Vitamins During Pregnancy

Prenatal vitamins are the best. Ask your doctor. Don't take vitamins which are not specifically for pregnant women as some (like vitamin A) can cause problems. With vitamins more is not better.

Folic acid is very important during pregnancy...possibly the most important nutrient you will need during pregnancy. According to womenshealthcaretopics.com, Folic acid is a form of the B vitamin that aids in the regular cellular development and regeneration, and is especially crucial within the first weeks of your unborn baby's development. It helps to insure proper formation of the brain and spinal cord, without which there is a higher chance of miscarriage, and a 1 in 1000 chance that the child will end up with a Neural Tube Disorder (NTD). You should try to begin a regular folic acid regimen before becoming pregnant if possible. You can purchase folic acid supplements at your local drugstore or pharmacy. Your doctor can also provide you with a prenatal vitamin which is a multivitamin + folic acid. Folate can also be found in liver (chicken, turkey, lamb, etc), peas, beans, lentils, vegetables including spinach, broccoli, greens, avocado, orange, orange juice, asparagus and papaya, some breakfast cereals, wheat germ, some pastas, bread, rice egg, and corn.

The Department of Health recommends that women should take a daily supplement of 0.4mg of folic acid while they are trying to conceive, and should continue taking this dose for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, when the baby's spine is developing. Therefore, it doesn't help a woman to get pregnant, it assists with the spinal development of the fetus.

I assume you heard the rumor that papaya can make you abort. That apparently is in very large amounts and ripe or unripe. I've read different things online and so far found nothing to back it up.

There are 280 IU (or approximately 140μg in real weight) of vitamin A in one chicken's egg.

Folic acid should be taken by a woman who hopes to become pregnant and during the early months of pregnancy. It is one of the B vitamins and it helps to prevent defects such as spina bifida. This is an abnormality caused by the brain and spinal cord failing to develop properly.

Pre-natal vitamins are available in most pharmacies. In some cases, doctors will write a prescription for a woman to take pre natal vitamins. Vitamins that are important right before and during pregnancy are: folate or folic acid (for babies brain and spinal development) and calcium/vitamin D to keep mom's bones strong. Vitamin C is also a good one because it will help mom stay healthy during the pregnancy.

You should be taking 0.5mg of folate per day for three months before you fall pregnancy and for your entire pregnancy. Studies have shown that to be most effective you need to take this EVERY day, not just 6 days a week and hope for the best on the other day.
