Pregnancy 3 weeks
I am 3 weeks pregnant, I have started trafolic before conception itself. Can i also start choline suppliments. Which supplement or brand should I take and how much mg. I am asking this because I am vegeterian. We can't even have eggs. There is very less source of choline from food. Or is it ok to take after few weeks? Please suggest the right time to take choline suppliments. Anything else to be taken?

Choline is important for your baby's brain development, and a vegetarian diet without eggs does make it harder to get enough from food. It is fine to start a choline supplement now alongside your folic acid, since early pregnancy is when it matters most.
Next Steps
Please ask your obstetrician which brand and strength suits you, since plant sources alone are limited and a supplement is usually needed. Soy, oats, nuts and cruciferous vegetables also add some choline to your diet.
Health Tips
Please don't fix your own daily amount. Your obstetrician can confirm the right strength alongside the trafolic you're already taking.
