I'm taking Blackmores pregnancy and Breastfeeding Gold and wondered if it was safe to take 'FAB Iron+b complex and vinc' with it? Last pregnancy I was low iron and I think I am getting that way again. Thanks

Anyone? I'm struggling to find a resource online to confirm safe levels of vitamins in pregnancy and don't see my OB for another month.

I took Ferro Grad C with my Blackmores, on advice from the OB after I tested low in iron. Maybe ask the chemist or can you ring the OB's rooms and leave a question for her to get back to you with? I could email a question to mine and the reception ladies would call me back with the answers. I think it's mostly excess vit A which is the main problem in pregnancy.
