Prenatal vitamins are an important part of a healthy pregnancy, particularly if you are vegetarian or vegan and might be missing some nutrients in your diet. Expectant mothers need higher amounts of certain substances including iron and folic acid in addition to a wide variety of other vitamins and minerals, and a prenatal vitamin can help bridge the gap between a normal healthy diet and the requirements of a growing baby. A recent study even linked taking prenatal vitamins immediately before and during pregnancy to a lower autism risk. But what's a whole-food-loving or vegetarian mama to do? Not to worry. We have put together a list of our favorite prenatal vitamins that will work for you, whether you are looking for a whole-food-based supplement, a vegetarian or vegan option, or simply one that won't make you feel even queasier in the first trimester. Plus, we found a few additional natural supplements such as folic acid, iron, and DHA that doctors recommend for complete prenatal nutrition. Before you make start taking a prenatal vitamin, or any supplement, consult your doctor.
