Prenatal vitamins?

My doc only told me to take folic acid, did not mention anything about prenatal vitamins. Is it ok if I take prenatal vitamins anyway? #firstmom

Hi babe, my doc only instructed to take folic acid during first tri too. But being kiasu, I asked what else I could take. He recommended these off the shelf products - 21st century prenatal vitamins, Neurogain fish oil and Caltrate calcium pills. Hope this helps :)

yes of cos. it's just that folic acid is the basic requirement. prenatal multivitamins are extra supplement. I m taking prenatal multivit, extra dha, calcium+d3

I asked about the prenatal vitamins during my 1st visit. My gynae said to wait till my 2nd trimester to take it, and just stick to folic acid for now.
