Any one is good: Pregnancy puts unique strain on your body requiring a higher level of nutrition. Pregnancy vitamins can help supplement a normal nutritious diet, but it is still important to eat healthfully. The most important part of pregnancy vitamins is the folate and iron. DHA and Omega 3 can be easily found in fish and seafood. Remember that it will take up to 3 months for your cycles to normalize after BC
