One of the most important things to remember when you’re pregnant is to take prenatal vitamins. For someone like me, who is not really used to taking any supplements or vitamins regularly, it might be a bit difficult at first to keep track and remember to take them everyday. Eventually, though, you’ll be able to incorporate it in your lifestyle. Think baby’s health and development always. 🙂 I’m thankful, too, for my husband, who had placed alarms in my Fitbit Force gadget to remind me to take my pills (originally, he placed the alarms so I’d remember to walk in the office and not sit all the time). Must read here how supportive and helpful he is!
Here are some of the vitamins my OB advised me to take.
1. Folic Acid ( at least 1000 mcg a day)
Taking folic acid, as I found out from my of-age women friends and other married friends, should be taken even when you’re not pregnant, and months before if you’re planning to have a baby. This will help prevent birth defects on your baby, which is really a very important pill to take.
I took folic acid when Dennis and I were trying to have a baby. I was a bit late in taking it since I just found out that I should be taking folic acid way, way before we start trying. So I think I took it just a month before trying, and continued it until my OB advised me to stop taking it.
I was confused with the dosage, though. Most of the articles I read suggest at least 400 mcg a day, and not more than 1000 mcg. However, my sister-in-law’s practitioner advised her to take at least 4000 mcg a day. I just settled with 1000 mcg a day since my OB didn’t prescribed me to take more.
2. Obimin Plus, Vitamin C and Iberet-Folic
When we found out that we were pregnant (check this post for that exciting moment of our lives), our OB added a few more vitamins, what you might call collectively as prenatal vitamins, for me to take with the folic acid. Here are a few info about them.
Obimin Plus
This pill has all the essential nutrients for you and your baby. It’s a multi-vitamin for pregnant women. Most likely, your practitioner will prescribe you to take this.
Vitamin C
We all know that taking vitamin C helps with your immune system. I take this from time to time when I wasn’t pregnant yet, and decided to take it regularly when I got pregnant, and when we met with our OB, she also advised us to take it. This is also important because you don’t want to get your immune system comprised when you have a tiny fetus who has very low immune system inside you.
Iberet-Folic 500
This is actually an iron supplement. I was given this because I don’t eat meat (beef and pork), which is a main source of iron. Iron is important in your developing fetus of course. It is also a multi-vitamin because it has other nutrients. However, the main “ingredient” it has is iron, so you still need the other prenatal vitamins to have the complete nutrients.
3. Calcium (Calciumade)
When I was nearing the end of my first trimester, my OB added calcium in may daily prenatal vitamins, and took out folic acid. So by this time, my 16th week, my prenatal vitamins include Obimin Plus, Vitamin C, Iberet and Calcium. At this stage, your baby is developing his/her limbs, spine, bones, so this supplement is really important. Aside from this, I also drink a glass of milk a day.
Taking these all at once is not advisable. For one, calcium and iron shouldn’t be taken at the same time. You should at least take them an hour apart because calcium prevents your body from absorbing iron. Also, taking them all at the same time will upset your stomach. At least that’s what happened to me before, when I took all those big pills together. So, as per my OB’s advice, I take Iberet and Vitamin C (which are good together) in the morning after breakfast (just make sure that if you drink milk, wait at least an hour before taking your iron supplement). After a few hours, usually in the afternoon, I take my Obimin Plus. Lastly, after dinner I take my calcium.
Mommy
thanks for the information, i’m 15 weeks pregnant and usually take calcium and iron at the same time. not following what my ob prescribe time in taking those med.
Hi Mae. You should take them separately now, at least an hour apart. You might be wasting your money taking them at the same time because calcium prevents your body from taking in iron. 🙂 Congratulations on your pregnancy!
hi, I take iberet folic and ob max in the morning with milk..I didn’t know that milk will lessen the iron content of what im taking..my ob didn’t advice me about this fact. anyway, thank you for the info.
Hi Mitzi! I think sometimes they forget. Maybe for them it’s like a common knowledge already that they forget to mention it to us new moms hehe.
hello is it bad.. that I am taking obimin plus together with calcium? ohh i hope not that bad.. I always had that together taken. Im 19 weeks preggy 🙁
Hi Stephanie. There shouldn’t be a problem. 🙂 I used to do the same. I drank my Obimin and Calciumate at the same time. If you have a weak stomach though, it’s better to drink them an hour apart. I used to get an upset stomach drinking all the vitamins at once.
Hi Stephanie,i am 16 weeks Preg.my Doc advice me not to take Obimin and Calciumate together.its better if you take them at least gap of few hours.
