During pregnancy, a woman\u2019s daily intake requirements for certain nutrients, such as folic acid (folate), calcium, and iron will increase. \u00a0<a title=\"Nutrients &amp; Vitamins For Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/nutrients-vitamins-pregnancy\/\">Vitamins and minerals<\/a> such as iron,\u00a0calcium, and folic acid are vital\u00a0for proper fetal growth, development, and healthy adult living.<\/p><p>To help increase your chances of creating a healthy and nutritious\u00a0environment in which your baby can develop, it is important that you\u00a0establish a <a title=\"Diet During Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/diet-during-pregnancy\/\">well-balanced diet<\/a> and <a title=\"Effects of Exercise on Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/effects-of-exercise-on-pregnancy\/\">exercise\u00a0routine<\/a> before you get pregnant. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you choose to supplement your diet with prenatal vitamins, be sure to <\/span><b>keep track of the daily amounts that you take<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and let your healthcare provider know.<\/span><\/p><h2>Choosing Your Prenatal Vitamins<\/h2><p>As a society we are led to believe that taking a prenatal vitamin during pregnancy will provide all the nutrients needed for a happy and healthy birth outcome. Although most prenatal vitamins do provide calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B7 (biotin), vitamin B9 (folic acid) or folate, vitamin B12 (cobalamin), vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin D, there are three critical nutrients that your prenatal may lack, or be missing entirely. In other words, there is no such thing as a \u201cperfect\u201d prenatal vitamin that can meet all of your prenatal needs.<\/p><h3>Vitamin D Supports a Healthy Pregnancy<\/h3><p>It&#8217;s common knowledge that<a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/vitamin-d-and-pregnancy\/\"> vi<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/vitamin-d-and-pregnancy\/\">tamin D<\/a> benefits our bone, brain, cardiovascular, immune, metabolic, and respiratory health, but did you know that vitamin D is also critical for maintaining a healthy pregnancy? Emerging research strongly links vitamin D to a reduced risk of pregnancy complications including <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/pregnancy-complications\/preeclampsia\/\">preeclampsia,<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/pregnancy-complications\/gestational-diabetes\/\">gestational diabetes,<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/labor-and-birth\/premature-birth-complications\/\">preterm birth<\/a>, and<a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/labor-and-birth\/how-to-avoid-a-cesarean-birth\/\"> C-section delivery<\/a>. \u00a0Unfortunately, research also indicates that an estimated 33% of pregnant women in the U.S. do not get enough vitamin D.<\/p><p><b>The majority of prenatal vitamins contain vitamin D within the range of 400 IU (10 mcg) to 1,000 IU (25 mcg).<\/b> These values may not be enough. In a study examining the vitamin D levels of women consuming a prenatal supplement with 600 IU\/day and two glasses of vitamin D fortified milk, researchers found that 76% of moms and 81% of newborn babies were deficient in vitamin D (levels &lt;\u00a0\u00a020 ng\/mL). This raises the question &#8211; how much vitamin D do you need to increase your levels? <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a study comparing doses of 400, 2000 and 4000 IU\/ day in pregnant women from early pregnancy (12 \u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/week-by-week\/16-weeks-pregnant\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16 weeks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) to delivery, researchers found that 4000 IU was the most effective at safely increasing vitamin D blood levels.<\/span> Does this mean that every pregnant woman needs 4000 IU of vitamin D? Not exactly. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best thing to do is to <\/span><b>get your vitamin D levels tested<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and talk to your doctor about what dose is right for you.<\/span><\/p><h3>Choline Benefits Pregnancy and Beyond<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choline doesn\u2019t get a lot of attention, but it is a nutrient with a number of impressive, long lasting benefits, making it an <\/span><b>indispensable component of prenatal vitamins<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For example, <\/span><b>higher maternal choline intakes have been shown to reduce the risk of neural tube defects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (independent of folate intake) while also improving cognition and lowering levels of circulating cortisol.<\/span> This is significant because lowering a baby\u2019s production of cortisol could, over their lifetime, reduce their risk of certain stress-related disorders. In terms of improving cognition, research finds that children who received additional choline in utero showed increased attention span, memory, and problem solving at age seven.