Consuming a nutritious diet is especially important for expecting women. During pregnancy, women need more nutrients than the average person to support a healthy pregnancy. Examples of key nutrients are iodine, iron and omega-3 DHA.
Folic acid
Folic acid is critical for the healthy development of a baby’s spinal cord. 400mg daily of the supplement is recommended to be taken a month or more before conception and for at least the first trimester of pregnancy to reduce the risk of a baby developing neural tube defect.
Iron
Iron intake should increase during pregnancy. Iron functions to support the health of the mother and the healthy growth of her developing baby. This is because iron is used for increased red blood cell production.
Iodine
Iodine helps to maintain the good health of the mother and the baby.
Omega-3 DHA
Omega-3 DHA is required during and after pregnancy to help maintain good health.
