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.

My doc prescribed Folic Acid and D3 vitamin ( based on my blood test I had D3 deficiency in some level) only, in 2nd trimester (week 15) she prescribed me pregnant care vitamins. 11th week is the time baby's neural system is developing the most basic thing is folic acid. So don't worry but eat very healthy. Do not forget walnut, red fruits (berries), dried or fresh apricots, spinach, salads, and raisin if you can find some and you don't have any allergy to it. Avoid dishes which have Mercury during pregnancy. Stay safe and healthy.
