I like expensive pee, so, in my case no, but only b/c that's my fetish don't peeshame me. If you are deficient in something it makes sense to not be deficient in it but also that's something that can be confirmed clinically with bloodwork. I was on a vit-D supplement for a while. Multivitamins are a hodgepodge of poo poo that may or may not be in a form which is particularly bioavailable, which you may or may not be deficient in, and which you may or may not actually metabolize well even if you are deficient because the FDA barely looks at this poo poo beyond "you can't put CURES DISEASES! on the label, or we'll come own you". That said, it's still the basic standard of care at least in the US to suggest that pregnant and postnatal women take specific vitamins, but, I think that may come down to Americans generally having poo poo diets and doctors thinking it's easier to get stressed out people to take a pill than completely reinvent their diet. Now, if we're talking supplements in general -- magnesium in a highly absorbable form is something that maybe more people should take because maybe most americans are pretty deficient (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5786912/, https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/study-half-of-all-americans-are-magnesium-deficient), but that's not some magic random thing that just happened, it's because not only do our diets suck, our farming practices suck even more and so foods we typically think of as high in magnesium (green leafy vegetables) may actually not be (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7649274/) and that's just down to and modern agriculture in general being completely incompatible with "sustainability". I used to have a lot of muscle tics and tremors. Went away after magnesium supplementation, which was only a thing I thought of because an MD said "hey, you're exhibiting all the signs of mag deficiency and this is cheap and basically harmless to try". I no longer use it on a regular basis.
