Supplements and Vitamins
May I ask everyone what kind of supplements do you take when you are pregnant? I'm currently only taking fish oil and Swisse's pregnancy supplement. Is that enough? Is there anything else that I should also take?
Depends on your pregnancy stage as well. During 1st trimester only folic acid is a must. After that hospital will prescribe you fish oil and Obimin multivitamins. I'm still in 2nd trimester so not sure if they give anything additional for 3rd trimester. This is what hospital gives. You can take additional supplements if you feel the need too. In my case I don't drink milk so I started CalVit D3 supplement (Calcium + Vitamin D3) from the beginning. I also had Blackmore's during my 1st tri. These are basics. If you looking to have those advanced ones better to check with your gynec too. Before taking CalVit and Blackmore's I did consult my gynec. Also remember the more supplements you take the more water you need to drink.
