March 6, 2009, Newsletter Issue #157: Using Vitamins During Pregnancy

Tip of the Week

Using the right vitamins during pregnancy is vital to both your and your baby's health. Most people don't get all the vitamins and minerals they need from the foods they eat, and this is even more important during pregnancy. In fact, using vitamins during pregnancy can help prevent diabetes, which is quite common among pregnant women.

Taking the right vitamins during pregnancy also affects your baby's health. One vitamin you should not take is vitamin A, which can increase birth defects and other health problems in your baby. Natural sources of vitamin A in foods will not affect your baby's health, but additional supplements can, so you should avoid these vitamins during pregnancy, especially the first trimester.
