Vitamin D supplement query - too much?

Question

My Obgyn prescribed me a Vit D supplement. 
I already take a daily prenatal which is 30mcg (says 200% RDA). 
She also prescribed me these daily Calcium tablets which also have Vitamin D in and it says it’s 100% of RDA - 5 and a little symbol I can’t replicate like a u and a g! 
Then there is the Vitamin D supplement itself which is one a WEEK, 10,000 IU. 
They are all D3... I don’t know it just seems a lot? Does anyone have any info on D3 supplements and can you take too much? I know with some supplements if you take too much the excess just gets flushed out. 
Thanks in advance xx

Answer

D-vitamin is one of the ones that you can overdose on! So definitely ask if she think you need that much.

Answer

Do you have a vitamin D deficiency? My sister was put on 50,000 iu for 6 weeks, then it was lowered to 10,000 because she has a deficiency. I would still check with your doctor if you have questions either way

Answer

It's really really hard to overdose on vitamin D if you're deficient and once you're pregnant it's even harder to build those levels back up. Definitely ask your Dr though! ❤️ 
I've been on vitamin D daily since I started pregnancy, (one 50,000iui/week and a much smaller dose (can't remember how much) daily. It's also super nice because you can avoid the vitamin K given at birth if you take vitamin D, bc often it has a good amount of K in it to help absorption!

Answer

I take 50,000 a week so you’re probably good (:

Answer

Don’t worry about the RDA - it’s the absolute minimum amount you need daily before deficiency. The calcium and multi will contain a small amount- and you have one high dose one. 
Do you know your vitamin d level? If it’s low that amount or more is needed to increase it. Many need 4000iu a day. 
I’m you won’t overdose on Vit d unless your levels are already quite high.

Answer

I’d ask a pharmacist too. Sometimes doctors don’t know as much about medicine and vitamins as they think they do.

Answer

Ask the doctor. Because you can overdose vitamin d.
Are these all tablets? Just plain dry tablets? And do you have a deficency? Or you have a caltaium/magnesium deficency?
There is vitamin d in your caltsium and magnesium tablets because vitamin d is responsible for letring ca and mg absorb better so they should be taken together. But as vitamin d is fat soluble, then you need to eat it with fatry foods, so usually d3 is in fish oil captules to help it absorb also. If your tablets are plain dry tablets and you don't take them with fatry foods usually, actually tests can show you have low level of vitamin d and you might need more... But to be on the safe side I would truly talk it trough with doctor just in case.
