Supplements

For first trimester, folic acid is a must (until week 12). My gynec also prescribed me fish oil n Obimin multivitamins but asked me to start them only from week 12. Not sure if any particular reason for that. Additionally I took Blackmore's and CalVit D3 supplement. Blackmore's I only took in first trimester. CalVit still taking. I don't drink milk. That's why started calcium supplements early. But please check with your gynec first before you take any supplements. I saw few posts on this app that some mommies who took fish oil and multivitamins in first trimester had miscarriages. Could just be coincidence. But better to be safe. So please check with your gynec too. You know your diet best. If you are someone who eats everything (not a picky eater like me) that can give you all necessary nutrition, then it's best to relay on natural foods than supplements. Atleast for the first trimester. In my case I don't take milk, don't eat fish or seafood, don't eat too much leafy veggies, I only eat chicken and egg but in very less quantity. So my husband was worried I won't be getting enough nutrients from food 😀
