Pregnancy is a time that is filled with anticipation. The first time a woman feels her baby kick, she can’t help but feel a rush of excitement as she imagines her new baby’s personality, smile, tiny hands, tiny feet. With so much to think about, it is important to pay attention to proper nutrition. Your doctor should have made sure that you are taking enough folic acid, an extremely important part of your diet that is crucial in lowering the risk of birth defects in your baby. Most women take a daily prenatal vitamin to make sure that enough folic acid is in their diet. This is crucial in the first 12 weeks, because this is the time that small changes in your vitamin levels can have a big impact on your baby’s development. A prenatal vitamin typically contains Folic Acid and Iron, because a lot of women become iron deficient (anemic) due to their pregnancy.

Another excellent supplement that pregnant women should consider is a daily multivitamin. It has been shown in a recent scientific study involving a close analysis of 36,000 recent mothers, that those who took both a prenatal vitamin and a multivitamin were 17% less likely to have a baby with a low birth weight. It is well worth the cost of a daily supplement to ensure such an important health benefit for your baby.
