What is the role of prenatal vitamins in pregnancy?

Nutritional aid: Prenatal vitamins contain the recommended daily vitamins and minerals that you will need during the pregnancy. These vitamins and minerals could also be obtained by eating a well-balanced diet every day. Unfortunately most of us are not that good at always eating a well-balanced diet. Supplements can help.

Helping you both: The fetus has a well designed system that will pull needed nutrients out of your body to build that of the baby.If you have a marginal diet, baby can suffer but you will too. Nature tends to strip some of what you have for babies needs, so you need the pnvits to maintain your own health while baby draws its needs from you.
