Prenatal Vitamins: Yes Most Prenatal Vitamins will contain Calcium, and DHA which contains Omega 3 fatty acids. This may support fetal brain and eye development. Vitamin C may be taken during pregnancy 500 mg daily. You can take any over the counter Prenatal Vitamin. One A Day brand or Nature Made Prenatal + DHA will have everything needed and in safe doses for pregnancy. Do not take a separate Vit A supplement

Yes: Omega 3, Vitamin C and Calcium supplements are all great for you and the baby. Many of these supplements are also found in prenatal vitamins which also give you iron and folic acid which are also helpful for a growing baby in the first trimester.
