Prenatal Vitamins: Why They're Important & Our Customer Favorites
Prenatal vitamins are used to promote a healthy pregnancy and a healthy newborn. They contain a variety of vitamins and minerals that are important for a healthy pregnancy and delivery. Prenatal vitamins contain folic acid, which, is an important nutrient that can prevent certain birth defects, such as spina bifida. Prenatal vitamins usually contain iron, calcium, and a variety of other vitamins and minerals that a woman may be lacking during pregnancy.
Some prenatal vitamins now contain Omega-3 Fatty Acids, such as DHA, which is important for brain and eye development in babies. Omega-3 Fatty Acids are naturally found in fish, such as tuna or salmon. It is a major structural fat in your baby's brain and the retina of your baby's eyes. As many pregnant women are advised to limit the intake of fish, supplementing their diet with DHA can help support healthy fetal brain and eye development.
Also, some prenatal vitamins contain docusate sodium, a stool softener that can help prevent or relieve constipation - which is common during pregnancy and can be made worse by the minerals in prenatal vitamins.
Ideally, women should begin taking a prenatal vitamin, or at least a regular multivitamin with at least 400mg of folic acid - while trying to conceive. It is best to start the vitamin early, as folic acid is important very early in pregnancy. Typically, healthcare providers usually recommend a prenatal vitamin at your first prenatal visit. Until you have seen your health care provider, it's a good idea to take a multivitamin or non-prescription prenatal vitamin.
