Enquire on prenatal vitamins
Hi. I’m planning to get pregnant and I want to know about vitamins that I should be taking before pregnancy. I read about the importance of folic acid and that women planning for pregnancy should be taking it at least few months before conception. Is there a specific kind of folic acid i should be taking or the ones from blackmores is good ? Also, is there any more supplements I should be taking ? Thank you

Hi and thank you for asking us
Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information, 400mg of folic acid is needed daily before conception and 3 months afterwards. All vitamins and nutrients are important, but these nutrients are key roles for baby’s growth and development during pregnancy:
- Iron.
- Calcium.
- Vitamin D.
- DHA.
- Iodine.
I strongly advise you to consult with a medical practitioner at a nearby clinic first before buying or taking any medications as a few more informations needs to be taken into account before you start taking those vitamins and supplements.
If you have any more enquiries, you can click on the link (DoctorOnCall) and speak to our doctors in private and get the consultation you need on the phone. Thank you.
Speak to an obstetrician for a healthy and worry-free pregnancy.
