Taking folic acid on a daily basis before pregnancy and during pregnancy can help prevent serious birth defects in your unborn baby. The best way to get folic acid is through prenatal vitamins. Regular vitamins don't have folic acid.

I took new child's multivitamins for the time of my very last being pregnant because the regularly occurring ones made me extra nauseous. My OB/GYN informed me to take 2 daily, because the dosage is way less because they're for little ones. the distinction between an time-honored multivitamin and prenatal supplementations is that the prenatal ones have extra folic acid. verify the Flinstones bottle, and parent out if 2 an afternoon might want to offer you adequate folic acid. i don't believe of there is any reason you want to supplement extra calcium at the same time as pregnant, if you're eating a healthful weight-help plan. Ask your regular practitioner, yet I under no circumstances did. With my very last being pregnant, I took 2 new child's multi-supplementations, and then I also further in additional desirable B-supplementations (which incorporates folic acid) because I felt like the new child's multi change into inadequate in that section.

Prenatal vitamins are used for the woman and the developing fetus, so there are more nutrients included to support two lives instead of one. Regular vitamins are used as supplements for one life, in case your diet is not meeting your nutritional needs.

prenatals have all of it put into a dosing acceptable for pregnancy and what vitamins you will be needing during pregnancy.

It's just a different titer of vits. ie. you get more folic acid, calcium in the prenatal vit.

Please don't consider taking regular vitamins when you are pregnant...they just aren't sufficient for what your body (and the developing body inside of you) are going through.
