My doctor mentioned I'll need to take calcium and iron supplements. I'm a bit confused about when exactly I should start them during my pregnancy. Can anyone share their experience?
Gynac doctors usually prescribe iron and calcium supplements once your first trimester ends, as morning sickness thoda settle ho jaati hai. Don't start buying expensive brand supplements on your own. Just take whatever your government center or local doctor prescribes, they work perfectly fine.
Oh, I was just wondering about this too because my doctor prescribed them in my 14th week! Are we supposed to take calcium with milk or water? Let me know if you girls felt thoda constipated after starting iron, I'm trying to manage it.
I remember panicking because I thought I should take them from day one, but my doctor told me it's completely normal to start them only in the second trimester around week 14. Your baby starts needing more bone and blood support then. Don't worry, your gynac will write them down at the right time!
Haan, generally second trimester se hi doctor iron aur calcium supplements start karate hain, pehle teen mahine toh folic acid chalta hai na. Bas dhyan rakhna ki dono tablets ek sath mat khana, beech mein thoda gap rakhna doctor ke kahe anusar!
Seedhi baat hai, khud se chemist se jaakar supplements mat khareedna. Usually doctor first trimester ke baad, yaani 4th month se iron aur calcium shuru karwate hain. Gynac se apna blood test check karwao, woh tumhari body ke hisab se exact dosage likh dengi.
