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.

no! 1. please don't take fish oil. you can't sure about whether it's good one or not. Bcoz if there fish liver oil, that may affect the baby. 2. if you want to take vit c, don't take as tablets alternatively, drink more oranges without accompanying the tea! 3. increase more greeny leaves n dates, it will enhance your iron but after 3 months completed. 4. if you want calcium, drink milk! that's more than enough. baby will take wisely everything from you. so don't worry. don't take any multivitamins or tablets unwantedly until 5 months finish unless your doctor's prescription. congrats & good luck! you're doing great!
