Prenatal vitamins help support the nutrition needs of a pregnant woman and her growing baby. During pregnancy a woman's body demands many more nutrients than when she is not pregnant, in order to support two lives. Folic acid is important in the beginning of pregnancy to help avoid conditions like spina bifida. Calcium is also important to keep a woman's bones strong, as her growing infant takes from her calcium resources. Iron plays an important part in allowing a woman's body to continue producing enough healthy red blood cells, as her infant requires more of this mineral. Many prenatal vitamins are advertised as having extra folic acid, calcium or iron, since these are such important vitamins and minerals during pregnancy.
