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 took 0 supplements! I didn’t do any Down syndrome test and glucose test either! Baby is all healthy! I’m a First time mom and I see no need for any of those supplements because it can easily be replaced by food! If low in calcium then just eat food with high calcium if low in iron just eat more red meat and greens!
