Patient's question:
I bought maternity milk powder today. I'm almost 3 months pregnant. Can I drink it?It's mainly for folic acid supplementation!
First follow-up question: The maternity milk powder already contains calcium, iron, zinc, and so on... Do I still need to supplement calcium separately?
Doctor's answer:
The pregnancy formula you mentioned is not necessarily something you have to drink. If your nutrition is sufficient, you can skip it. Regarding the vomiting, it usually occurs around the 6th week of pregnancy, but this can vary from person to person. It is recommended to have regular prenatal check-ups during pregnancy. For the first 36 weeks, have a check-up every 4 weeks, and after 36 weeks, have one every week. During pregnancy, pay attention to nutrition. In the first 3 months, supplement with folic acid, and starting from the 4th month, supplement with calcium, iron, and other trace elements your body needs.Replier's response: November 12, 2012, 22:51:40 – You can stop taking folic acid after three months. Generally, you should focus on calcium and iron supplements. It is recommended to take Materna.
