Q: This Is Going to Sound Really Dumb...

... But I have a question.

I've heard that vitamin c is supposed to induce a period, so I would assume that it would be bad for a fetus. Does anyone know if that's true... And if it is, how much would have to be consumed to do harm?

I have never heard of that, you actually take vitamin c in ur prenatals as well milk and other foods are fortified with vitamin c dont worry

sometimes when ur pregnant people tell you the weirdest things best advice I got buy earplugs(listen to people but only take in what you want) and dont believe everything you hear

~good luck~

Lol thanks.

That's quite a relief, as I have been craving fruit (specifically oranges) a lot lately. I haven't talked to a doc about it or gotten any vitamins because, well, I haven't been to a doc yet. But i'm going tuesday, yay!

Well, it's a strange story, really. I'm 2 months late. However, i've been more than a month late on several occasions throughout the past few years... Not to mention that I very recently stopped using the patch because of health concerns, which I expected to throw me off whack. Anyway, I didn't worry about but decided to take a hpt wednesday night because, last week, I started having nausea spells and my breasts got really sensitive. It came out positive, as did the one I took the next day.

The doc's appointment is the soonest they could take me.

First pregnancy. First appointment. I'm excited, yet terrified.

And i'm not really associating the fruit cravings with the pregnancy... It's just that i've really wanted fruit lately. Lol
