Is It Safe To Take Iron, Zinc And Protein Powders At 11th Week Of Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 11 week pragnent now. Earlier my hometown doc gave me duphastone along with iron tablets and zinc syrup upto 11 weeks. Just today I consult famous hospital in another city where I am living. Doc told me that iron and zinc and protine powder only to start after 14 weeks and advice me to stop all along with duphastone. She adviced me to take SUSTEN 400 and folic acids tablets only. I just like to know iron, zinc and protine is not req upto 14 weeks? Susten 400 tablets which is progestoren tablets is useful at 11 week ? i read on internet about susten which is useful during early pregnancy to prevent miscarriage. But my doc prescribed me on 11 week also. Is it ok? Should I require to change the doctor?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is different opinion you would get from different doctor but ideally all the chemical molecules are not safe for the baby more or less and theses need to be avoided as long as it is possible, some doctor follows this and some not, but for the safety of baby better to avoid taking drugs for the vitamins, iron, why not to eat healthy foods. hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
