Vitamin c?

[bumblebee39]

Got a super craving for soluble vitamin c in water

Had one already today, will two hurt or am I being silly and should ignore the craving?

Vitamin C is water soluble so you will pee excess out. You probably have a craving for fizzy water or fizzy orange (or whatever the flavour of the tablets are).

Fizzy orange but they are kind of mediciney/soapy almost to the taste unlike fizzy pop...

Is this a sign I'm deficient?

Got various fruit juices and some pop hopefully will do the trick... Still craving vit c so far though but stuck to one a day X

What are your iron levels like?

I had them checked 3 months ago and they were perfect (have them checked every 6 months anyway) but haven't had any bloods taken this pregnancy yet as still haven't heard back from the midwife. I don't think they'll be a problem is I eat a lot of meat and green veg and am taking my folic acid but otherwise vit c is the only supplement I take (had some in the house from when I last had a cold). Do take calcium with vit d if I know I haven't had enough sunshine and/or dairy.
I don't feel anaemic usually get symptoms as soon as its even slightly low xx

I crave oranges like mad in early pregnancy so maybe you're just like that too?! Can not get enough fruit and veg that are high in vit C. I wouldn't exceed more than 1000mgs a day of tablet/soluble vit C personally.

I am trying to substitute with other things but just craving the soluble vit c for some reason?
Really weird probably having a girl again, had some really weird cravings with my girl whereas just went out food and smells entirely with my boy during pregnancy.
