Suggest Investigations And Medication For Safe Pregnancy

hi sir/madam,
This is sunitha an Indian from jimma (a place from Ethiopia,north africa).i got conceived & it is in 6th week. here ethiopian doctors confirmed the pregnancy but they didn't prescribe any tablets like folic acid etc...even though we enquired ,they said that your hemoglobin is normal and it is no need for you.
But we are bit scared upon their reply.please kindly suggest me what are the test's (like sugar,thyroid etc..) i should undergo and the tablets to be used for my safe delivery in detail .
Note: This is my first conceive and doesn't have any abortions earlier.My age is 25 years with O+ve blood group.
Thanks a lot in advance for your concern...
With regards,
Sunitha.
