HELP Pregnant mummy supplements compulsory ?

I was prescribed the same dosage as you: 2 Calcium pills, 1 multivitamin pill, 1 fish oil capsule. I would still have them all because scientifically speaking, the same nutrients will only be 10% absorbed by your body from natural sources like food; but via these concentrated slow-release pills the absorbent rate can be as high as 40%. This is because the quantity of food we eat to obtain specific nutrients is still considered insufficient given that 1) your own body absorbs as well, and 2) the food source contains a mixture of other nutrients (i.e. not just pure Calcium, or pure fish oil) that may hinder your and your baby's absorption rates. So as a fellow mum-to-be, I'd still highly recommend taking those pills. Break them in halves whenever necessary. If things are still tough, speak your gynae about it for further advice.
