Traditional Chinese Herbs or Western multi vitamins

Dear mums, As you enter the 2nd trimester, do you rely on multi vitamins prescribed by the Gynae or go beyond that with Bird nest, red dates, etc? Thanks

It seems like the replies are from those without morning sickness and have no trouble having the best of host worlds. For those with morning sickness, how do you cope?

i had bad morning sickness, it lasted beyond second trimester n then appeared again in third. i didnt take any herb or medication, just the vitamins doc prescribed, i just eat whatever i want instead of controlling my diet as i wouldnt be able to get food down if i only had limited options n just sleep alot or stay in bed as much as u can, when u walk, walk slowly n dont think of anything that u know will trigger u

Both, I take multivitamins and see tcm regularly. I also take some Chinese soups suitable for pregnancy without those heaty herbs.

More on multi-vitamins and a healthy diet ie a lot of fruits, reduced unhealthy food, sugary drinks etc.
