prenatal vitamins

Expecting mother's pills

Prenatal vitamins are dietary supplements formulated for women who are pregnant or trying to conceive.

They typically contain higher amounts of folic acid, iron, and calcium than standard multivitamins—nutrients critical for fetal development and maternal health.

Doctors usually recommend starting them before conception: She began taking prenatal vitamins three months before they started trying.
