Ruth Ibra · Answer

Pregnancare original is ok for now, i have a childhood friend who is a doctor, she will always counsel me to start taking folic acid one or two months even before I conceive just to tell u how important folic acid is to your baby..

Thanks Cynthia...i will go for d pregnantcare asap but hope its not late in my sixth week? Den again i saw too many pregnantcare online and confused on which to go for cos dias also pregnantcare plus. Dunno which is better. I mentioned pregnantcare cos i cant stand d smell of only folic acid and pregnantcare contains folic acid and other vitamins needed for d baby...so i feel i shud go for it

Cynthia Okoro · Answer

You simply have her that advice because you don't know the importance of folic acid

Cynthia Okoro · Answer

deficiency of folic acid during pregnancy causes neural tube defects in newborn. So if a pregnant women do not take enough folic acid during pregnancy, it might result to abnormalities in the baby’s skull, brain and spine. Pls make use of your phone research on what I just said and find out yourself @bola pls don't tell her that if your doctor tells you that pcm is contraceptive will you believe that? No because you know what pcm is.

Wow dis is the first time am hearing dis @ blessing u even need folic acid in ur first trimester because d first trimester is the most crucial stages of ur baby development I don't see y ur doctor will tell you not to take folic acid pls I suggest you go and see another doctor

Bola Owolabi · Answer

My advice for you is that if your doctor say no you better yield to him because he knows better and there might be reason for that pls ask him why you should not take even folic acid because is necessary so that he can throw more light

Emike Edison Okojie · Answer

@blessing18, please even if you don't talk any other drug folic acid and calcium is a very important drug ones u discover you are pregnant. Even those TTC take it too. I have friends who are doctor n midwife's they will tell you. Once its position try n take this 2 drugs even before starting antenatal. Pregnantcare is ok too

Mirian B · Answer

not to take anything....it's a bit strange to me thou...cos I know even ttc mum's take it not to talk of some1 who is already pregnant..folic acid is very necessary in first trimester which pregnancycare original has it and both the vitamins needed...I will advice you consult another qualified doctor. the decision is yours my dear but I think is necessary

Cynthia Okoro · Answer

God has given you that baby to care for better Get advice from qualified doctor

Ijeoma Blessing · Answer

My dear i was told not to take anything till after three months...infact if im allowed i will take pregnancy care instead of folic acid cos i cant withstand d smell

Opeyemi · Answer

My doctor also told to not start using any drug till after first semester so it vary dear

Cynthia Okoro · Answer

Till after 3 months? That's a wrong advice. You start taking your routine drugs the moment you find out that you are pregnant. those trying to conceive take folic acid talk more of you who is pregnant already. Your baby is already developing and your delaying folic acid.

It's normal, howeVer Try taking sth, no matter how little to help sustain your stamina. I lost over 12kg too in my 1st trim coz i couldn't eat, and i didnt usr any medication coz i couldnt stand swallowing any drugs, my baby is 4months now, so dont be too worried, however, endeavour to eat sth, for stamina
