Doc gave me some tablets at my first visit but I forgot to ask whether to take before or after khana. Bit confused about timing yaar. How do you all manage them?
Listen, just take them after a good meal, especially iron, otherwise it can cause acidity. And please don't stress too much if you miss a dose occasionally, just take it when you remember. Keep a cute pill organizer to make it easy for yourself, okay?
I've started taking folic acid now since we are planning, and I usually take it right after dinner with water. Are there other supplements like calcium that they add later once you conceive? Let me know what your doctor advised you so I can also keep in mind!
Please don't take any pregnancy pills or supplements based on online advice or what others do. Every pregnancy is different, and only your gynac can prescribe the correct dosage and timings for iron, calcium, or vitamins. Check with your doctor first and strictly follow their guidelines.
Oh, I used to set three different alarms on my phone so I never missed my iron and folic acid pills even by a minute! Make sure you don't take calcium and iron together because they block each other's absorption, which always made me so worried. Please keep checking your prescription twice to be absolutely safe.
