I am 13 weeks and currently taking only folic and one prenatal. My friend said calcium starts in second trimester, but my next appointment is later. When did your gynac start calcium?
Usually doc starts calcium after the first trimester, around 14 weeks ish. Both my pregnancies it began in 2nd trimester along with iron. Dont start on ur own, let gynac decide the timing.
My doctor gave it from second trimester. Family kept telling me to drink lots of milk and have ragi too, which helps, but the supplement timing I left fully to my doctor.
I just got mine started this week at 16 weeks, was wondering if I should have started earlier. Did anyone start sooner? My doc said this is normal timing so I felt relieved.
Folic acid is for early weeks, calcium normally comes in around the 2nd trimester. But every doctor has their own schedule based on your reports, so follow what urs prescribes.
