Why is nutrition so important during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, nutrition is more important than ever. Maternal and paternal dietary behaviors throughout life and during fertility impact birth outcomes. While these all contribute to offspring health, maternal diet during pregnancy plays one of the most vital roles in your baby’s short and long-term health. Different dietary nutrient levels can impact various stages of fetal development, from neurodevelopment and skeletal health to immune development. Furthermore, personalizing nutrition and lifestyle support will meet your unique biological and behavioral needs, maximizing the health outcomes of you and your baby.

Why should I take a prenatal vitamin?

Taking a daily prenatal vitamin is strongly encouraged. While a prenatal vitamin does not substitute for a healthy and nutritious diet, it contains essential vitamins and nutrients that support your and your baby’s health throughout pregnancy. Your needs change drastically during pregnancy, and many vitamins and minerals play a critical role in the proper development of your baby. Taking a prenatal vitamin while attempting to become pregnant, or as soon as you find out you’re pregnant, can help reduce the risk of

• Congenital heart defects
• Neural tube defects
• Gestational diabetes
• Gestational Hypertension
• Preterm labor
• Miscarriage
• Depression in adulthood

What are the best prenatal vitamins?

The best prenatal vitamins are third-party tested and pharmaceutical-grade to reduce the risk of contamination from heavy metals and ensure the quality and efficacy of the vitamins listed. A USP-verified or Consumerlab label is recommended to ensure the product contains the listed ingredients. Research finds some of the most important nutrients recommended to supplement during pregnancy include folate, omega-3, iron, and calcium. It is important to read the labels as not all prenatal supplements contain all the essential nutrients within one pill. Quality prenatals reviewed by nine.moons include:

• Parsley Health Prenatal
• Nature Made Prenatal with Folic Acid + DHA, Dietary Supplement for Daily Nutritional Support
