Regarding Supplements

My question is how much calcium is everyone talking ? ( I need more for twins)

and is anyone talking an iron supplement as there is not much in Elevit ?

What can you take for foot cramps - I read somewhere magnesium is good for this ? This morning driving DS to school I had excrutiating feet cramps - very hard to drive with them.


? on Iodine - our diets are apparently deficient in iodine and they recommend we use iodised salt - does anyone have any info on this ?

Tegan - Blackmores Pregnancy has folate in it - though I am not sure how much - it is less than Elevit. Many ladies are taking Elevit which has 800mg in it - only have to take one a day and not as chunky as Blackmores (you take 2 of these) and when you are nauseous it can be hard to get them down or to stay down. Goodluck this month.

Some people do continue to take more as per Dr's - those at high risk of neural tube defects etc.
