Stopping B6 (18 weeks)

[MintGreenLife]

Just wondering if anyone else has taken B6 in pregnancy and when did you stop? I'm 18 weeks and I was taking it before conception for a short luteal phase, I carried on taking it as saw it's safe to take in pregnancy and recommended for morning sickness. I was taking 100mg when TTC, reduced to 50mg plus what was in my prenatal vitamin straight away, then to 25mg at around 13/14 weeks. I've stopped taking it the last couple of days as didn't think I would need it any more, but not sure if it's OK just to stop? Has anyone done this? I'm taking the Zita West pregnancy vitamins which has 20mg of B6 in anyway. Thanks x

If you are taking a multivitamin you do not need to take any extras unless the doctors recommend them.
Common to have extra iron or folic acid on prescription.

Anyone that's had any experience of this?

Yes me! I was taking 50mg and pregnacare, then at 5-6 weeks pregnant I just cut out the 50mg and carried on with pregnacare. All was fine

Hi @MintGreenLife in very interested in this, I also started taking B6 for LP.... I am now 5 weeks pregnant but scared to stop taking it in case I'm 'relying' on it in some way at this early stage. I am still taking 100mg and very keen to reduce this.
Could I ask at what week you switched to 50 and if you had any side effects?

Thanks @Nazz10 I stopped taking the extra b6 about 5 day’s ago now. Baby has been active everyday so that’s put my mind at rest ☺️

@glow92 I totally understand this - I ended up taking a small amount until 18 weeks ‘just in case’. I stopped taking the 100mg I was taking for my LP as soon as I got my BFP I believe. I switched to 50mg plus the 20mg in my pregnancy supplements, then reduced that again to 25mg after 13 weeks. Hope that helps x
