Would you take a multivitamin in pregnancy?

You do need to take a prenatal vitamin because your nutritional needs are different during pregnancy. You need to make sure you get enough of every vitamin and the best way is to take something specifically made for pregnancy especially folic acid. There is evidence proving that if you do not take enough folic acid that your baby could end up with birth defects such as spinal Bifida. There is no evidence that taking prenatal vitamins will harm you or your baby, but there is proof proving it will greatly benefit you and your baby. You should talk to your doctor about what is best for you and your diet and make sure you only eat approved foods during pregnancy. Make sure you DO NOT eat fish that contains mercury!! Good luck and congratulations!!
