Pregnancy Supplements

Hi Mummies, I’m a sub patient at NUH currently week 8. Doctor only told me to eat Folic acid. Is that normal? I am in a group chat with same EDD mummies and they are eating blackmores pregnancy vitamins, iron, calcium pills too? Currently I’m taking fish oil, folic acid and iron. Only folic acid was requested by doc. I’ve been taking fish oil even before I got pregnant. My next visit is in Nov, and I just wanna know if I should buy the pregnancy multivitamins first or should I wait till I’m 12 wks to ask the doc at my next visit? #pleasehelp

Suggest not to anyhow take supplements. In first trimester, i was told to take folic acid only. I do noe of frens who took other vitamins as well. Those vitamins were only given in 2nd trim for me (including fish oil)

Not sure. My gynae didnt start me on vitamins until 2nd trim. Everyone is different i guess. I rather not risk n just follow my gynae’s prescription.