Can iron supplement be taken during 1st trimister? As I eat beef n mutton n chicken. So overdose may create a problem I guess… I m taking iberet folic should i continue or stop taking it?
Hi Sonia! One of my mommy friends didn’t take any supplements when she was pregnant. I think not even Obimin Plus. She wasn’t advised by her OB also because she was having enough iron from the food she ate. It might be best to ask your OB about taking anything, even supplements. In my case, though, I was advised by my OB to take these supplements around 5 weeks of pregnancy up until I gave birth. It’s because I don’t eat pork or beef. 🙂
hi, my first ob gyne gave me aprescription oof obimin and iberet once a day, sinve we moved to a new place i need to get another ob and she said i should not take obimin together with iberet since there is a recent study where she read that there is something i forgot what is it that can cause autism if im going to take those meds. she told me i can take it everyother day, if i take iberet now i will take obimin tomorrow but im confused, i want to make sure my baby is healthy.
Hi Haiz. I haven’t heard about that research. I was taking my Obimin and Iberet at the same time when I was pregnant and Light turned out fine naman. 🙂 I think it’s up to you. My OB suggested that I take Iberet before because I wasn’t eating pork or beef so my iron intake wasn’t enough. I have a friend who didn’t take any prenatal supplements at all during her pregnancy and her baby was healthy. If you want to be sure, you can follow your new OB. Just eat meat I guess so your iron intake will be enough. 😀
Hi im in the stage of confuse if i am pregnant or not my last menstration was last sept 2,2016 and its only day..this oct im delayed for 5 days.i notice i fell dizziness,constipated,and i feel so tired.im 34 yrs old and if pregnant hopefully this is my first baby..i take folart(folic acid)everyday.please help me do i need to go my ob or just wait for few more days?
Hi Jacqueline. You can take a pregnancy test first. And remember to wait a few minutes because sometimes the lines don’t appear immediately. Good luck! 🙂
I just read about obimin and can take it before, during and after pregnancy..is that true? Been trying to get preggy…hopefully this will help
Hi Sarah. I’ve heard some mommies taking Obimin even after pregnancy. I used to take it during and after pregnancy, until my daughter was about a year old. It was prescribed by my OB that I take it even after pregnancy since I was breastfeeding. My OB said that Obimin Plus has DHA which is good for babies so it’s good to take when breastfeeding. I’m not sure if it helps women get pregnant. You can ask your OB about it. 🙂 But I do hope you get pregnant, and let us know when you do, or if indeed Obimin helped. I’m excited for you! 🙂
Hello! Thank you for the info you have provided. I just have a question though… Im 8 weeks preggy now and Im taking Mosvit Elite and Folic acid recommended by my first Ob. I usually take the vitamins after breakfast. What do you think is the best time to take these vitamins? Because Ive also read in a blog that this certain woman is taking Mosvit before bedtime. Im taking these vitamins for over a month now.. Im just curious of when is the best time of the day to take it. And oh, i only drink Pro Mama once a day before bedtime. I heard from friends i should drink the milk twice a day.. Would that be a problem? Thank you so much in advance!
Hi Keshia. Congratulations on your pregnancy! 🙂 I like taking my vitamins spread out throughout the day to avoid getting an upset stomach. I’m not sure with Mosvit but my OB did mention that taking calcium before bedtime is a good time to take it. That’s why I took Calciumade before I sleep at night. I think depending on your weight, if you’re not overweight you can drink maternal/prenatal milk twice a day. I was overweight during my pregnancy so my OB suggested I didn’t take any of those anymore and just drink a glass of ordinary cow’s milk a day. 🙂
Can i take the calciumade without taking the prenatal vitamins?
Hi Mommy! It should be fine. Not all expectant moms are prescribed to take all the prenatal vitamins. If you need to take Calciumade only, it should be fine. Just make sure you get enough nourishments from your food or diet.
I am 7 weeks pregnant, Is it ok to take calcium lactate?
Hi Mharj. I think it’s okay. Most pregnant women are prescribed by their OBs to take calcium supplements. I was taking it during and after pregnancy. You should double check with your OB though. Sometimes we don’t need them anymore since we’re getting enough calcium from our diet.
Hi.. i have difficulties in swallowing pills, especially those big ones, can i open up the shell or crushed the pills? Tq in advance.
Hi Georgina. I think there’s no problem if you cut or crush the pills. I also think getting rid of the capsule shell is okay. You can ask your OB what she thinks too. 🙂
Hi.. Now I’m preggy 7weeks… I more to eat meat like beef pork… But every night I feel so tired & sleepy… What vitamin or prenatal pill should I take to make me more energetic ?
