prenatals
Expecting mother's pills
Prenatals are vitamins and supplements taken during pregnancy to support fetal development and maternal health.
The term is informal shorthand for prenatal vitamins: My doctor told me to start taking prenatals before we even started trying.
They typically contain folic acid, iron, calcium, and other nutrients in higher amounts than standard multivitamins.
