Healthy Baby and Pregnancy Vitamins


Prenatal natural vitamins are expressly for women who are pregnant or nursing their children. Many doctors recommend that pregnancy nutrients be taken prior to conception and even following the baby is born for general health of mother and child. It is very crucial to both the health of the baby and the health of the mother that she take vitamins just in case her diet does not provide enough of the nutrients she and her baby need. The nutrients folic acid, calcium and iron are especially important.

Women can have a higher blood count when they replace loss of iron by taking a multivitamin supplement with iron. Another benefit from taking such a supplement it can also cause them to have less tiredness and more energy. Women who have tender breast can find a vitamin E supplement helpful.

Women over the age of thirty five need to take extra calcium every day. Women from the age of thirty five until menopause need 1,000 mg of calcium every day. 1,500 mg per day is needed after menopause. Women who take estrogen after menopause only need 1,000 mg per day because of the effects of estrogen on their bodies they will not require the extra calcium. The Journal of the American Medical Association revealed that taking prenatal vitamins for six weeks or longer before getting pregnant offered some protection against neural tube defects in the baby. The key element seems to be folic acid.

Actualy all nutrients are important to be consumed before, during and after pregnancy for the healthiest baby possible. Nutrients work together like ingredients in a cake recipe. All 31 must be present for any and all to be absorbed and utilized. B vitamins, Omega fish oils, and vitamin D3 is especially important for any mom with risk for depression. Add daily exercise and you can prevent pregnancy and postpartum depression in most cases. Birgitta Lauren expectingfitness com
