A member asked:

Are there extra minerals i should take while pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Taking a good prenatal vitamin along with a good balanced diet should give you all of the nutrients you need for a healthy pregnancy. It is unusual to need additional mineral supplementation unless a pre-existing deficiency existed or you have some type of metabolic disorder.
