Of course
Your obstetrician should explain everything and clear all your doubts. Calcium is introduced only from 5 month or 20 weeks. It s taken noon time. Do not take calcium and iron together same time as it may impair the absorption of iron. Iron is twice daily or once daily depending on your haemoglobin status.
Take a calcium along with VIT D3
