During pregnancy, it is necessary to eat right, but the doctor should prescribe an additional intake of vitamins, and completely different vitamin complexes and their dosages can be recommended for different women.

vitamins, certain foods
Instructions
Step 1
Expectant mothers need proper nutrition with a sufficient content of vitamins and microelements in foods. When you become pregnant, reconsider your diet. It must be complete and fully balanced. Modern doctors believe that a well-designed menu contributes to the provision of a woman and her baby with all the necessary substances. If the expectant mother receives a sufficient amount of vitamins with food, their additional intake is not required.
Step 2
Do not start taking vitamin and mineral supplements immediately after the news of your pregnancy. Contrary to popular belief, this will not benefit, but may harm your body. An excess of vitamins is just as detrimental to human health as a lack of them.
Step 3
During your next antenatal visit, discuss vitamin intake with your gynecologist. He may prescribe certain medications for you himself. In the first trimester of pregnancy, women need additional intake of folic acid. Check with a specialist for the schedule of her intake and the recommended dosage.
Step 4
If your diet is not balanced, take extra vitamins A and E. Vitamin A is known to be especially important in early and late pregnancy. In the middle of the term, it makes little sense to accept it. Vitamin E is necessary for expectant mothers in the first 2 months of pregnancy.
Step 5
In the second trimester, do not drink synthetic vitamins unless your doctor has advised you accordingly. Additional medication may be prescribed only if there are any abnormalities, if you have suffered from a cold, or if your body is weakened.
Step 6
Take vitamin C and vitamin D in late pregnancy. This is very important if the last trimester is during the winter season. It is especially recommended to take vitamin C for those women who are often forced to visit crowded places and are at risk of catching colds.
