I have a bit of a sore throat and am running a low grade fever. I went to the store to stock up on my usual remedy: EmergenC, a drink mix with 1000 mg of vitamin C in it. But then when I was in the store, I remembered something I read once about some women inducing an early abortion with vitamin C.

Does anyone know what the safe dose is? If I'm preggo, I don't want to risk causing a miscarriage just to cure my sore throat.

P.S. I would look it up myself right now, but I'm on my MIL's computer and I SO don't want the search terms in her computer for her to see them, lol.

I have to check about the specifics but, I seem to remember that you shouldn't over due Vit. C in pregnancy. Though, as far as I know eccinacea is safe.
