Pregnancy Checklists
Many people say that once or twice is enough for scans during the whole pregnancy journey, as it is harmful. If the pregnant woman is healthy then no need to show a doctor every time at regular intervals. Also some say consuming supplement type medicines like iron, calcium, vitamins, protein, etc is not required just eat proper food. How true is it, please request to provide an honest reply.
