Essential Vitamins and Minerals for Pregnant Women
Eating well is one of the best things you can do during pregnancy. As your pregnancy advances, good diet will help you cope with the increased demands on your body. The idea is to strike a balance between getting enough nutrition to assist your fetus’s growth while also maintaining a healthy weight.
All nutrients are important, but these seven play a key role in your baby’s growth and development during pregnancy:
Folic Acid
- Helps prevent birth defects of the brain and spine called neural tube defects
- Supports the general growth and development of the fetus and placenta
Iron
- Iron helps your body make more blood red cells. These blood cells carry oxygen to the baby that it needs to develop.
- Prevents anaemia in mothers
- Prevents low birth weight in the baby
Calcium
- Vital for making your baby’s bones and teeth
- Prevent mothers from losing their bone density as the baby uses calcium for its own bone growth
- Helps your circulatory, muscular and nervous systems run normally.
Vitamin D
- Helps your body absorb calcium
- Helps your body’s nerves, muscles and immune system work
- Builds your fetus’s bones and teeth
- Helps promote healthy eyesight and ski
Vitamin C
- Helps body absorb iron
- Builds a healthy immune system
- Protects cells and helps keep them healthy
- Promotes healthy gums, teeth, and bones
Iodine
- Essential for healthy brain development
- Help your baby’s nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves) develop
- Critical for a woman’s healthy thyroid function during pregnancy
DHA
- Help your baby’s brain and eyes develop
- Lower your risk of preterm birth and of having a baby with low birth weight
