Prenatal supplements and milk?

Hi! I am 10 weeks today. Had a lot of conflicting information from doctor and nurses and friends and networks on supplements. What do u follow? Taking folic acid 500mg/day through Blackmore prenatals (which included vitamins) since week 5, gynae says only folic acid needed for first trimester Since week 9, was asked to take fish oil/ DHA. Got pregnancy fish oil from gynae but they cost a bomb and no idea if the normal fish oil would be good enough. Heard that fish oil was only needed for trimester 3 but also learnt from others that they take it throughout. Wondering if I should be just taking my Blackmore throughout my pregnancy with fish oil. Will there be any issues if folic acid is taken in second /third tri since they come tgt in Blackmore? Any folic acid overdose problem? I learnt about obimin but was not given any. What about pregnancy milk? Are they needed? I am not a milk drinker so I take it through my kopi -C siew dai.... Advice anyone? Thanks!!!

Super Mum

I was given obimin throughout pregnancy and DHA in 3rd trimester. Pretty sure your Blackmore's work the same as obimin. Pregnancy milk is different from normal milk. You can request for samples from all the milk companies that make pregnancy milk - try before buying

First time see doctor, GA based on LMP was 6w2d but sac measured 5w3d, so I readjusted to 5w3d. Second time see doctor, based on readjusted date was 8w2d, but baby is 7w5d w hb. Looking back versus LMP, the growth is slow by 10 days. While I know the dates can be off, is this 10 days a bit too much? I have a scan next week but I just Want to be mentally prepared. No symptoms kind of pg I am having so feeling even more worried. Thanks!

Super Mum

For my first pregnancy, the dates were off by 10 days too. Heh. Everything was alright. Don’t worry too much. Take care:)

Home fetal Doppler, yay or nay?

Tot of buying to set my heart at ease if I can hear my baby heartbeat and saw them selling online. Did some research and learnt that it is not encouraged but I still see mummies buying.. any idea if it’s worth buying? What r the pros and cons? Thanks!

I wanted to get one too but saw online that it’s not recommended.

Can u hear / see heartbeat at this stage? What if I don’t?

Went for a scan dates 6w1d but sac measurement states 5w3d. Can see sac, can see yolk, cannot see baby and can’t heart hb. No other symptoms other than sore boobs, mild nausea. Worried :/

Week 8 onwards then will see heartbeat. Don’t worry
