Contradicting info (again, on Vitamin C)

Invisible Pink OB RN answered 3 years ago

Its a myth that Vitamin C will stop or prevent a pregnancy from happening!

No truth whatsoever and if you take TOO much you could develop kidney stones - I promise you you don't want that!

No its not true, Vitamin C is a water soluble material so if your body takes in to much it is flushed out by your kidneys....which can cause kidney stones this would protect the fetus. Vitamin C is a way to boost your immune system not prevent pregnancy!!

This is true.
It is impossible to get hypervitaminosis C, the most you will get is diarrhoea.
I had to ask my mum, who has studied nutrition at length as I have been craving anything fresh orange related.

No, vitamin C will not cause a miscarriage. The body flushes out all additional vitamin C. Do not attempt to take too much Airborne as it can lead to kidney failure. Go see the doctor again and request the pill that causes miscarriage if you do not want to have a surgical abortion.
