Extra Vitamins Needed
Pregnant women and those contemplating pregnancy are advised to take a daily prenatal vitamin that contains 400 micrograms to 600 micrograms of folic acid to help prevent neural tube defects, as well as 18 milligrams to 27 milligrams of iron to prevent iron-deficiency anemia, linked to premature birth and low birth weight babies.
But prenatal supplements do not contain enough calcium; 1,000 milligrams a day are needed to protect a pregnant woman’s bones and build strong bones and teeth in her baby. Be sure to eat enough calcium-rich foods, like milk, cheese and leafy greens, or take a calcium supplement daily.
DHA (short for docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid)-DHA is an important nutrient for the optimal development of an infant's brain and eyes during pregnancy. May be taken after pregnancy to enhance the quality of breast milk.
