Consult Dr Tay yesterday. He told that I could stop taking the 葉酸 pills when I'm in 9 weeks' pregnancy and he gave me another "Wyeth惠氏孕婦維他命" called "Materna"
He also told that all the Vitamins and Minerals are not only for BB but mainly for mother. It is because our 先天機能will let our BB to absorb all the nutrients in our body first until they got enough. The rest will be left for mother. Therefore, if we do not have sufficient nutrients, the heath of mother (but not BB) will be affected.
Each "Materna" tablet contains many Vitamins & Minerals like Vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B6, D, 鐵, 葉酸, 鈣....etc.
But I check that it is very similar to the "Wyeth - Centrum : From A to Zinc 善存" which we could buy at Mannings.
Actually, Dr Tay asked me to take 善存 before IVF treatment. I checked the major different between 善存 and "Materna" is that "Materna" has more 鐵, 葉酸, 鈣 that are particularly required for pregnant women because BB will absorb many鐵, 鈣 for their development (i.e. mother will lost many iron and calcium)
He asked me to take two per day cos' I got twin BB. Otherwise, one per day would be okay.
Yes, Materna is basically what we really need. If you purchase other vitamins, make sure to ask the pharmacist if there are any Oyster shells in it because it has alot of lead and will harm your BB.

My doctor also gave me two packs of medicine: one is Meterna (in pink colour) and one is Folic Acid.... But I got constipation and darker stool after taking these pills and he said it's normal...maybe the medicine is so 熱氣.
b9lingling, where do you live in Canada?

Dear b9lingling,
yes, I am the Crystal you know. 我地又會咁啱, 今次一齊做mami, 哈哈.
I've been taking materna and another calcium supplement because I'm allergic to milk-product. I took the calcium and I've been having some serious constipations too. It's soooooooooo hard that I bleed everytime I go "poo poo". Then I stopped taking the calcium, I only take materna right now and it's better.
I lives in Vancouver, it's getting really cold here already.
