Prenatal vitamins: Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter. You should get a supplement with Folic Acid, Iron, Calcium and vitamin D. You may consult this site for more info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/pregnancy-week-by-week/in-depth/prenatal-vitamins/art-20046945 Wish you good health and a healthy baby! It would be prudent to establish a relation with an Obstetrician before pregnancy.
