Do be careful with B6.  Megadoses can be dangerous.  My physician 
suggested not going over the 100 mg level, and I am not pregnant.  He
also said that 1000 + mg was PROBABLY where a dangerous dose started,
but why chance it?  I'd keep close touch with my OB.  He's getting
paid to know about such stuff.
