You should ask your doctor, asking what medications to take (even prenatals) that are safe isn't a very good idea to ask here as we should not make recommendations on what medications are safe and good to take. What is safe for someone in their pregnancy may not be safe for another (say if you were on other meds like an anticoagulant/blood thinner) some meds can interact with one another and not have good outcomes. I've been working in a pharmacy for almost 2 years now, I've learned it is never safe to ask someone other than your doctor about what is safe for you, especially during pregnancy. I'd ask them. Only thing I'd recommend is that you get a prenatal vitamin that also contains DHA. Not all prenatal vitamins do, but DHA is great and highly recommended by doctors and pharmacists because it supports and aids in brain and eye development in the growing baby. Ask your doctor about the rest! Congrats on the baby!
