Brief Answer:
No need at this stage

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
No dear at your gestation of 1.5 months you don't need calcium, iron and protein.
It is given after completion of 3 months so as to give these supplements when most needed so is best absorbed.
So keep taking progesterone and folic acid only as advised.
Yes you can drive a two wheeler if you are comfortable doing it.
In general -
- take ample rest of at least 9-10 hours a day
- drink good amount of water and milk
- take fresh fruits and vegetables along with almonds and walnuts daily.
- avoid exertion as much as possible
Take care and enjoy this period with positive thoughts and good lifestyle.
Regards
Dr Manisha