<\/p><p>For mom, the benefits of increased choline intake are linked to a reduced risk of certain <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/complications-concerns\/\">complications during pregnancy<\/a> and an increase in\u00a0placenta and liver function during pregnancy. The benefits of choline during pregnancy make it one nutrient you\u2019re going to want to make sure is on your prenatal vitamin\u2019s supplement facts panel.<\/p><p>Although the recommended Adequate Intake (AI) of choline for pregnant women is 450 mg\/d, studies show only 10% of pregnant women in the U.S are actually meeting the AI.\u00a0 Partly to blame for this is many prenatal vitamins lack sufficient choline support. A recent study evaluating the top 25 prenatal vitamins found that none contained the daily-recommended choline intake for a pregnant woman, and over half contained none at all. To help remedy this, make sure you are consuming enough choline through your diet, and supplement as needed.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re aiming to get your choline from food first, <\/span><b>one of the highest sources of choline is eggs<\/b>. The egg yolk is where the choline lives (about 147 mg per egg yolk), so you won\u2019t get your choline from an egg white omelet.<\/p><p>See the chart below for more choline sources and their amounts. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will notice that <\/span><b>animal sources contain the greatest amounts of choline<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so vegans and vegetarians run an even greater risk of choline deficiency<\/span>. Therefore, it\u2019s critical that vegans and some vegetarians supplement with choline during pregnancy.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><table class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Food Source<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Choline (mg)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Beef liver, 3 oz pan fried<\/td><td>356<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Egg yolk, large<\/td><td>147<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Beef, 3 oz. lean top round braised<\/td><td>117<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ground beef, 3 oz. cooked<\/td><td>85<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pork tenderloin, 3 oz. cooked<\/td><td>83<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Salmon, 3oz.<\/td><td>77<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cod, 3oz baked<\/td><td>71<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Chicken breast, 3oz.<\/td><td>65<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Shiitake mushrooms, 1\/2 cup cooked<\/td><td>58<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Soybeans, 1\/4 cup cooked<\/td><td>53<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Broccoli, 1 cup cooked<\/td><td>51<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kidney beans, 1\/2 cup canned<\/td><td>45<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quinoa, 1 cup cooked<\/td><td>43<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Garbanzo beans, 1\/2 cup cooked<\/td><td>35<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div><h3>DHA and Healthy Development of the Fetus<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/products\/prenatal-dha\/\">DHA<\/a>, an omega-3 fatty acid, is one of the key building blocks for fetal development. During pregnancy the fetus obtains DHA through the mother, and it is imperative the mother has adequate DHA stores to support both her and her developing baby\u2019s needs. If mom already has a low DHA status, the fetus\u2019s reliance on her for DHA can put her at a heightened risk for DHA deficiency, and importantly,\u00a0\u00a0place her baby at risk of missing out on some of the nutrient\u2019s key benefits. To learn more about the multitude of DHA benefits during pregnancy see <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nordic.com\/healthy-science\/dha-and-pregnancy\/\">\u201cWhy Do I Need DHA During Pregnancy?\u201d<\/a>.<\/p><p><b>Pregnant women need a minimum of 300 mg of DHA a day<\/b>. Because many prenatal vitamins do not contain DHA, this means pregnant women need to obtain their daily minimum through fatty fish or fish oil. Given that pregnant women are advised to limit consumption of low-mercury fish to 2-3 times per week, incorporating a <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/pregnancy-health-wellness\/omega-3-fish-oil-and-pregnancy\/\">fish oil supplement<\/a> containing at least 300 mg\/d can help support your DHA needs if your prenatal is lacking. However, your individual needs may not be met by 300 mg\/d, making it important to talk to your doctor and get tested. You can determine your needs through a simple blood test to find out what dose is best for you.<\/p><p><strong>The American Pregnancy Association recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/is-it-safe\/mercury-levels-in-fish\/\">Safe Catch<\/a> because they test every fish for mercury.
