[ece]

^sis! itloooggg!!! at kamatis! hahaha! tuwang tuwa akong magluto ng scrambled eggs with kamatis! at kahit ano basta maalat, masaya na ko. ayaw ko ng chocolate or any matamis for now.

[bebepink]

it s my first trimester: Folium OB and vit. C lang ang intake ko now.
my OB recommended me to drink Enfamama but if i dont like the taste I could drink fresh milk though.

Mga sis di ako preggy pero pwede kaya pumunta sa ob para lang humingi uli ng reseta ng vitamins? Natalwiz saka trev iron kasi ako dati sa unang baby ko,  di ko na matandaan yung isa, calcium un eh di ko lang alam brand, Ganda ko kasi nung buntis ako, ngayon di na. ang blooming ko nun, kahit mga patiente ng ob ko sinasabi na ang gandang buntis ko daw, alam ko sa mga vitamins ko yun eh. Ngayon kahit anong makeup ko o tulog ko dull ng mukha ko pati balat ko,iba parin yung nangagaling sa loob. Kaya tuloy tuloy nyo lang mga vitamins kasi it's good for both of you especially for the baby, since ayaw na maganak ng asawa ko vitamins na lang pupuntahan ko sa ob ko

Salt, I think you can visit your obgyne kahit di ka buntis. Kase as women may mga checkups pa tayo sa kanila kailangan like breast exam, pap smear etc. Although di kaya preggy hormones yun nagpa blooming sayo noon?

Re: vits. Bago pa ako magbuntis sa 1st ko, umiinom na ako ng prenatal vits. Tapos pinatuloy lang ng ob ko. Now with my 2nd, as soon as I suspected na ma preggy ako, I took the vits na agad. I get my supply from healthy options.

Shifted to Elevit which is almost double the price of Blackmores. Just because, i don't have to take it twice a day. Haha!

joining this thread im already 12wks pregnant pero we first visited an OB when I was 5wks palang.  That time ang nireseta lang sakin is Folic Acid.  Mga two weeks after, we changed OB and she changed my vitamins to the following...
Nutramax
HerbaLife - Herbalifeline with omega3 fatty acids
MegaJuice Anti Oxidants
Quantum C - Vitamin C...

Sabi ng new OB pang pa taas daw ng IQ ito ng bata.  I was hesitant at first (and hanggang ngayon) Kase bukod sa mahal (8k for all of it) parang yung iba mga dietary supplements lang naman waaah.  Hindi din sha nag recommend ng milk for me.

That's why I decided to check din mga forums and see if other pregnant women are taking these vitamins. Nakakaloka!

[aNgelofThEMorning]

^ kaloka ang dami mong vitamins sis, parang sayo ko lang ata nakita yan last 3 na vits mo...sa akin kase multivitamins na kaya I assume almost complete na yun. Tapos may iron din ako tapos last visit pina-stop na intake ko ng milk, kase lalaki daw ako, usually until 5th month lang sya nagpapa-inom ng milk tapos take na ko ng calcium supplements.

[aylatskie]

I only have 3 types of vitamins. Di kaya dealer ng herbalife yung OB ni sis?(just kidding). I'm still taking milk because if I don't mag aaway kami ni hubby. 😜 Ayoko mapagalitan. Hehe

[simang]

^same din with milk. Iwas discussion na lang with husband kaya inom na lang din ako. Hehe and advised pa din naman ng ob and endo ko to continue.

I'm taking multivitamins, calcium, iron, and fishoil. And milk. My OB is not very particular with brand ng vitamins, yung content yung ineemphasize nya like this much mg dapat, mga ganun. So as long as i'm getting the prescribed dosage of vitamins keri lang kahit anong brand ng vitamins inumin ko.

[aylatskie]

What brand of fish oil you're taking sis?

[simang]

^I'm taking biomega from usana. Yun na din tinetake ko before pa for my PCOS.

[aylatskie]

I have one as well but currently taking GNC first before it will expire. Sayang kasi ang mahal ng bili ni hubby then di niya na take before. After GNC then tuloy ko na si Usana.

[aNgelofThEMorning]

Bat kaya ko hinde pina-iinom ng fish oil ni OB, I know para sa brain and eye development ng baby yun pero hinde ba sya kasama sa multivitamins? Though every week naman I make sure na may 2 servings ako ng fish.

[aylatskie]

Ask your OB sis. Mine was prescribed when I reached 4th month. Or if ma fish Ka naman weekly then that's fine. Just make sure that they  contain DHA and EPA.

[aNgelofThEMorning]

^ thanks sis, sige I'll ask OB na lang on our next visit.

[simang]

Saken naman 5th month sya prinescribe, actually ako nag-ask kung pwede ako magtake hehe. pero same supplement na din sya sa tinetake ko before nagstop lang ako when i got pregnant. Tinanong ko lang OB ko if i can take fishoil and pinakita ko sa kanya yung biomega. Approved naman.

[geischic]

Nahihilo ako sa dami ng vitamins.. Oh well. Kung yan sabi ng ob. Mas mainam sumunod.

[aNgelofThEMorning]

^ sinabi mo sis, hinde pa naman ako sanay uminom ng gamot kase before ako mabuntis wala akong tine-take kahit anong vits. I made sure lang healthy kinakain ko kaya nung nabuntis ako laking adjustments sa pag-inom ng gamot, sa gabi ko nga sya iniinom lahat para in case may side effects sa akin eh tulog na ko hehe

[belle_v2g]

^not used to taking any tablets (vitamins / supplements) even before i got pregnant. my gp prescribed blackmores 2x a day at namimiss ko pa and 2nd dose. when i finished it, i shifted to elevit. i had to take it once a day lang. at least ok lang even if makalimutan ko sa umaga hehe!

[geischic]

Now im feeling lucky na di ma push sa mga gamot ob ko. In fact di sya ma brand.  As long as it meets the required nutrients keribels na. She only suggests brands pag tinanong ko.
