CPS was able to help Rebecca Scheiring straighten her life out after she was still addicted to meth while pregnant with twins. Her boys are now healthy, but new laws may restrict what CPS can do for pregnant women in the future. KXLY4’s Kalae Chock reports.
I know that when you’re pregnant with one baby, most people don’t really start to show until after a few months. I was wondering if you show much earlier when pregnant with twins? Do you basically get bigger twice as fast?
I heard so much about prenatal vitamins growing hair. How much growth did you get from taking them? How long do you have to wait to see results?
So I recently read about the problems with having too much Vitamin A (in its fake form) while pregnant, and now I’m worried I’ve been eating too much Vitamin A. First of all, my vitamin contains 2700 I.U. of Vitamin A in the form of Vitamin A Palmitate. Then I also eat Pop Tarts, which have 10% of the D.V for Vitamin A in the form of Vitamin A Palmitate and also I ate cream cheese which has 6% of the D.V for Vitamin A in the form of Vitamin A Palmitate. I eat about 2 Pop Tarts a day and I just finished off the cream cheese which had about 2-4 servings left.
Now I’m worried I could have eaten too much! How much is too much? Do you think that it’ll be ok?
Due to Depoprovera causing bone density loss, I have been taking 800 IU of vitamin D with calcium supplements and have continued through my pregnancy. Now I’ve read that too much vitamin D can cause mental retardation, etc. in a fetus. Is 800 IU too much for a pregnant woman? Or is the number for overdose in the 1,000’s? I’m scared because I hope I didn’t already cause irrepairable damage to my baby.
