Prenatal Vitamins…DO You Really Need Them?
Prenatal Vitamins just might be more important than you think
Prenatal vitamins are a hot topic among many women thesedays and many of them are talking about the benefits ofusing them before getting pregnant. The reasoning is thatprenatal vitamins may help prevent some birth defects.Prenatal vitamins, in my opinion, should probably becomepart of the diet plan for expecting mothers. Pregnancygreatly increases the need for some nutrients and it can behard to meet these needs through diet alone. Iron and folicacid are two such nutrients. Pregnancy is a time when bothmother and baby are growing quickly. This rapid growthincreases the demand for all nutrients, and the developmentof the baby and placenta are directly influenced by themother’s nutritional status. Doctors will often prescribe aprenatal vitamin to a pregnant patient, but some evidencesuggests that vitamins are beneficial for women who areplanning to conceive. The consistent use of prenatalvitamins during pregnancy and breastfeeding is advisable toreduce or avert the chances of nutrition deficiencies.
