Prenatal vitamins when to take it?

Hi all when do you start taking prenatal vitamins? I'm seeing a private gynae, I am currently 6 wks base on the gestational size. My gynae never prescribe any to me so far le.. Any good brands to recommend? #advicepls #firsttimemom #firstbaby

My gynae also didnt prescribe anything in w6. But he asked me to take folic acid. The second time i saw him when i was on w9 then he prescribed me prenatal and fish oil

My OB advised me to take only follic on my whole 1st tri. And only asks me to take fish oil, calcium and multivit on my 17weeks.

Folic acid from day 1. Multivit, calcium and fish oil tablets on week 12 onwards. Doc will prompt you🙆🏻‍♀️

I've been taking fish oil and folic myself for a very long time.. Like more than a year..

I forgot when was mine prescribed but yeah, just request from your gynae. My gynae uses “Prenavit”.

1st trim only folic acid. My gynae prescribed multivits and DHA to be taken 12 weeks onwards. :)
