So many vitamins...

Is it normal for gynae to spam all the vitamin B, D3, omega, fish oil, probiotics, calcium? I'm shocked at how much vitamins to take when I never used to... #1stimemom #firstbaby

i think depends on your gynae because i believe if u have a well balanced diet, the rest are really, like they call it supplements. my gynae only prescribed folate and ustrogen for my first trim. and now in my second trim, because i can’t take pills, will vomit when i do so, she has asked me to just go on iherb and buy some prenatal gummies. best check with your gynae on what’s best for u :)

I guess it depends on the gynae and your condition ? I don't remember taking so many supplements. maybe you can asked your gyne which is the one necessary to have. I always believe in discussing with your gyne. need to trust them ... maybe your body just need all those supplements!

if you are having a nutritious and well balanced diet, u can probably skip them. Otherwise, you may consider taking them. you can however buy it on your own from pharmacy instead cos it will be cheaper. Folic acid better to take though.

I would say trust ur gynae since u choose him/her. He would know what’s best for ur condition and yes I did have a lot of supplements during my pregnancy last time too! 😉

Your gynae will usually prescribe you what they think is best for you. Thru out your pregnancy, your gynae may stop some of the vitamins as well :)
