Taking additional supplements while taking Pregnacare Plus?

I had a blood test which showed I had low Vit D and B12

I know the vitabiotics pregnacare plus (pregnacare original and omega 3 DHA multipack) have Vit D and I'm also getting outside more in general, but am I able to also take and additional supplement of B12 even though its in pregnancare?

Can I also take Calcium and Magnesium?

Also just to add
I am currently 8 weeks, no midwife yet, my first appointment since I filled in my self referral isn't until 13th Jun

I take pregnancare plus along with a daily asprin, omega 3, vitamin d, vitamin b12 and an extra folic acid, so fat so good I am 16w+5 and been taking this since day 1, checked with midwife and consultant at 12 week scan and no concerns on their end

I think all those are fine to take but I'm my first pregnancy I just phoned my GP, told the receptionist I was pregnant and wasn't sure what i could take and she asked the Dr for me and told me then and there on the phone.

I'm taking the same pregnacare as you and because I have a bowel condition have been told to take additional vitamin D on top and was also prescribed a higher dose folic acid by GP to take as well. May be worth seeing if you can talk to a midwife or GP before your booking appointment. Just to double check safe to do so. Congratulations on your pregnancy.
