Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 > Is anyone still getting their B12 shots every month? All of my bloodwork has always been in the normal range since my surgery, almost 2 1/2 years ago. Now that I'm pregnant, I found out at my first prenatal visit that my B12 was too low. Luckily, my OB/GYN ordered a B12 test since it isn't a normal blood test that they typically do on most pregnant women. Anyway, I was put on B12 shots, immediately after my 8wk prenatal visit. I even have the pleasure of giving myself the shots to save a one hour car trip into the city every week! Has anyone else started taking the shots AFTER getting pregnant? I'm wondering if it will help my energy levels any, or if I'm just suffering from typical first trimester symptoms.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Why would you need the b12 shots, if you can take a b12 over the counter, say everyday? I'm 18 mo post op, 37 weeks preggo and my high risk doc asked me about the shots and I told her i take it over the counter everyday... she never mentioned it again? (ps I'm high risk b/c of IUGR.. among other possible things...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I just starting getting B12 shots last month. I was not getting them before I was pregnant, but my surgeon suggested that I get them now that I am pregnant. It has not, however, helped with the fatigue. I'm supposed to get a second one on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
