Can you take calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium tablets while trying to conceive?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Can you take calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium tablets during pre-pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Oral folic acid is helpful in preventing neural tube defects. If possible, taking calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium tablets also poses no harm, as long as a balanced diet is maintained, which is sufficient. It is recommended to take them according to the recommended health supplement dosage.
During normal pregnancy, the amount of amniotic fluid increases with gestational age and begins to gradually decrease starting from the last 2–4 weeks. At full term, the volume of amniotic fluid is approximately 800 mL.
Amniotic Fluid
Normal amniotic fluid depth ranges between 3 to 7 centimeters. Exceeding 7 centimeters indicates polyhydramnios.
