A member asked:
I am in 19w 5th day. i have not been given any medic like ca or fe. only folic acid was given since pregnancy. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Folic acid most: Important in early pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects. If you're diet is good, supplemental calcium and iron shouldn't be necessary at this point, although most pre-natal multivitamins contain all of the above. A good diet is best thing for mother and baby!
