Ok, here's the thing: I was having heart palpitations before I started supplementing(I was stupid NOt to) and I'm having the following:
900 mg Magnesium daily
495 mg Potassium daily
2 capsules Taurine daily(dont remember the mg count)
2 Total Mins Multi Vit. daily

Now, my heart palps had almsot disappeared until this week when I noticed them coming back. I also took a pregnancy test today because my girlfriend kept insisting I do one while we were talking on phone! LOL Anyway, I am pretty sure I might be pregnant as I've been nauseous for two days. My period was supposed to arrive yesterday.
Here's my big question: Does anyone think that becasue I am newly prego that the current levels of my supplements are no longer enough?? Should I up my Pot. even more? I read on another thread that someone takes 2,000 mg Potassium. Is that right??

I know i need to take prenatals now but do I jsut stop taking my regular Total Mins and replace with Prenatals?? (Oh, and in case you think I'm clueless, I already have two kids but LCing is new to me and therefore I have many prego related questions)
any help would be SOOOO wonderful!
God bless you.

Lisa,

Your Low-carber mail system is FULL and must be emptied before receiving any more mail. Please send me your regular email address by private mail. The mail I have is also to large to be sent in the Low-carber system.

Do NOT use 2000 mg of potassium. Overuse of potassium is dangerous.

Your heart palpitations could be many things, not just your vits/minerals. When you go for your first ob/gyn appointment make sure you tell your doctor. During my first pregnancy, first noticed the week I found out I was pregnant, I also had heart palps. They found out I have mitral valve prolapse, not a big deal except you need antibiotics before any procedure that may involve blood.
It could also be hormonal flucuations. Don't worry, just ask you doctor.

ps. If your doctor doesn't like low-carb.. if possible, find another doctor!
