Vitamins for Preggies Part 2

[kittybabe]

Im currently taking 10mg folic acid, one a day prenatal vitamins (padala ni sis in law galing US, im looking if meron nito dito) and drinking enfamama chocolate 1 glass daily.

[heykath]

I've been taking Folic Acid since we were just TTC and then when we got successful I was prescribed

First trimester

Obimin Plus
Hemarate Fa
Duphaston (for the first 2 weeks only)
Anmum 2x a day - Pero I don't take it religiously, tapos once a day lang kase I feel bloated all the time

Second trimester

Folic Acid
Omega 3
Anmum 2x a day (still once a day lang ako uminom)

 20th week

Obimin Plus
Hemarate Fa
Anmum 2x a day (still once a day lang ako uminom)


22 weeks na ako ngayon, nagtataka lang din ako bakit walang calcium na prescribed. Probably next check up dagdagan na ni OB.

^ Binago na ulit ni OB mga vitamins ko hehe Currently 24 weeks and 5 days

Folinate and Calcium na (forgot the brand, di ko mabasa yung reseta )
tomorrow pa lang kase kami bibili

Hello po mga sissies
5w palang po akong preggy and ask ko lang po when is the best to make an appointment with my OB..ASAP na po ba dapat? Para po ma resetahan na din ako ng supplements?
Thanks.

Hi Velvet. I assume you never visited your OB before but you said you're 5 weeks na, how did you confirmed na 5 weeks ka na? Normally kasi once you visit your OB and you suspect you're pregnant, the OB will recommend a TVS (transvaginal ultrasound)  to confirm the age of your baby plus the OB will give you prescription for your prenatal vitamins.

If you haven't visited your OB, it's crucial to do it asap na. The first 3 months are critical.

i'm taking mosvit, folart, and calvin plus. 

at first mosvit, folart plus enfamama. then next checkup i told the doctor na nasisira tiyan ko sa enfamama. she said i'm lactose intolerant, so calvin plus (calcium) na lang daw.

Hello sis Tequillaxxii,

Nag base ako from last menstrual period then ayun delay na kasi ako ng 12 days..nag home pt ako kaya na found out ko na preggy ako hihi so last 01/24 nag visit na ko sa OB ko and then she ordered blood tests for me then ayun positive nga talaga then ang prescribe nya saken is Duphaston, Duvadilan & Elevit
My next appointment will be 2nd week of February for ultrasound
Pero pwede naman na daw ako pumunta ng first week if gusto ko.

[velvetdreams]

For now..
Since 1st tri palang ako
Elevit ang binigay saken ni OB

[Tequilaxxii]

  Congrats sis! Buti nagpunta ka na din kay OB

Before pregnancy ob advised me to take folic acid (maxifol) and fish oil. Then when I got pregnant same pa din but when I checked my first baby's book I saw caltrate plus. I didnt bother looking for the weeks. Hindi pa pala needed calcium supplement.
2nd tri na ako now and this is what she gave me:

Obimin plus
Iron supplement
Caltrate plus

I asked if stop ko na yung folic acid and fishoil sabi nya yes since meron na yung obimin plus na fishoil and folic acid. True enough I checked meron na nga. May iron and calcium din but small amount lang that's why she added a separate one.

Im 8 Weeks pregnant and I took Duphaston for 2 weeks and Folart for 1 Month. In 2 weeks pa balik ko sa OB and I want to ask if she can prescribe more vitamins for me especially vitamins c.

Had colds for 2 days already probably because of the weather and kulang na ako ng vitamins sa katawan.

[velvetdreams]

Same here, i have colds for 2 days na din at nag start ito as allergic rhinitis
Pero my OB advised me to continue elevit and she gave me enfamama as well and Benadryl capsule to be taken at night for 4 days..hmm nalimutan ko iask kung pwede ba yung kirkland na vitamin C..since eto yung stock namin sa house hehe

Hi! Newbie here sa thread na to, Ask ko lang if anyone nakapag try na ng obmax food supplement na vitamins, before kasi elevit ang prescribed sa akin ni ob but last visit ko binago na nya to obmax since 2nd trimester na ako. 1 week ko pa lang sya natake and nanibago ata ang katawan ko kasi wala ako gana kumain and paranag mas lumala ang morning sickness ko. I hope may makapag feedback sa mga preggy moms na nakapag try na ng vitamin na to. Thanks

my vits during pregnancy was pregnacare plus. 2 kinds of vits in 1 box. complete na sya with folic, dha, vit d, omega 3, and other vits as well. i never had any symptoms with this vits and baby is very healthy too.

[mindiegirl]

Mga sis, nag take pa ba kayo ng milk? Im taking anmum vanilla kasi gusto ko lasa nya nung una pero after 1 week nasusuya na ko sa kanya. Maisip ko palang parang nasusuka na ko. 😞😞😞

[MoonshineLady]

^my ob said na if you're already taking vits no need to drink milk na kasi those milk like anmum already has vits na rin

[mindiegirl]

^Thank you sis😊

Hi mga sis may nagtetake ba ng elevit multivitamins dito? How was it? Prescribed kasi ni ob sakin kaso nagdadiarrhea ako after. I'm just 6 weeks preggy.

[kiz_me1109]

@nethemir15 - Currently on 14 weeks. Elevit Multivitamins na ang prescribed ng OB ko until Delivery. So far ok naman. Wala naman siya side effects sa akin. I suggest if sa tingin mo hindi ka hiyang, tell your Ob para mapalitan. Sa akin kasi she asked me kung gusto ko Elevit or Mosvit. So I guess you can switch to Mosvit if hindi ka talaga hiyang sa Elevit. Still, best to ask your Ob muna.

[prettylove]

@nethemir15, same tayo ng naging side effect ng elevit. Based on my experience, during the early weeks of my pregnancy diarrhea din but later on naging constipated. I advise na mag saging ka kapag nag diarrhea ka then kapag constipated ka naman mag buko juice ka. Pinaka side effect sa akin ng elevit is it made my morning/evening sickness (nausea and vomiting) worse but Later on, mawawala din yan like mine nung papunta na ako sa 2nd trimester ko un nga lang pinalitan na ni ob ang akin ng ob max, medyo nanibago ako sa 1st week pero nag adapt din naman katawan ko a week after. If hindi ka talaga comfortable at di mo na matiis ang side effect nya tama sis kiz_me1109 ask mo na si ob dr ng alternative vitamins.

yung 1st prenatal check-up ko, almost 8 weeks preggy na pala ako! ang binigay sa akin ng ob ko were:
Duphaston
Folic Acid

then now at 13 weeks,
Caltrate Plus
Sangobion Prenatal FA

yan lang tapos wag na daw ako mag-milk kasi baka tumaas sugar ko, may history kasi ng diabetes sa family namin. nagustuhan ko pa naman yung anmum materna vanilla na nasa tetra pack nung na-try ko sya minsan

i'm actually losing my weight pero pinalagpas ni ob for now since kakatapos pa lang daw ng 1st trimester ko. now kailangan ko na mag-gain or else mag-add daw sya ng meds pa.
