    What I've read in the past is to take 2 tablets with a meal (3 times a day) daily from 32 weeks.

    Sorry to hijack your thread Fo3... but can anyone tell me, at 35 weeks is there much point to me starting to take them? I meant to start, and then just haven't yet. Could a few weeks on them make a big difference?

    I've been taking the 2g tabs, the bottle says 2 per day, Jodi you recommended 6 per day, thinking I need to up my dose, hope I haven't left it too late

    The more the merrier!!! Lol.
    Alan can you have too much? Is it bad if you have too much?
    I am thinking of swapping to tablets cause I don't always feel like tea, how big are they?? Like huge preg vitamins or smaller?? I hate big tabs and spesh if you have to take 6 a day! Maybe I'll mix tabs with tea..

    I have not heard of anyone having problems when taking more than the suggested dose but of course I would not recommend it. However if you occasionally took more than the recommended dose I would think that it would not cause any harm.

    However there are some potential side effects and although not common if you increase the doswe then you could increase your chance of these side effects. Diarrhoea, Nausea and painful Braxton Hicks.