Hi Sandy! Congratulations on your pregnancy. 🙂 You should ask your OB about vitamins or taking any medication. It’s safer that way. Lack of energy and sleepiness, unfortunately, are part of pregnancy. I think most pregnant women experience those. I would recommend carrying healthy snacks like fruits around so you’ll have energy boosters when you feel tired or sleepy. And try to sleep early at night or get enough sleep so you’ll feel refreshed the next day. 🙂
Any vitamin c will do?
Hi Chay! I took my vitamins spread out through the day, as soon as possible. So sometimes after an hour of taking Calciumade, I would take my vitamin C. My OB didn’t prescribe me any particular vitamin C, too. I told her I used to take Fern-C and she said it was fine. You can double check with your OB, but I think any vitamin C will do. 🙂
I am 22 weeks pregnant. Since my feet started to swell my OB suggested to take calciumade twice a day so I take one in the morning after breakfast and one after dinner and Obimin Plus before bed time. I am also taking Nakaron capsule on mid day. Just wanna ask if what would be the best time to take my vitaminC (sodium ascorbate – Royale’-C) and was it safe to take this kind of Vit.C?
Hi,I am 13 weeks pregnant,my doctor give me obimin,wondering what’s the best time to take those vits.? Thanks
Hi Mitchie, I’m also pregnant now (my second pregnancy) and is taking prenatal vitamins again. I find it best to take Obimin after lunch. I don’t get an upset stomach if I take it just after having my meal. 🙂
Hi, I wanna ask. Now i 17th weeks of pregnancy, i just recovered from body rashing. Can i take my Obimin vitamin? Any effect?
Hi mommy! I’ve never heard of any allergy cases when taking Obimin. I think unless you have specific allergies to certain meds. Still best to ask your OB about it. 🙂
can i take calcium and obimin plus at desame time?
Hi Jackilyn! It should be okay. But I’ve been told by my OB before that it’s better to take calcium right before bedtime. You might have an upset stomach if you take calcium and obimin late at night.
Hi it is okay to take only Obimin Plus softgel im 2 Months Pregnant and my OB only Advice me to take Obimin Plus Daily I am worried because some of my friends told me that they dont even take obimin because obimin have a paraben? is this true?
Thank you for your reply 😀
Hi Charlene! It’s the first time I’ve heard of this about Obimin Plus. You should talk with your OB about your concern. I took Obimin Plus during my first pregnancy and all was well with me and my daughter. Now I’m taking it again in my second pregnancy.
Ah okay Thank you very much for your reply Godbless youu
hi. is it okay to take the obimin plus and hemarate at the same time ?
Hi Rhea! Upon quick research, Obimin Plus and Hemarate contain the same vitamins or ingredients. I think taking them together might get too strong for your stomach. Also, since they are just the same, do you really need to take both? You might want to consult your OB about this.
kahit nga po ako nagtataka din
obimin plus at hemarate din po sa akin tapos 2x a day pa . nakakatakot
Is it normal to have upset stomach and nauseous after taking obimin plus? I’m 6weeks. Actually took the pill 30 mins after my lunch.
Then I have hemarate and calciumade at night time.
Hi Mariel, sometimes when I just have a light lunch and I take Obimin Plus right after, I get an upset stomach. I would have to eat more after taking the vitamins. I’m not sure but it could also be that since you’re still in the early first trimester, you’re having morning sickness that’s why you get nauseous, and it might not be because of the vitamins. Or perhaps both because of morning sickness and the pills.
When I checked online, Obimin Plus and Hemarate seemed to be just the same. I’m curious now why you have to take both? 🙂 Both vitamins have Iron so I think it may be better if you don’t take them with calciumade immediately.
im 16 weeks preggy, im taking ferrous and clusivol ob, i planed to switch obimin plus instead of clusivol ob what do you think
Hi Mommy! I think they comprise of the same vitamins lang naman. It should be okay. 🙂
Hi, Just wanted to ask about the vitamins, I had my vacation last month and bough vitamins for 2 months period ( Calciumade and Obmin Plus Softgel capsule both from Bio femme) – OB advised me to take the calciumade twice a day.. But I’m taking only once a day.
I’m 16 weeks pregnant. Until when can i take those vitamins? and i saw on the comment that should be taking it in between not on the same time which I’m doing for a month now i guess. I need to finished my stocks because no one will take those vitamins. Any advise ladies? TIA<3
Hi Mommy! I only take Calciumade once a day too as per OB’s advice. Maybe your OB thinks you need more? You will definitely need more calcium as your baby grows. But you can also get calcium from drinking milk.
