When I recommended B6, I neglected to say what doses my wife took.  She
only got what most doctors recommend as a suppliment:  I think no more
than 50mg per day usually 25mg in the am and 25 in the pm  ( the am was
with the Bcomplex + zinc and the pm dose was just B6.  Certainly do not
take mega-doses of B complex (or any other vitamines) during pregnancy
except under a doctors orders...
