3rd Trimester

Anyone take extra vitamins (other than prenatal)?

I obviously take my prenatals and I also take probiotics.  I've had a cold for a while so I added in some C and D.  The nurse at my OB's office said they only recommend that I stick with the prenatals, but the amount of D is quite small in them (200iu).  I was taking an additional 1000ius.

DS #1 takes his flinstone and a probiotic.  His flinstone has 400iu of vitamin D (notice that's more than my prenatal has).  Because of all the illnesses going around and the fact that he isn't getting out in the sun as much, I got him a D supplement (an additional 400iu).  The nurse at the pediatricians office said to stick with just the flinstone and probiotic.

Is too much D bad?  Is this even too much D?  What do you take?
