SECOND TRIMESTER

Congrats sa second trimester, mama! At 13 weeks, your OB will likely order glucose screening soon and possibly another ultrasound para makita ang detailed anatomy ng baby, a few of us moms got ours around 18-20 weeks, so ask your doc kung kailan scheduled. About supplements, aside from your folic acid, Calci-Aid, and Natal Plus, most OBs recommend iron eventually (your doctor is right na makakasuka, pero usually prescribed in second/third trimester instead), and some add DHA for baby's brain development, pero best talaga na itanong mo directly sa OB mo next week kung ano pa ang gusto niya based sa your labs, kasi bawat pregnancy different! Marami ring moms sa circle ko na nag-start ng iron in second trimester na lang and tolerated it better, so maybe that's what your OB is planning din.