I continued taking Obimin Plus and Calciumade even after giving birth. My OB said that it might help (as studies showed) in the development of the baby since I was breastfeeding and Obimin has DHA. So she suggested I continue taking it.
hi dear, thank for your reply. What about the Calciumade? i have for 3 months stocks.. im in 4 months now so i can take it till to 6 months till i finish.
Yes mommy. You can continue it even after giving birth. Specially if you plan to breastfeed your baby, you’ll need the extra calcium. 🙂
Very usefull info ? My ob prescribed me calvit, trihemic and obimin but obimin plus have also calcium and iron is it ok to take this all three In the same day? Also SA 1st tri q I take folic 400 mcg and now obimin plus have 1000mcg is it safe to
Continue taking folic acid now I’m 4 mos pregnant. Thank you!
Hi Mommy! I’m taking calciumade, iberet and obimin plus everyday as per advice of my OB. Those comprise my prenatal vitamins. I take them a few hours apart so I don’t get an upset stomach. I think it’s okay to take more coz you’ll need extra for your baby. 🙂
As for folic acid, I did take both obimin and folic at the same time for some time. But just to finish my stash of folic. After i finished them, I no longer took additional folic acid. Just the three vitamins – obimin, calciumade and iberet (which is iron supplement).
Where can i buy the obmin vitamin which is cheaper than the pharmacy?
Hi Mommy. I buy mine at Dyna Drugstore in Binondo Manila.
Hi! Until when a pregnant women should take obimin plus?
Hi Mommy! I was taking Obimin Plus even after pregnancy. My OB advised me to keep taking it.
Hi? Is it okay to take the obimin plus and folic acid at the same time? Im 7months pregnant..
Hi Mommy! I used to take them together. Obimin plus has folic acid too so it should be fine. 🙂
hi i just wanna ask if i can take calciumade and hemarate at the same time? will it have any effects on my my pregnancy? i usually take both after dinner. thanks
Hi Mommy! Hemarate I think is an iron supplement right? I would suggest taking it an hour after calciumade. Calcium inhibits iron absorption so if you take them together, sayang lang un iron coz your body won’t be able to absorb it.
Hi Mommies I just wanna share I am currently 6mos pregnant and Mommy is correct it is better for IRON supplements to be taken separately with calcium supplements and also Iron Supplements will be best absorbed with Ascorbic acid.
Hi mommies ibwanted to ask how many weeks pregnant i can start takinh obimin plus.thank u
Hi Mommy! I think I was prescribed to take Obimin around middle of first trimester. You should ask your OB if you need to take them or if she recommends taking prenatal vitamins. Some OBs think it’s not necessary anymore.
Your info is very helpful . But I also want to ask if pwede bang sabay inumin ang obimin plus and calciumade or dapat may pagitan na atleast an hour? Thank you
Hi Mommy! I suggest taking them an hour apart pa din. To avoid an upset stomach. I’m not sure if Obimin has iron in it, but just to be sure, just take them at least an hour apart. 🙂
Just want an advise.. im taking obimin and calcium 600mg once daily.. since obimin plus have 1000mcg.. can i still take folic acid 5 mg?? Pls i need an answer..thankyou
Hi Mommy! If I remember correctly, there was a time when I was taking Obimin and folic acid. But I was adviced by my OB to just finish the remaining folic acid I had and not continue taking them. Maybe you should ask your OB about it if you still need additional folic acid when you’re already taking Obimin Plus.
Hi…i just gave birth a couple weeks ago. Since i breastfeeding my baby, Can i take iberet folic 500?
Hi Jinie, it should be fine to take it and breastfeed. 🙂
iam 2 weeks pregnant and my ob advice me to take folic acid w/vit B. is it ok to take obimin plus?
Hi mommy tin. I think it should be okay. But better ask your OB. I think some OBs think you don’t need to take some prenatal vitamins like with my friend. She didnt take any since her OB said there’s no need. Maybe your OB thinks you only need folic with vitamin B?
hi! I’m already in my 2 months when I found out that I’m pregnant. My OB prescribed OBIMIN only. He didn’t give me folic acid. How’s that? What do you think?
Hi mommy, that’s alright. Obimin has folic na din so no need to take additional folic acid anymore. In my case, I just needed to finish my stash because I was taking folic before pregnancy that’s why at one point I was taking Obimin and folic at the same time. But after i finished my folic acid, my OB didn’t prescribed I take it anymore. Just obimin plus, iron supplement and calciumade.
