Hello doctor! I am 19 weeks pregnant and went to the doctor for a multivitamin and calcium pill from the 16th week, but I didn't say when to take it, so I took 2 types at the same time. The doctor asked me, is it okay to take a multivitamin and calcium at the same time when I'm 19 weeks pregnant? If yes, will it affect the baby? Looking forward to your advice, thank you doctor!

Hello, the doctor would like to answer the question: "Is it okay to take multivitamins and calcium at the same time when 19 weeks pregnant? ” as follows:
Vitamins and calcium are two important ingredients for pregnant women, especially in vitamins that often contain iron, supplemented to create blood, prevent anemia during pregnancy or postpartum, but when taking calcium and iron together, it is easy to reduce the absorption of these two types, you should take at least 1-2 hours apart and it is best to take calcium after breakfast about 1 hour and usually a multivitamin in the afternoon or afternoon.
If you still have questions about taking vitamins, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System to check. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health. Best regards!
