1. To plan for early development
It’s possible to be pregnant and not know it. In fact, you’re likely to be pregnant for several weeks before you get the news. Taking a prenatal can help ensure that your system has all the essential nutrients available for a growing baby.
For instance, you’ve probably heard about the importance of folic acid for women trying to conceive. That’s because this nutrient has been linked to the early development of the fetal nervous system. Regularly taking a prenatal is a great way to start preparing for a baby.
2. To create healthy habits
Prenatals are packed with the vitamins and nutrients you need to stay strong and healthy while you’re trying to conceive. Chief among them are iron, folic acid, DHA, zinc, and vitamins D, B6, and C. These vitamins will eventually support your baby’s development, but right now they can help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for pregnancy.
