Asking for Self, Female, 29 years old, Lahore
Hello I am 14 weeks and 5 days pregnant. My doctor prescribed be to take iberet folic and cac1000 ( my hb is 13.5) . I am facing dry cough problem and i notice when ever i take cac 1000 tab my cough increases. And for iberet folic i take it after breakfast but after 10 min of taking i need to go washroom to pass stool (as normal) . My question is “ are these tablets really necessary for me what if i dont have iron or calcium deficiency? As i was ok before taking these med but now nothing is ok and it cause me discomfort. My second queation is i still dont feel any thing in my tummy and no bump yet . I had check at gyne on 21 march and she dis scan and said you baby is healthy and every thing is fine.

take syp sancos 2 tsf twice daily for 5 days.
stay well hydrated.
take ibert folic with vitamin c tablet .
also start syp mucaine 2 tsf three times daily half hour before meal.
iron requirement increases with advancing gestational age.
consume healthy diet,green vegetables,fruit etc.
around 18 -20 weeks you will start experiencing fetal movements
if u take diet rich in iron and calcium ( green leafy vegetables , meat, fruits, dates dairy products milk , cheese etc) then u can skip medication. dry cough may not be due to calcium and iron. As pregnancy advances near 16 to 18 weeks u ll feel bump. iron and calcium requirements increases during pregnancy and its better to take in 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
