My gynac told me to add more vitamin C foods like orange and amla but didnt really explain why. Im in second trimester now. Just curious how it actually helps the baby and us, anyone know?
It's a very helpful vitamin, but we have to be so careful with everything we put in our bodies. I lost a pregnancy before, so I became extremely cautious about supplements. Please let your doctor prescribe the exact vitamins you need rather than self-medicating.
When I was pregnant, I felt so tired all the time, and my doctor suggested adding Vitamin C for iron absorption. Honestly, once I started having amla and oranges, I felt a real difference in my energy levels. It genuinely made me feel more active and healthy.
It mainly helps your body absorb iron from your food, which prevents anemia. Plus it keeps your skin healthy and boosts your immunity against seasonal flu. Just have simple things like lemon water or oranges daily, it's very safe and good for the baby.
Vitamin C is good for immunity, but please don't start any supplements on your own. I had some major issues in my pregnancy and realized everything must be guided by the gynac. Always ask your doctor about the safe dosage first.
It's great for immunity, but if you're getting it from fruits, be careful about the sugar content. I had gestational diabetes and had to strictly monitor my fruit intake. Tomatoes and bell peppers are actually great low-sugar options for Vitamin C.
I'm currently trying to conceive and was reading up on this too! Apparently it helps build tissues and keeps our immune system strong. Are you taking it through natural foods or did your doctor prescribe a specific tablet?
