Hello Sonnyjoe1,

Did the doctor say why? Surely it's particularly important that you are getting the B12 you need during pregnancy. 🌼🌼🌼

He just said to have my normal b12 every 6-8 weeks but I drop before the next one is due so have always done my own as well every week.

Obviously I'm not qualified to give medical advice, but if I were you I'd continue taking the injections when I felt I needed them.

One of the case studies in this video shows the risks of being B12 deficient while pregnant: youtu.be/BvEizypoyO0
