Supplements Before &
During Pregnancy
Besides food, your body will also require supplements. It is
extremely difficult to get all the necessary nutrients, vitamins and
minerals that your body needs from food alone.
Your diet will have to be varied and your knowledge of nutrition
will have to be good to get a completely balanced diet with no
deficiencies.
Most women just do not have the time to watch their diet like a
hawk and note the different vitamins they’re getting. By
consuming supplements, you’ll be able to pick up the slack from a
diet that is deficient in a few vitamins and minerals.
Some basic knowledge would be very helpful though. When you
understand what you’re eating, how much you should eat, why
you’re eating it… pregnancy nutrition will be much easier to get
right.
There is a list further down with 14 important supplements you
should consume. Do note that the Recommended Daily
Allowances are just a rough estimate. Speak to your doctor and
tailor your supplement intake to best suit your needs.
Another point you should be aware of is that there are negative
consequences of overdosing on specific vitamins. This usually
occurs from eating foods that contain a certain vitamin and
consuming supplements which contain that vitamin too. Now
there is a surplus in your body.
This is why it’s important to tell your doctor during your prenatal
appointments what you’re eating and what vitamins, medications
and supplements (including herbal) you’re taking too.
This will help them to assess your diet. Do not leave any details
out regardless of how insignificant you may believe them to be.
