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

Folic acid is the most important for first trimester. My doc gave me vitamin D also as it helps our body and baby to absorb folic better. And sometimes as office workers we don’t get as much vit D from the sun He stopped me from taking all other supplements. As certain vitamins or minerals can interfere with folic acid absorption to the Baby when taken in excess and will be counterproductive
