My doctor gave folic acid but my MIL keeps saying take a multivitamin also for strength. I dont want to take anything extra on my own. Do most of you take multivitamins during pregnancy or just whatever doc prescribes?
My gynac put me on a prenatal multivitamin with folic acid and iron from the start. She explained folic acid is important early for the baby. But dont pick one yourself, let the doctor prescribe the right one for u.
The ones doc prescribes are enough, no need to buy fancy expensive bottles. I just took mine after lunch so it didnt upset my stomach. Simple and worked fine.
My mother always said eat well first, vitamins are a support not a replacement. I followed that but still took what my doctor gave. Balance both calmly and u will be fine.
I took whatever my doctor gave along with my thyroid meds and got my levels checked regularly. Multivitamins are usually part of pregnancy care but dosage depends on ur reports. Keep up the follow ups.
