@medicaldoctor48: Pregnant mama, please pay attention. Not every medicine is safe during pregnancy, and you should not take medicine just because someone recommended them to you. 1. Folic acid — especially before pregnancy and in the early weeks. It helps prevent certain problems with the baby’s brain and spine. 2. Iron — helps prevent and treat anaemia, which is common during pregnancy. 3. Calcium — supports the development of your baby’s bones and teeth and helps support your own bones. 4. Vitamin C — supports your immune system and helps your body absorb iron. But please remember: the right dose depends on your individual needs. Always take medicines and supplements recommended by your doctor or midwife. Do not self-medicate during pregnancy. This information is for educational purposes only. HealthFacts #fup
