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.

Personally I drink milk on daily basis, switched to preggy milk now. My doctor said the same but to be honest as a nutritionist I do agree. unless you are not getting enough nutrients on regular basis. Suggest to start multis, dha & even calcium when entering 2nd trimester. for myself, i would love to start them but I am super nauseous everyday, making it hard for me to get iron-containing preggy multis. so I ll start them once I am getting better hopefully by 2nd trimester
