3 Mar 2018 (7w): pre-natal supplement
Folic Acid
I started taking Folic Acid 400 mcg/day 2 months before I get pregnant. Have to double the intake, Folic Acid 800 mcg/day once become pregnant. We should not take more than 1000 mcg daily because excessive Folic Acid intake causes nausea and bloating.
Note: Most daily prenatal vitamins contain folic acid.

Note: We must take note that supplement with iron and calcium cannot be taken at the same time. Calcium or any diary food like milk, cheese, yogurt may reduce the absorption of iron.
Note: Best if we can take iron with an orange or vitamin C, to help with better absorption of iron. After 2 hours, we can take calcium.
Note: Vitamin D helps to absorb Calcium. It's not necessary to take vitamin D at the same time as a calcium supplement.