Hi sis I just wanna ask if still okay na mag take ako nang Obimin, calciumade and Vitamin C . 4 months na ako ngayong preggy di na kasi ako bumalik sa Ob ko kasi malayo nahirap ajo mag travel. Yang vitamins ko nung 2months payan niresita skin ng ob. So, if 4. Months to 9 months pwedi kupa rin bang inumin Yan?
Hi sis. It should be okay. I was taking Obimin Plus and Calciumade all throughout my pregnancy, and even after, while I was breastfeeding. Yung Vitamin C naman I think won’t hurt too if you take it. Pang boost ng immune system lang din. 🙂
Kasi yung binigay sakin ng ob ko sis Calciumade and Obimin lang, eh yung binigay nman Sakin ng midwife ferrus and Ascorbic Acid(Vitamin C). So yung gusto ko malaman sis okay lang Ba na Yang tatlo I. Te take ko as my vitamins?? Calciumade, Obimin and Vitamin C? Is it okay if 3 yung te. Take ko?? Thank you so much
Yes mommy. Okay lang un 3 until manganak ka. Even after I suggest you take them pa din kasi un Obimin has DHA and good for the baby daw. Un lang din naman usually mga prenatal vitamins na pinapainom. 🙂
Cge sis, thank-you so much sa information. Godbless mommy ☺☺
Last sis, yung pag take Ba nang obimin what is good? Before eating or after? Salamat sis
I suggest after eating na lang sis. Ako kasi I get an upset stomach if I eat it ng gutom or even if kulang un kain. So I take it after a full meal usually lunch time. 🙂
Hi, I’m 9weeks pregnant and my ob prescribe me only Obimin Plus evening ko sya iniinom. Hindi niya ako nirecitahan ng Folic acid. So nagdecide ako dagdagan ng Folart(folic Acid) one in the morning and one in the evening. Tito ko binigyan ako ng Hemarate (Iron + Multivitamis) question ko po okay lang ba na inomin ang Hemarate sa morning sabay ng folart and Obimin plus and Folart in the evening? Thanks.
Hi mommy, it should be fine naman yung combination ng pagtake mo ng vitamins. I’m just worried you might be taking too much? You should ask your OB na din if you need all those vitamins. Coz Obimin Plus has folic na din e. And usually we take it when trying pa lang to get pregnant. Then not that much na after getting pregnant. 🙂
Thanks you so much. And thanks for this blog it help us a lot esp. first time moms like me.
You’re welcome mommy Kristine! So happy to have helped you. 🙂
Hi my iron content ba ang obimin plus?
Hi, im 12 weeks pregnant ang nireseta lang ni ob is obimin plus and milk na enfamama. Nagtataka lang ako kc yung ibang nabasa ko dito nagtatake na ng iron, calcium.. ok lang ba magtake ako ng iron?medyo mababa kasi BP ko nung checkup.
Hi Mommy! I’m sure it’s okay. But just to be sure, you can ask your OB na rin. 🙂
hello po.ok lang po ba yung nabili ko na calciumade sa drugstore walang nakalagay na biofemme? pero same ng packaging safe po ba yun para sa baby ko I am 26weeks pregnant
Hi Mommy, I really can’t say. I think you should check with the drug company mismo?
Hi, I’m a first time mom, My first OB visit pang-12wks ko na, she prescribed me Mosvit Elite Cap 10g, at Calcitect.. both 3x/day to take..
Pero di ko yata keri kainin 3x a day atsaka ang gastos.. Ok lang kaya kahit 1-2x/day? until delivery ba ‘to itatake?
Thanks
Mommy, you can ask your OB kasi bka she feels you need more vitamins? Or maliit lang kasi yung dose kaya 3x a day? Better to ask your OB na lang your concerns.
Hi, I am 7 weeks pregnant. OBMom po yung binigay ng OB ko na vitamins. My friend give me OBIMIN Plus and Calciumade. pwede na po ba ako uminon ngayon ng OBIMIN and Calciumade sabay yung vitamins na OBMom?
I think they may be the same type of vitamins. Just different brands. You should just take either Obimin or the OBMom. Not both at the same time baka ma-over ka na.
