Some medicines can harm your baby!


Not all medicines are safe to take when you are pregnant. That includes over-the-counter or prescription drugs, herbs, and supplements.
Not using medicine that you need may be more harmful to you and your baby than using the medicine. For example, many pregnant women take prescription medicines for health problems like diabetes, asthma, seizures, and heartburn.
There are special vitamins for pregnant women. It is important to take 0.4 mg of folic acid every day before you become pregnant through the first part of your pregnancy. Folic acid helps to prevent birth defects of the baby’s brain or spine.

When Should Start Taking a Prenatal Vitamin


Taking a prenatal vitamin daily during pregnancy is essential. It is one of the easiest ways to do something positive for your growing baby. Even if you are eating a healthy diet, you may be losing important nutrients. A prenatal vitamin will fill those gaps. The best time to start taking prenatal vitamins is before you conceive. A baby’s neural tube, which will develop in the brain and spinal cord, develops during the first month of pregnancy. If you are not taking that pill every day, start taking a prenatal vitamin every day during your pregnancy.
