Congrats!  You definitely need to get Folic Acid on the list.!  I would call your OB and strongly remind them of your surgery and your concerns over getting sufficient vitamins, they can easily send you for lab work to make sure. I did and told them I really felt due to the special cir****tances that I should be seen earlier rather than later, as many OB's don't want to see you till about 8 weeks or so.  Each person is going to be different, so while one of us may need to double their iron, that may not be what you need, and you should be very careful, only do what you doc tells you to do as far as medications and vitamins  Vitamins, especially Iron, could easily make you sick if you take too much.

If it helps I am 8 years out, and didn't do a lot of follow up either, my doc ended up moving too far away and I didn't care for the new doctors that took over.  You have to be strong and stand up for things, also do not let your OB make you take the glucola test for the gestational diabetes, there are other options, that is unless you don't dump.

Best of luck!
