Health Supplements

Just found out that i am pregnant - currently in my 6 weeks! First gynae appointment will be 2 weeks later, meanwhile i am not sure if i should get some health supplements from local drugstore or should i wait for gynae to prescribe. Any suggestions?

good to be taking folate in 1st trimester. your gynae will most probably also prescribe you with prenatal multi vitamins. calcium and DHA (and possibly iron, if you need it) will wait until 2nd trimester onwards.

Hi, just curious why did u say calcium and DHA will need to wait till 2nd tri? :) Both my gynae and tcm actually told me to start eating calcium while ttc. I did read up studies on this too.
