supplements for pregnant women?

[megami704]

Hello:D

Sa mga may anak na, and pregnant women po ang question ko.

Uminom po ba kayo ng supplements nung preggy pa kayo? Pweding pa-share naman kung ano po yun.

Actually nag-order na po ako online, kaso di pa dumarating, mag 2 weeks na. Hanap naman po ako sa mga drugstores, pero wala po yung intended for pregnant only.

Nagtanong na ako sa OB ko, sabi lang nya ok lang daw mag-supplement, kaso wala naman sya ni-recommend:confused: Kaya nagresearch na lang ako online, yung Pigeon po ang inorder ko kaso ala pa nga po.

Pa-share naman po kung ano yung supplements na ininom nyo na mabibili sa drugstore. Thanks po

hi sis..
sensiya na sa pinas kasi ako nagbuntis bago pa lang me here sa japan kaya di ko pa alam kung anong meron dito..

pero eto ang iniinom ko nung ako'y buntis...
siyempre iron vitamins dapat meron...
tapos nung nag 4 or 5 months ata nagtake na
ko ng calcium...kasi nagsasasakit na ung ngipin ko
tsaka lagi ako pinupulikat...sabi ng OB ko kinukuha na
daw ng baby ko ung calcium ko sa katawan kaya
kailangan ng supplement...

try mo na lang hanap dito ng katulad ng
ganyang vitamins. bakit di ka binigyan ng OB mo?
ganun ba dito sa japan?

[dalajoey]

gano'n dito sa japan.
they won't tell you not to take vitamins.
but they won't tell you to take either:)

ironic. strange. you name it, but that's japan for you:)

kain ka lang ng katamtaman.

Yup, kailangan daw ng calcium kaso takot lang ako uminom ng basta basta. HIndi kasi usually nagrerecommend ng gamot ang mga doctor dito, sa food kasi umaasa, pwera na lang kung kailangan or may sakit ka. Hindi kasi ako palakain ng veggies.

Yup, ob-gyne's here don't give prescriptions for prenatal vitamins, but would give you the go-signal to do so. I went to a local drugstore, told the pharmacist I'm preggy and he recommended "Folic acid 400" by ITOH. Taking the recommended daily intake gives you 400 mcg of folic acid, 6mg of iron and 200 mg of calcium. Folic acid id very important particularly during the first trimester of pregnancy coz it prevents birth defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly. Easy to drink because it's in small tablet form.

Dietary sources of folic acid include citrus fruits and juices ( I use this as reason to justify buying Y100 mangoes ;)), green leafy vegetables (horenso, etc), beans, nuts, asparagus, grains...ano pa ba? Pero ang hirap pa ring kumain esp when one's in the lihi-period.

If you can ask someone from the Philippines to send you some, my obgyne friend suggested "... I recommend HEMOBION( Ferrous fumarate 360 mg, cyanocobalamin 15mcg, Vit D 400iu, folic acid 1500mcg, calcium 200mg, vit C 75mg). This is the prenatal vitamins I give my patients because it is already complete. It comes in a capsule form and it is not irritating to the stomach. Because the ferrous form is not sulfate but fumarate it has the highest elemental Iron (118.8 mg) available for absorption. This is what I give for the whole duration of the pregnancy."

Happy Mom's Day everyone!

HI TO ALL PREGNANT WOMEN! Anumang gamot po ay may kanya-kanyang epekto sa atin. Not all medicines or supplements that are effective for others may be good for you coz' without you knowing it, it could be detrimental to your and your baby's health.

It is still advisable to consult your OB-GYNE on what vitamins or supplements you must try first and be sensitive with your family medical history too. Normally, your OB-GYNE should be asking you about your family's medical history such as heart ailments, diabetes, even allergies in certain medicines. There might be substances which pregnant mom should avoid taking so as to assure the security of the baby in her womb, and for her own safety too.

Yes it's true that you need enough iron and calcium to supply the baby's needs, but most of all, your needs. So I suggest, if your OB-GYNE in Japan may not prescribe you multi-vitamins or supplements, someone from your relatives in the Philippines should consult an OB-GYNE in your behalf, and must inform the OB about your present situation, your medical history, your allergies if there is/are, and send you the prescribed medicines through courier like FedEx or UPS. And please, drink milk regularly to supply you and the baby the calcium needed, eat lots of fruits and veggies too. :) Balitaan mo kami kung ano gender ng baby pag nagpa-ultra sound ka na ha? ;)

THanks sa lahat ng reply especially to Megumi san.

Actually nakabili na ako kahapon ng Folic Acid 400 by itoh, buti na lang nasabi ni Megumi na ok lang yun. Ni-research ko din kasi ang mga supplements na kailangan ng preggy, at halos nasa Folic Acid 400 na lahat ang na research ko kaya ininom ko na. Thanks megumi sa confirmation. Medyo nag-aalangan pa rin talag ako kanina.

Kaso tanong ko lang, dun sa na-research ko, avoid daw ang Vitamin A (more than 10,000 mcg), Vitamin D (more than 1000 mcg), and lately naman daw is iron, konti dosage lang po daw ang pwede?

Supplements that are needed naman:
*folic acid (400-800 mcg/day)
*Iron (low dosage only)
*Vit B12 (2.6 mcg/day)
*Iodine
*Calcium (1,500 mg/day)
*Biotin (300mcg/day)
* Probiotics / lactobacillus
*Vitamin C (500-1000mg/day)
*Niacin (19mg/day)
*Vit B2 (1.8mg/day

Thanks cherry ;) Nakabili na ako kahapon, at wait ko nalang yung inorder ko online, pang maternity talaga yun nakita ko sa magazine. Mas maganda kasi may iniinom na supplement lalo na kung maselan sa pagkain para may substitue kahit papano. Fruits lang talaga, and vegetable juice lang ako kasi.

Somehow we're in the same boat - 1st trimester and it's so difficult to eat solid foods. I mostly eat fruits din. Try parboiled veggies para tumaas ang dietary fiber intake. Boil mo lang ang carrots, brocolli, asparagus for a short time, then add a little salt, or butter or kahit salad dressing. Masarap din ang potatoes. easy to eat kasi walang masyadong added seasonings na nakaka-start ng icky feeling.

Toasted rye bread with cheese. Milk, yogurt everyday.

Masarap din ang chicken sopas at arroz caldo!

Per tama po na SUPPLEMENT lang ang prenatal vitamins sa dietary intake natin. It's still best to have a healthy diet.

Kung mahirap kumain, take small servings each time, pero more frequent than regular meals.

Thanks so much megumi san. Ganun pala kapag preggy, constipated no kaya kailangan talaga ng fiber, natural fiber as much as possible. 18weeks pa lang din ako =) goodluck sa atin, wag tayo papa-stress. First time ko din kasi kaya lagi ko pinag-ppray na sana normal and healthy ang maging baby namin. Ewan ko ba kung bakit naiisip ko yun, natural lang ba yun? Anyway thanks. Dumating na rin pala yung inorder ko sa benesse. Pigeon yung tatak ng supplement, for maternity talaga. Pero Ok din yung sinabi mo itoh kasi halus andun na rin yung mga kailangan ng preggy.