Thank you po mam. will just finish taking OBMom tapos saka na ako mag OBIMIN after maubos. mam pwede narin po ba ako mag take ng calciumade now kahit 8 weeks palang baby ko? Thank you!
i mean 7 weeks pa baby ko. 🙂
Yes, mommy. It should be fine to take calciumade. 🙂
hi…im 24weeks pregnant…ag iniinom ko nman usana biomega,usana calcium,obimin at hemarate FA…may nkainom nba sa inyo ng usana….mas maganda daw kse yan lalo na ung biomega para sa heart and brain ni baby…at maganda din daw ang calcium ng usana…very expensive lng tlga…
Hi sis..im 11months pregnant now..nag bigay c OB ng vit..obimin..kaso sumasakit ulo ko..di ko alm bk dla n dn ng paglliihi ko dahil naobserbahan ko na kht di kao uminom..ganun p dn un narrmdaman ko..ok lng b na ituloy ko un?..thank u and God bless.
Hi mommy! Personally, I think prenatal vitamins are important and I believe they help in the development of our babies. But there are other moms who didn’t take any kind of prenatal vitamins and their babies turned out fine too. So it’s up to you if you want to continue and if you can tolerate the headache. You may also ask your OB for other brands of prenatal vitamins. Baka mas hiyang ka sa ibang brands. 🙂
Hi ..i usually take obimin and calciumade at the same time not knowing that its not advisable?? Oh im so worried now for my baby’s health
-7 months pregnant here
Hi Mommy. That’s fine, don’t worry. The only reason I don’t recommend taking them all at the same time is because in my experience, I had an upset stomach. But if you can handle it, that’s okay. 🙂
Hello! Thank you for this post. Very helpful!
I have a question regarding folic acid — I’m currently taking Folicare (400mcg) + Omibin Plus (1000mcg) folic acid = totaling to 1,400 mcg of folic acid. Is that too much? Both vitamins were prescribed by my OB, I’d like to think she the best in mind for me and my baby, of course!
But I’ve read online that 1,000mcg should be the maximum. Just wanted to get other mommies’ take on this.
Hi Mommy! Thank you so much for dropping by. 🙂 I think you should raise your concern with your OB. My OB asked me to stop taking my folic acid a few weeks into my first trimester. She said I should just finished what I had and not take anymore. Although I think 1400 mcg is still okay. But just in case, let her know about it. Maybe she’ll ask you to drop folicare na. I mean if we really don’t need to put these things in our body, the better db? 🙂
Hi po . Ask ko lang if nag tatake nako ng Obimin Plus pwede rin po ba ako mag take ng Iberet ? Hindi pi ba sila parehong Multivitamins lang ? Lowblood po kasi ako e ??
Hi Mommy Jean! It should be fine. I used to take Iberet din kahit na I’m taking Obimin Plus. Normally you don’t really have to but if like in my case since I don’t eat pork and beef, my OB suggested I take Iberet. Then in your case, low blood ka naman so that’s why she prescribes you to take it. 🙂
Buti ka pa you can take it all. I am prescribed with Iberet and Calcium before pero lahat sinusuka so they switched me to Obimin Plus instead. My OB said it contains everything that I needed so I can drop the other supplements na. First time ko na Obimin kagabi. Hnd ko naman sinusuka sana mag tuloy tuloy na 🙂 Hoping for safe pregnancy to everyone 🙂
Hi Mommy Jane! Yes, kaya naman as long as I’m well fed haha. If I take it with an empty stomach or not enough food in my tummy, I feel something weird talaga. Like I wanna throw up din. I do hope Obimin Plus suits you all the way! 🙂
Hi! I’m on my 13th week now. I am only prescribed Obmin by my OB… I am taking this vitamins for 3weeks already since I was only prescribed folic acid before. These past few days I observe some changes on my vomiting. As I take my vitamin before I sleep, I wake up in after 2-3hours of sleep just to throw up… And at that time, my vitamin is already in the process of breaking down nutrients. But just being throw up. Sayang and disgusting pa ang lasa! Since I read your article to take it after lunch, I might as well consider to take it during this time. Thank you for this info!
hello po mommy…..i take iberet folic acid and i’m 4 weeks pregnant….ok lang po ba un??
pde din po ba q magtake ng bewell-C with calcium kahit buntis?
Hi mommy! Iberet is usually one of the vitamins prescribed by OBs for pregnant women to take. It should be okay. Vitamin C also is okay. 🙂 I would still ask or inform my OB though, that I’m taking these vitamins just so he/she is informed lang. 🙂 Congrats on your pregnancy!
Hello po . Ask lang.. i take calciumade after bfast and mosvit elite after dinner, As what my OB said .. pwede po ba ako uminom ng obimin plus ?? Im on my third trimester na. 8months na po..
