I am 11 weeks pregnant, visited two gynae. 1st Doctor just prescribe folic acid, said my stage doesn't need calcium yet. I dun think provide enough nutrient for baby, so I am wondering whether to take fish oil, calcium & vitamin c from 3 months onwards. I asked 2nd doctor he also said just need folic acid for current stage, but my next check up baby is already 4 months. I hv a friend who is 3 months pregnant, doctor prescribed multi vitamin, calcium & fish oil. Any advice? 1st time pregnant lack of knowledge and worried of baby growth.

first trimester only need folic acid. 3rd month onward Dr will prescribe multi vits. anyway I didn't take the multi vits dr prescribe since I can't swallow it so I only take chewable iron in the morning and chewable calcium at night on my 2nd trimester onward. Dr said it's alright as long as we eat balanced food intake. so far I am on my 32 weeks and everything is alright, baby didn't grow overweight nor underweight either and hopefully baby can wait till full term 40 weeks only come out XD
