Vitamin issues :(

Hi, I am giving birth in 11 weeks and truthfully, I have not taken any vitamins- mainly because of how big it is and how I can’t swallow it. So far, I’ve only managed to maintain follic acid and vitamin d. But I’m starting to get worried since people have been telling me my stomach is really small as compared to people who are 4/5 months in. Any suggestions on what other vitamins I could take? Or any other options for my baby to look big? #1stimemom #firstbaby #pregnancy #bantusharing #1st_pregnancy

Hello! I have problem swallowing/ eating/ biting big pills. What I did was I have been eating Smartypants prenatal gummy bears, folic acid, maltofer iron syrup and enfamama chocolate maternal milk since first trimester. I am now 35 wks pregnant and both baby and myself are doing well with no other complications. Last tues I went for checkup and baby is abt 2.1kg cus of my diet as well. I feel really uncomfortable when I ate too much like my whole tummy is stretched and I can’t sit well like something bunging between my chest and tummy. 🥲 Before pregnancy I was 46kg and now I am weighing 54kg w baby. And yes my baby is only 2.1kg as of last tues but what matters most is both of us are healthy and she is already at head down position. Guess I’ll be seeing her soon! 😊 Hope the above helps and jiayous soon to be mummy! 🙆🏻‍♀️
