Answer from the Doctor
CoQ10 is an antioxidant that supports cellular energy production and is sometimes recommended to improve fertility and egg quality before conception. However, once pregnant, the focus shifts to supporting fetal growth and maternal health.
Whether to continue CoQ10 during the first trimester depends on your individual health and supplement routine. Most prenatal vitamins already provide the essential nutrients needed at this stage. It’s best to consult your healthcare provider before continuing CoQ10—they can advise on the right dosage or suggest stopping it if unnecessary.
Your doctor will help ensure that all supplements you take are safe and beneficial for both you and your baby.
