Newly pregnant here, first time and totally clueless. Everyone in the ghar is giving different advice about what i should be taking. Just want to know the basic things people generally have, will confirm with my doc also.
Along with the tablets my doctor gave, my amma made sure I ate dal, greens, milk, fruits and nuts daily. Simple home food did a lot for me. But for any medicine or supplement, only what the doctor says.
Honestly you dont need expensive imported vitamins yaar. The standard prescribed folic acid, iron and calcium plus normal home food covers most of it. I planned my expenses around just the prescribed ones and the routine scans.
The basics most gynacs give are folic acid early on, then iron and calcium later, plus a balanced diet. Dont go buying extra supplements yourself though. Whatever ur doctor prescribes, take that regularly and you are sorted.
