5 Prenatal Supplements for Mums-to-Be

Pregnancy can be exciting and anxiety-inducing in equal measure; from the conception stage through to breastfeeding and beyond, you’ll want to make sure you’re doing the best for yours and your baby’s health.

It’s important to ensure you’re eating a healthy, balanced diet throughout your pregnancy, and to check in with your doctor or midwife regularly to see if there’s anything you should be avoiding or adding into your routine to support your individual health needs.

Prenatal supplements can also help you to make sure you’re getting essential vitamins and minerals for you and your baby, including:

Folic acid – a B vitamin that can provide vital support for foetal brain and spine development.
Vitamin D – provides essential support to bone health during pregnancy and beyond.
