Just found out im expecting and the doc gave me a few tablets to start. I always thought no medicines should be taken during this time so im a little surprised. What all do they usually give? curious to know.
Mostly its folic acid, iron, calcium and sometimes vitamin supplements that get prescribed. But the exact list is decided by your gynac based on your reports. Dont go buying random supplements, let her guide.
Both times it was the usual folic acid, iron, calcium combo plus whatever extra for my symptoms. Dont overthink the names, just take what gynac gives on time. Thats all that matters.
My doctor started me on folic acid even before conceiving, then added iron and calcium later in pregnancy. She also prescribed something for nausea when it got bad. Each thing was based on my needs so yours may differ.
