The most essential supplement is a daily prenatal vitamin containing 400 to 800 mcg of Folic Acid to prevent birth defects. You also need Iron to support your blood supply, and Calcium and Vitamin D for the baby's bone development. Additionally, Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) support brain and eye development. Please consult your OB/GYN before starting any regimen, as they will tailor recommendations to your specific health needs. Avoid taking high doses of Vitamin A or any over-the-counter medications without professional medical advice.

What precautions, including safe medications and supplements, should I take during early pregnancy, and is it safe to have intercourse during this time?

In early pregnancy, start taking a daily prenatal vitamin containing folic acid (400 mcg). Avoid alcohol, smoking, excess caffeine, and raw foods. Consult your doctor before taking any medications; paracetamol is generally safe for mild pain, but avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen. Regarding intimacy, intercourse is perfectly safe during a normal, low-risk pregnancy and will not harm your baby. However, you should avoid it and consult your doctor if you experience unexplained bleeding, severe cramping, or if you have been advised otherwise. Always discuss your specific prenatal care plan with your obstetrician.
