Question about vitamin pills in the first week
Hi, my wife is pregnant, she's 1 or 2 weeks late, both blood and urine tests say she's pregnant, today she went to the Dr. and he did an ecography and says "it's still too small, don't need to take any vitamin yet", now I'm confused I never heard a Dr say this before, plus she's still lactating from the previous pregnancy. I'm concerned because this is in Africa and doctors are known to be corrupt and careless... she also have malaria and the doctor said to "wait 3 or 4 more weeks before taking any medication" ... anyone here have any clue? Shouldn't she be taking her prenatal pills at least?

Yes, she should be taking her prenatal vitamins now. My doctor had me start at least a month prior to getting pregnant.
Thank you all for your answers, this is exactly what I though... I'm speechless how can a doctor who you pay 150$ says shit like this. Last time we are going to that clinic, no wonder 1 in every 5 children in Angola don't reach 5 years old.