Can i take iberet kahit hndi pa ako pregnant? Balak ko kasi mag baby na after i have misscarage before
Hi Kate! Iberet naman is just a vitamin. It should be okay to take.
Hello po good evening I’m Mary Jane 3 months na po tiyan ko pwede na po ba ako uminom ng calcium med at obimin ..
Hi Mommy! I started taking my meds as early as 7 weeks pa lang. It should be okay. But I suggest you let your OB know din para sure tayo. 🙂
Hi is it fine to take obimin plus and ferrous at the same time?
Hi mommy! I was taking obimin and iron supplement (not ferrous though) at the same time before. But I tried not to take them together since it upsets my stomach. so I take them at least an hour apart.
It should be fine if you were prescribed by your OB to take ferrous also. But I remember it made my poop hard kasi so if you don’t need naman, I suggest don’t take it anymore. The obimin should be enough.
good day! my doctor prescribed me obimin plus, onima and calvin plus.
hi ask ko lang po kung ok ba yung 2x a day pag inom ng mga vitamins ?
tatlo kasi nireseta sa akin
obimin plus, hemarate at calvin plus
yung tatlo na yan 2x a day sya iinumin . salamat po sasagot
Hi Mommy! Naku, I’m not so sure. Parang sobra naman ata 2x a day. I’m not sure if may iba’t ibang grams un mga vitamins baka mas mababa un niriseta sayo that’s why you have to take it 2x a day. I hope other moms here will be able to help you.
If there are moms who have been prescribed the same thing, kindly share your thoughts! 🙂
ok po ba yung obimin plus at hemarate ng sabay ? kasi same lang din po sila na multivitamins di ba po ?
Hi mommy Arlene joy ganyan din po prescribe sakin ng OB ko obimin at calvin plus 2x a day…
Hi mommy, i am on my 26th month, and i decided to take iberet. My ob prescibed me trihemic. But i think iberet is much more okay than trihemic since the ob of previous child recommended iberet and the result is okay. Can i just buy the iberet over the counter and take it instead the prescibed one? Thanks
Hi Mommy Kay,
It should be okay since both are iron supplements. But I still suggest letting your OB know about it just in case she has some concerns with the different brands. 🙂 Enjoy your pregnancy!
Hi, Im 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant now.. my OB prescribed me Obimin plus and Hemarate and take it once daily in the morning. Sabay ko sila iniinom after that nakakaramdam ako ng pagsusuka at parang naninikip dibdib. So ginawa ko ginawa ko morning Hemarate still upset na naman stomach ko then lunch Obimin para malaman ko side effect nung dalawa. I decided na itigil muna hemarate dahil di sakin hiyang. Okay lang po ba yon?
Thanks
Hi Mommy, it should be okay or ask your OB if may ibang brands na okay.
Hi can i take 2 of folic acid a day? Trying to conceive
Hi mommy! I think depends on the dosage per tablet. There’s a maximum amount so better to ask your OB about it. 🙂
Hello po 3months pregnant po ako ilang buwan po ba dapat inomin ang obimin saka d po ako. Uminom ng folic acid salamat po
Hi Mommy Liezel! I continued taking my Obimin Plus mga 1 year after giving birth. Sabi it also helps pa din the baby since you are breastfeeding. Okay lang siguro if you don’t take folic anymore. Ako pina-stop na din sakin un folic after first trimester if my memory serves me correctly. 🙂 Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Hi maam, im 4months pregnant. Pwede ko lng po ba pag sabayin inuman ang obimin plus at ang nakaron?
Hi mommy! Nakaron is parang prenatal vitamins din ata. So same lang siya ng Obimin plus. Bka sobra sobra na and you don’t need to take both. Sayang lang. Better ask your OB about it. 🙂
Hello, ask ko lang po kung ilan beses s isang araw pwede inumin ung obimin plus?
Usually once a day lang mommy.
I am taking OBimin plus kaya lang everytime na kunti lang yong kinakain ko sumusuka ako.. Do you have the same experience? 5 months na preggy
Yes same here. Better kain ka muna nang husto. 🙂
Hi momshie’ I’m searching for some meds and saw your blog.. is it ok to take folic acid and obimin plus and vim.C (poten-cee) I’m on my 5weeks. Thank you.
Yes, usually yun ang mga pinapainom sa buntis. 🙂
Hi! I’m 35weeks pregnant and I’m taking obimin also every time i take obimin after an hour nagsusuka n q. Ask q hindi ata q hiyang? Xa afternoon or evening kc q nagtatake cmula nagstart aq magtake non nagsusuka n q ?
