husband take it if he won't eat the diet.

Vit E will be in the prenatal vitamin so I wouldn't worry about it. (actually zinc and B12 will prob. be in there too.)
The one thing I do think you should take is Vit. D (400 iu in addition to the 400 that will prob. be in your prenatal.). I know it is a traditional pink swaying supp but I think it's better for blue. The only reason I am not taking it now is because I've been taking it for several years and I'm worried because it can be stored up in the body, so I'm taking the summer off of taking it and just getting a lot of sunshine.

Gotcha!

I remember you saying that too much zinc is bad for DH. He is taking a daily multi vitamin that has 11mg in it. Is this enough? I also have a supp that is 50mg, but I think you said the two together were too much. How about the multi vitamin plus HALF the supp--so about 36mg a day? Still too much?
