Hi there,
It is not necessary for you to take any tablets except for Folic acid during the initial months of the pregnancy. In fact Folic acid is also advised only till 12 weeks of pregnancy the stage at which you are now.
Nexium is to decrease acidity, Zinc is just mineral supplement and Duphaston twice a day is not required unless you are having symptoms of threatened miscarriage.
Please remember that most pregnancies are absolutely normal and do not require much medical intervention. You could relax and discontinue all the above medications.
Iron supplementation is advisable if your hemoglobin is low and calcium is recommended after the 5th month of pregnancy for fetal bones growth.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
