Getting pregnant is a beautiful thing and it becomes a joy to each parent to have a baby. Along with carrying a baby for 9 amazing months, you also need to make sure that you keep yourself healthy during this time so as not to jeopardize the health of your baby. When it comes to taking prenatal vitamins, a lot of women find it hard to believe that they actually need it.
So, the question is what do you really need it for? Should you be asking for a prescription to buy these vitamins over the counter at a pharmacy? Before you completely shrug off the idea of taking prenatal vitamins, they are actually not that bad and they have a lot of health benefits.
Before we get down to the benefits, let’s discuss what these vitamins are not. Although they are good for you, these vitamins will not help you avoid the potential risks from eating an unbalanced diet. They are not made to supplement an already balanced diet, which is full of vegetables, lean protein, and carbohydrates.
While a lot of women would prefer to get all of their vitamins and minerals through the food that they eat, many can’t because they have problems absorbing the nutrients in their food, which is why they will need vitamins to help give them the desired outcome.
Taking prenatal vitamins that are from a recommended source and made by a reputable supplement manufacturer will also help your pregnancy by replenishing your body’s nutritional needs and providing an optimal environment for the growth of your baby. Here are some recommended supplements that you should take during your pregnancy:
Not taking prenatal vitamins can put your child at risk because they can form defects, especially in the brain and spine, which can occur during the first few months of pregnancy. It is highly recommended to take prenatal vitamins as soon as you start trying to conceive.
If you are having a problem with conceiving, these vitamins can help you as well. Research has shown that women who take prenatal vitamins with 400 mcg of folic acid, 40% of those women were less likely to experience infertility.
For a lot of mothers, they still continue to take the prenatal vitamins throughout their pregnancy even during breastfeeding.
Most women prefer to take over the counter prenatal vitamins combined with a healthy diet. For some, this already meets their daily nutritional needs, but for those who need help with absorption, it is better to take prenatal vitamins that come from a trusted source and a reputable supplement manufacturer.
There are many prenatal vitamins that you can choose from. There are some that are made for vegetarians and vegan diets. Some vitamins may also come in gluten free, organic and sugar free form. Most pregnant women find it hard to swallow pills and prefer those brands that are packaged in smaller sizes or chewables.
For a lot of women, chewables are more tolerable compared to having to swallow pills that are too big. In fact, chewables are easier to cope with especially with the nausea that is accompanied by pregnancy. A lot of prenatal vitamins contain specific ingredients for those women who are prone to morning sickness.
If you are having trouble looking for a prenatal vitamin that best suits you, its better to consult with your attending physician so that you are given the right vitamins for your baby and your own health needs during pregnancy.
For a lot of pregnant women, they claim to have no side effects whatsoever when taking these vitamins. The iron however that is present in many prenatal vitamins can cause nausea and constipation. You can also end up with diarrhea, low appetite, dark stools, and stomach cramps. It’s better to consult with your doctor about the side effects that are associated with the prenatal vitamins that you take, so that you can be given something with fewer side effects.
