6 weeks pregnant
Hi I'm 6 weeks pregnant. I'm only taking folic acid from the polyclinic. Can I take other prenatal vitamins? If so, which ones? My first appointment is this Fri.

Since your first appointment is this Friday, it is probably best to hold off on adding anything new until you have spoken to your doctor, because some supplements can overlap or interact and you want to get the dosage right. The polyclinic folic acid is already covering the most critical need at this early stage, so you are not missing out by waiting a few more days. At your appointment, ask specifically about a combined prenatal vitamin since many doctors will recommend one that includes iron, calcium, and DHA alongside the folate, and your doctor can advise based on your own blood results and diet.
