Hi,
If your vitamin D3 levels are low, you would need additional supplements, but too many supplements are not needed provided you take proper diet and get ample sunlight exposure. The judgement remains with your obstetrician as your clinical condition is the criterion for the prescription. Iron supplements are needed from this stage of pregnancy as the needs of pregnancy are highest during the second trimester. Please have a discussion with your consultant as to the need of multiple vitamin D3 supplements. Wish you safe motherhood.
