Taking pregnancy support tablets
Into 15 weeks, she had a severe gastrities yesterday and took her to a nearby medical college. Different doctors reccomend differently.
It is reccomended by consulting doctor that she should have duphastone (because of anomaly), Progestone (because of subsequent bleedings), Iron and Calcium (second trimester). Detailed Blood test before and after pregnancy, scans, double marker all are normal.
Due to severe gastrities yesterday, gynaec we visited reccomended not to take iron, and also to avoid progestone and duphastone.
Maunfacturer disclaimer for both tablets warns about severe diseases like carcinoma.
Her consulting doctor prescribed all the 4 meds above although blood vitamin content is normal, and despite telling her about gastritic issues.
I am confused which one to follow. I am worried about mother than baby. She being a doctor herself, overthinks and makes thing more complicated
