hello dear,
if you are allergic you must not take milk and milk products.
calcium is must. you have to take atleast 500mg calcium daily. apart from this you should take folic acid tablets and iron capsule daily , this should be enough.
dont go for multivitamins.
wishing you a happy motherhood.
thank you
