Most importantly is folic acid during your 1st trimester. Have you gotten a referral from Polyclinic to your preferred govt hospital? If you just walk in to any hospitals, it’ll be under private and all your bills will cost more than subsidised route. Drinking milk during pregnancy depends on individual. For me, I hate all kinds of milk except HL and Meiji so I didn’t drink any during my pregnancy. FYI, bear in mind that HL is not pure milk. If you can tolerate milk during your pregnancy then go ahead. But make sure you’re taking folic acid too. In 2nd trimester onwards, doc will usually provide you with Obimin, so you can stop the folic acid.