I think there are alternatives if hindi talaga kaya ng body mo i-take un obimin like pre-natal milk. i’ve heard na okay lang un instead of mga vitamins. But better ask your OB muna for alternatives. 🙂
Hello po pwdi na po ba aq mgtake ng obimin plus at calciumade? I’m 5 weeks pregnant po…
Yes, okay lang. Just advice your OB din.
Hello po bali nasa 5months na po ako and ang prenatal na binigay sakin is materna pero gusto meron po akong obmin plus at hemarate na binigay naman po galing ng pinas sabi masmaganda daw na un ang itake ko rather than this prenatal na binigay sakin dito ng ob ko doto sa canada.. ok lang po ba na ubusin ko nalang muna ung obmin plus and hemarate na vitamin po? Ano po sa tingin niyo mga mommy
For me it should be okay naman. Both will help in your pregnancy naman. 🙂
Hi po. Ano po ba pwedi ko itake na vitamins po for lighter my skin kasi after ako nanganak up to now 11months na yung baby ko hindi pa ako nagka means po tapos nag dark po yung skin ko. Any recommend vitamins po?
Because of lockdown due to covid-19 hnd pa ako nagpa checkup 4month na po tiyan ko nag te take po ako now ng iberet folic 500,obimin plus at cholecalciferol+calcium once a day at hnd po ako sure kung OK lng po ba ang mga ito para sa baby ko. Salamat
Yes, should be okay. 🙂

Hi mommy! I took Obimin PLus for both my pregnancy and babies were healthy naman. 🙂 You can try that.
Thank you Mommy ? very helpful talaga tong blog mo.
Kumusta na baby now? Baby girl siya o boy?
You’re welcome and thank you for dropping by also. 🙂 We now have a girl and a boy. 🙂
hi.. my ob gave mi obimin when i am still pregnant.. can i continue taking it even i am now breastfeeding with my 1month LO ?
Hi mommy! Yes, it should be okay to continue. I remembered my OB telling me that taking the vitamins help the babies as well. That when we breastfeed the nutrients gets transferred to them as well. 🙂 Congratulations!
Hai ,pwede ko ba pagsabayin i take ang FERICAP cr ( ferrous , folic ,cyanocobalamin) and mosvit elite ?
Hi mommy. It should be okay. fericap ata is mostly for iron deficiency and if i’m not mistaken mosvit is a multi vitamin. but still ask your OB if you need to take both. bka one is enough na. 🙂
My OB has advised me to take obimin plus, folic acid, vitamin C and ferrous sulfate..I’m quite worried because there many. May I ask if this is OK?
Hi Mommy Cecil, I think these are the standard prenatal vitamins that are being prescribed. I took these also when I was pregnant before. The folic acid was removed after a while because obimin plus already has folic. I would just suggest taking them in separate times though if you feel like you’re having an upset stomach after taking the vitamins. that was my experience before. 🙂
Hi anyone know, vitamin c 1000 mg safe during pregnancy
Hi mommy, you might want to ask your OB about this. You may not need that much though especially if you are taking other prenatal vitamins. 🙂
when did you take obimin plus and iberet folic? First trimester? Some say iton is not needed in first trimester yet and should be on the 2nd trimester.. Im confused. I used to take Iberet Folic and Obimin Plus and now I just drink Obimin Plus.
Hi Mommy. i think it depends. For me since my diet didn’t have enough protein (I don’t eat pork or beef), my OB prescribed Iberet early on. If you think you don’t need it you can put off taking it. Best to talk to your OB about it also. 🙂
Pwede ba pagsabayin calcium+vit.d3+minerals caltrate plus , obimin and ferrous fumarate + folic acid anemicon plus?
Hi mommy, better to ask your OB po parang ang dami po kasi and almost the same sila. you may not need that much po.
Hello, I’m 13 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I only take Obimin Plus and my OB also required me B Complex Polynerv. Is it ok if I will take also Calciummade? I also have milk Enfamama.
What will happen if i take obimin plus twice a day?
Hi Jayceryl, you may want to ask your OB if you really need to take the vitamins twice a day. You may not need to. 🙂
Hi po. i just want to ask if Obimin plus can take also even if im not pragnant? as i’ve read the comment here Obimin plus prescribed by OB most of the pragnant women.
Thank you 🙂
Hi my Ob gave me mama fer and Calciumade. I take Calciumade after my breakfast and mama fer after dinner. Is it right? I am 24 weeks pregnant .
