hi,
got the great news last week that my wife is pregnant with our first! we're over the moon and i'm trying to read up on as much as i can to help her! she's been taking her folic acid for a while now but i'm wondering if we should get some pregnacare (or ones like it) too?? and after 3 months should she start taking on iron supplements?? and lastly is should she stop taking cod liver oil tablets?? something about too much vitamin a in them?!
thanks!

We can't give medical advice but unless your wife is not getting enough nutrients from her diet then the folic acid up to 12 weeks is fine. She'll be advised to take iron from then by the hospital. As your medical professional about the cod liver oil.
