At 5 months (the second trimester), the standard supplements recommended for healthy fetal growth are Iron and Folic Acid (to prevent anaemia), Calcium and Vitamin D3 (for the baby's bone development), and sometimes omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) for brain development. Since you are already taking progesterone and Doxinate, it is crucial to consult your obstetrician before starting any new pills. They will prescribe the exact supplements and dosages tailored to your health and blood test results. Keep eating a nutrient-rich diet and stay hydrated!
