Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome back to Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
Let me reassure you, you need not take all vitamins during pregnancy.
Folic acid and iron and calcium are given routinely in pregnancy because the requirement for these increased during pregnancy.
Haemoglobin of 12 grams/dl is considered adequate during pregnancy, you will need to just continue taking iron supplements as usual.
Vitamin B12 is present only in meat and dairy products, so if you consume meat, continue consuming meat during the entire pregnancy and after pregnancy, you will not require additional vitamin B12 in the form of tablets.
However, if you insist, you can take Becosules capsules one capsule every day.
Both haemoglobin and platelet counts are withing normal range, so do not worry.
Hope this answers your query.
Wishing you safe pregnancy.
Best regards
