Nourish baby from the beginning by taking care of your own nutrition each step of the way.

Healthy eating is the best gift you can give your growing baby. While you always need a variety of nutrients, some are especially important when you’re pregnant. Calcium It’s okay if you don’t get extra calcium during pregnancy. Your body has enough for both you and your baby. Iron Iron needs are high in pregnancy because of an increase in your body’s blood volume. Vitamin B12 You only need to worry about B12 if you’re a vegetarian. Folate / Folic Acid Getting enough Folate / Folic Acid is only important before you get pregnant. Vitamin B6 You’ll need this vitamin for your baby’s growth and development. Vitamin D Going outside for a few minutes every day is enough to cover your vitamin D requirement. Vitamin C When you’re expecting, extra vitamin C can help your body absorb more iron. Zinc Zinc is more important for your husband than for you.
