Just got my positive test and my gynac appointment is still a week away. Till then I wanted to know what all vitamins women usually take during pregnancy. Pls share what worked for u.
My mother-in-law kept telling me to eat curry leaves and drumstick leaves for natural iron, which is great. But I always took my prescribed folic acid and calcium tablets as my doctor advised. A mix of traditional diet and medical supplements works best.
It's so beautiful how much we care for our little ones even before they are born. Standard vitamins like folic acid and calcium are great, but please don't stress if you occasionally miss a pill. You are doing an amazing job, mumma.
I just delivered my baby boy last month. For vitamins, honestly, just stick strictly to whatever your gynac prescribes. For me, iron, calcium, and Vitamin D3 were daily essentials, and they really helped with my energy levels postpartum too.
Please don't take any over-the-counter vitamins or supplements on your own. Every pregnancy is unique, and only your gynac can check your blood reports and prescribe the right dosage. Safety of the baby comes first!
I am in my 5th month and taking iron, calcium, and folic acid regularly. Does anyone else get a bit of nausea after taking the iron pills? I'm always worried if my baby is getting enough nutrition.
I used to freak out thinking I'm missing some vital nutrients, but then I realized standard prescriptions are all you need. Folic acid and iron are basic, but don't worry, your doctor will give you the exact list. It's totally manageable.
