HELP Pregnant mummy supplements compulsory ?

Gynae gave me multi vitamin pills, calcium tablets and fish oil as daily pregnancy supplements to take. But it’s really hard to swallow so many big pills every day, is it really a must to take the 2 calcium tablets everyday and other vitamin pills ? Or is it possible to replace it with other food options or possibly there are smaller size of tablets ? I am a really bad at swallowing tablets and pills type of person >

I think it is always better to consult your gynea because she/he is the one conducts the blood tests and therefore your gynea is in a better position to advise you according to your health report. If you tend to puke these pills out, you should let her know too so that she can advise you accordingly. There are other vitamins selling in pharmacy stores in different sizes too..Do read the ingredients content and have what you and the baby need :) Food usually have the some of the vitamins but the amount in mg/g may not be sufficient to replace the assigned pills.
