I would like to know if it is dangerous for baby if I accidentally took my Materna twice in one day?

This is the first time this has happened to me. I'm 28 weeks pregnant and I have a blank in my memory as to whether I took my materna once or twice in a day.

Hello Ma'am,

No, there is no need to worry. The baby will not feel this double take. The only risk in my opinion is that you will develop constipation because of the too much iron intake (and the fact that pregnant women are at increased risk of constipation).

Happy day :)
