When did u start to take supplement

I just visited my gynae ard 14 weeks. However, he didnt prescribe me any supplement or ask me to start supplement. He still gave me the folic acid, prenavit, and duphaston. He said my oscar test and blood test is all ok, but i seem to have iron deficiency or thalassemia, so he took blood test on me and my hubby. I am always worried that i dint take enough nutrition for my pregnancy, because i always eat outside. And i still stick to my eating habit as before pregnancy. But less fast food, i tend to eat more carbs than vege. So i take more fruits. Is it good enough? I heard that pregnant woman will take calcium, iron, fish oil supplement etc.

As long as you have a balanced diet, should be fine. For me, i just kept to the usual things that i eat (besides some loss of appetite and aversions here and there). In the second trimester onwards, doc prescribed me with fish oil and third trimester was iron pills (as i had thalessemia too). For calcium intake, i just drank milk.
