What is a safe amount of iron and vitamin b12 to take when pregnant?

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and want to see if taking an iron and vitamin b12 supplement will make me feel a little better. I've tried taking things like pregnacare, but they make me sick so I figure I may be better off taking supplements.

What is a safe amount of each of these for me to take?

Thanks in advance!

    Your doctor is the best person to advise you, but I know that B6 is much more important than B12 during pregnancy. My doctor told me to take 100mg of B6 twice daily.

    You need to ask your Dr.
