Or what to do if they make you constipated? Get answers to these questions and more.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/about-this-site\/meet-our-medical-editors\">By Mayo Clinic Staff<\/a><\/div>\n<p>A healthy diet is the best way to get the vitamins and minerals you need. But during pregnancy you might fall short on key nutrients. If you&#8217;re pregnant or hoping to conceive, prenatal vitamins can help fill any gaps.<\/p>\n<h3>Why are prenatal vitamins important?<\/h3>\n<p>During pregnancy, you need more folic acid and iron than usual. Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects.<\/strong> These defects are serious abnormalities of the fetal brain and spinal cord. Ideally, you&#8217;ll begin taking extra folic acid at least 3 months before you become pregnant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Iron supports the development of the placenta and fetus.<\/strong> Iron helps your body make blood to supply oxygen to the fetus. Iron also helps prevent anemia, a condition in which blood has a low number of healthy red blood cells.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Which prenatal vitamin is best?<\/h3>\n<p>Prenatal vitamins are available over-the-counter in nearly any pharmacy. Your health care provider might recommend a specific brand or leave the choice up to you.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond checking for folic acid and iron, look for a prenatal vitamin that contains calcium and vitamin D. They help promote the development of the baby&#8217;s teeth and bones. It also might be beneficial to look for a prenatal vitamin that contains vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, B vitamins, zinc and iodine.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, your health care provider might suggest higher doses of certain nutrients depending on the circumstances. For example, if you&#8217;ve given birth to a baby who has a neural tube defect, your health care provider might recommend a separate supplement containing a higher dose of folic acid \u2014 such as 4 milligrams (4,000 micrograms) \u2014 before and during any subsequent pregnancies.<\/p>\n<p>But in general, avoid taking extra prenatal vitamins or multivitamins with dosing in excess of what you need on a daily basis. High doses of some vitamins may be harmful to your baby. For example, extra vitamin A during pregnancy can potentially cause harm to your baby.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to be concerned about other nutrients?<\/h3>\n<p>Omega-3 fatty acids, a type of fat found naturally in many kinds of fish, help promote a baby&#8217;s brain development. If you don&#8217;t eat fish or other foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, your health care provider might recommend omega-3 fatty acid supplements in addition to prenatal vitamins.<\/p>\n<h3>When should I start taking prenatal vitamins?<\/h3>\n<p>Ideally, you&#8217;ll start taking prenatal vitamins before conception. In fact, it&#8217;s generally a good idea for women of reproductive age to regularly take a prenatal vitamin. The baby&#8217;s neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops during the first month of pregnancy<br \/>\n\u2014 perhaps before you even know that you&#8217;re pregnant.<\/p>\n<h3>Do prenatal vitamins have any side effects?<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes the iron in prenatal vitamins contributes to constipation. To prevent constipation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Drink plenty of fluids<\/li>\n<li>Include more fiber in your diet<\/li>\n<li>Include physical activity in your daily routine, as long as you have your health care provider&#8217;s OK<\/li>\n<li>Ask your health care provider about using a stool softener<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If these tips don&#8217;t seem to help, ask your health care provider about other options.<\/p>\n<p><!--googleoff: all--><\/p>\n<div class=\"contentbox no-border\">\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/~\/media\/kcms\/ux\/css\/newslettereh.css\"\/>\n<article>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<p>\n                \u00a0\n            <\/p>\n<div class=\"myc-subscription-form\" data-sending-url=\"https:\/\/s74881809.t.eloqua.com\/e\/f2\" data-name-form=\"MKT.PES.HC.EmailSignup2\" data-last-step=\"true\">\n<div class=\"myc-step-container\">\n<div class=\"myc-subscription-step-wrapper\" id=\"first-step\" aria-describedby=\"formTitle\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<h2 class=\"eh-title-main\" id=\"formTitle\">From Mayo Clinic to your inbox<br \/>\n                        <\/h2>\n<p class=\"myc-subscription-intro\">Sign up for free and stay up to date on research advancements, health tips, current health topics, and expertise on managing health. <a href=\"https:\/\/links.e.response.mayoclinic.org\/EmailPreview-GeneralHealth\">Click here for an email preview.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                        <button type=\"button\" class=\"acces-show-hide\" data-show=\"\" data-hide=\"\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"myc-info\">Learn more about Mayo Clinic\u2019s use of data.<\/button><\/p>\n<div id=\"myc-info\">\n<p>We use the data you provide to deliver you the content you requested.
