vitamins for preggies

[caffelatte]

Even before I got pregnant, I was taking pre-natal vitamins from healthy options plus B12 Folate. Then when we learned that I was pregnant at 5 weeks, my OB shifted me to Folic Acid and Mosvit Gold.

On my 12th week, she prescribed
Iberet + FA
Mosvit Gold

Then, nagka problem ako with constipation. She prescribed C-Lium Capsule. I also shifted to brown rice.

On my 20th week up to present (currently on my 29th week):
Iberet + FA
Mosvit Gold
Calvit Gold
Quell Omega 3 Fish Oil DHA EPA

Occasionally I drink Anmum, takot ako i-everyday because my OB told me it's too commercialized and it can increase blood sugar. Kaya I just drink fresh milk before I sleep and yoghurt in the morning.

irregular ang period ko. i've been taking conzace and steinbach vit. e for a year then i found out i am 3 months pregnant. tinanong ko si ob how it's gonna affect the baby. ang sabi nya sakin is wala na daw kaming magagawa since it happened na. she told me na magpa CAS kami to check, but she said it's not really routine daw here sa philippine kasi di naman pwede mag terminate ng pregnancy dito. and she said we have to wait for a few months para mag CAS.

now i was reading online na too much vit a (in conzace) can harm the baby. sobrang paranoid ako ngayon. im really worried sick na baka nararamdaman na ng anak ko ang feeling ko na ganito.

anybody here share the same story?

^^ sis The Lioness, ano sabi ng Ob mo sa pwede maging effect? nagtake din kasi ng vitamin E dati eh. pero nang stop na ako nung TTC na kami.

natakot naman din ako.

First trimester:
Folic acid lang

Second trimester:
Mosvit Gold
triHemic
Bewell C
+
Isoxilan 3x a day
Lactulose 45ml daily

@The Lioness, sis I hope your baby is okay. I've read conzace has 5,000 IU na vit A and ang nabasa ko maximum limit for pregnant women over 19y/o is 10,000 IU per day. Have a CAS nalang on your 24th week. saka lessen the stress din sis, baka makaapekto kay baby.

[The Lioness]

i will sis Aiah, thanks.

sis eleine, wala kasi actually sya sinabi na anything. basta ang sabi nya daw, concentrated daw yung vit A sa conzace. pero feeling ko naman ok lang yung vit. eh.

actually, im 20 weeks na. at baby boy yung akin. sobrang tuwang tuwa ako kasi it's a dream come true for me. pero grabe din ang worries ko. nagtatanong na nga ako sa yahoo answers with similar experience sakin to check kung ok lang ba mga babies nila.

haayy. hope we all have healthy and normal babies.

[eleine26]

^^ congrats sa baby boy sis! try not worry na lang, sis. mas makakasama yun sa baby di ba. tama si sis aiah, mag pa CAS ka na lang to make sure kung may effect ba. pero sana wala. pray lang din sis.

1st tri: Folicart

2nd tri: Obimin Plus, Hemarate FA


I read in my baby book na too much retinol palmitate (vit A) may cause birth defects especially during first trimester. I got cold during my 20 weeks, ni recommend sakin ni OB is conzace. But when hubby read na it contains RP, hindi nya ko pinainom. Pinagtubig at calamansi juice nya ko for few days, mabuti naman di na lumala at nawala na din nang kusa.

@The Lioness: I hope your baby is fine. On your 24th week pwede ka na magpaCAS. Ako din naman before magpa CAS kahit I eat healthy foods, hindi pa din mawala wala yung kaba lalo na at first time mom. Hindi mo kasi alam kung tama and enough yung nutrients na nakukuha satin ng mga baby. Pray din tayo sis.

Hi! I'm 24 weeks pregnant. Ask ko lang anong marecommend nyong OTC na vit c. I forgot to ask my OB kung anong brand nung last visit ko. Ok lang kaya mag potencee? TIA!

[bagaholic_chewy]

Generic VitC (Ascorbic Acid) nga lang iniinom ko e. From the time I was pregnant, until now that I'm breastfeeding, pina-continue ni OB..

[gem_08]
