Can i take vit e during pregnancy in first trimester?
I usually take Vitamin E supplements for my skin and hair. I just found out I'm pregnant and am in my first trimester. Is it safe to continue taking it?
Actually, you should never take any random supplements like Vitamin E without a doctor's green light, especially in the first trimester. I had a few complications early on and my doctor was very strict about only taking prescribed medicines. Please ask your clinic first.
I couldn't even digest water in my first trimester, let alone extra vitamins. Usually, doctors only prescribe folic acid in the starting months. Please check with your gynac before taking any self-prescribed Vitamin E.
Yaar, first trimester is super sensitive, so don't self-medicate at all. Actually, your doc will give u a specific prenatal multivitamin that already has everything you need. Just give them a call and ask.
In our family, we usually prefer getting nutrients from natural food like almonds rather than pills. My doctor only advised folic acid in the first three months. Please talk to your doctor before buying any over-the-counter vitamins.
I am also planning right now and reading a lot about this. I heard that high doses of Vitamin E can sometimes be risky during early pregnancy. Better to just let your doctor decide the exact dosage for you.
