Newly pregnant here and my gynac has started me on some tablets already. Still i want to understand which vitamins are actually important during this time. Not asking for medicine names, just want to know in general na.
Honestly, just take the basic Iron and Calcium tablets that your gynac prescribes. No need to buy those fancy, expensive prenatal vitamins online. Simple government hospital ones or basic medical store ones work perfectly fine.
Hey, don't stress too much about memorizing everything! Your gynac will give you a proper prescription of Folic Acid, Iron, and Calcium based on your blood reports. Just set an alarm on your phone so you don't forget!
I felt so overwhelmed looking at the daily pile of tablets I had to take! But Folic acid and Calcium are absolute life-savers for the baby. Just take them with a little food so you don't feel nauseous.
My tracker app always reminded me to take Folic acid in the 1st trimester, and then Iron, Calcium, and Vitamin D3 later on. They are super important for baby's brain and bone development. Get your doctor to prescribe the exact brands!
Oh, please don't skip your iron pills even if they cause constipation, because postpartum recovery requires so much strength. I felt extremely weak after delivery because I was careless with my vitamins. Take care of yourself dear.
My mother told me to eat ragi and curry leaves for natural iron, but I strictly followed my doctor's prescription for Iron and Calcium tablets too. Traditional food is good, but medical supplements are a must during these months.
For our precious miracles, vitamins are like building blocks. We had a strict schedule of folic acid, vitamin D, and progesterone. Trust your doctor's prescription completely and take them with a grateful heart.
Beta, along with the doctor's medicines, make sure you eat soaked almonds, dry dates, and fresh pomegranate daily. These natural things give you strength and keep your blood levels good. Take care of your health.
