Iam seven months pregnant and I was not at all regular with these medicines doc asked me to. Now iam worried as someone told me that it is not good at all if i dint have it. I am very much worried now.

what should i do? can i start them now or is it too late.

susmitha replied. Hi Shazia,
as everyone told better late than never. My mom told the calcium we r taking is for us to become strong while we r pregnant and also after pregnant and at the same time she told me don't depend only on supplements take the vitamin enriched food. I hope u r drinking milk and eating properly so don't worry . But even then try to take these tablets good for both of u. Ask the doc now a days in US chocolate coated multivitamins are available if those r available in kuwait its easy for u.
Some how I'm relieved after reding u r dropping the idea of fasting.
house work+ daughter+ one more baby +fasting I thought Oh! god
Now I'm kind of relieved.
Take care
Lots of hugs to your daughter!
susmitha dee replied. my OB/GYN here has prescribed prenatal vitamins rite frm day 1 of my preg.n thats wot ive been takin everyday one pill.it contains folic acid n all othr reqird supplemnts like iron , calcium, etc.

how bout chkin with yr GYN bout the medication before u start takin these meds.may be she ll prescribe a better product knowin that u were not regular with yr medicines.

n yes dont worry bout not bein regular with yr pills.as deepti said,the baby draws all the necessary nutrients frm the mothers body n these supplemnts r given to replenish the mothers resource.so im sure yr baby has been doin his/her job pretty well.

relax n consult yr GYN.

take care

Folic acid- i think dont worry now. My doc stopped that after abt 4 months. I ahve not been having that since then.

Calcium - I think you can start taking now. I take it twice a day. Multivitamins also i guess follow the same...

I guess these are just supplements, if you have been taking good diet then you dont have to worry. What i have heard is that the baby will take all necessary stuff from the mothers body. These medicines are to replenish the mothers resources.

Anyways, take care. On safer side ask doctor. And as you mentioned that you will be fasting for one whole month, its would be advisable to take the medicines.

Take care,
Deepti.
