My gynac wrote this for calcium but i forgot to ask her properly in the rush. Thoda confused if its safe to start now in 5th month. Anyone here taking the same one?
I felt so confused about supplements too! My doctor gave me Gemcal from the second trimester, and I felt it really helped with my leg cramps. But definitely check with your doctor first before starting anything.
Honestly, you should never take any tablet like Gemcal without asking your doctor. Even common calcium pills need the right dosage based on your reports. Just call your gynac's clinic to be safe.
Gemcal is usually given for calcium, but let your doctor write the dose. With twins, my doc had me on double everything and I felt like a walking pharmacy! Don't self-medicate, let your gynac decide.
Hey, don't worry, Gemcal is a very standard calcium supplement. But beta, pregnancy is a sensitive time, so pls don't take it without asking your gynac first. Just drop them a WhatsApp message and confirm.
I was prescribed Gemcal too by my doctor for bone strength, but pls check with yours first. I only take it because my gynac allowed it along with my light evening walks. Never take any supplement on your own during this time.
