When to start taking pregnacare plus during pregnancy?
Someone gifted me a box of pregnacare plus and im not sure from which month it should be started. Im currently in my first trimester. Should i begin now or wait, and is it ok to ask my gynac about it?
My doctor told me Pregnacare Plus is usually for the later stages because it has the extra omega oils. She had me start the regular one earlier and switched me to Plus in the second trimester. Best to ask your gynac which version suits your stage.
During my IVF journey I was very particular about every supplement and only took what the doctor told me, when she told me. I'd gently suggest the same to you. These things matter, so let your doctor guide the exact start time, na.
Honestly the timing of these supplements really depends on your individual needs, so I'd let the doctor decide. I didn't want to self start any branded multivitamin. Mine prescribed it when she felt I needed the extra support.
Please don't start any supplement on your own just because it's popular. Show the box to your gynac and let them confirm the timing and dose. Some women already get enough from their prescribed tablets and don't need extra.
I take it with dinner so I don't forget in my morning rush. But on timing of starting, I just followed what my doc wrote on the prescription. Quick tip, set a phone reminder, it's easy to skip on busy days.
