To begin with, remember that pregnancy can be divided into three terms. In each of them, certain changes occur both in the bodies of the future mother and in the development of the baby.
In the first trimester, as in the planning of crumbs, one of the most important elements is folic acid, which is necessary for the development of the nervous and circulatory system. It is found in the liver, cereals, some citrus. But nevertheless doctors often prescribe to take it in tablets. In this case, it is important to follow the advice of your doctor, as they release it in several dosage options. But this is perhaps the only element of the importance of which, there is absolutely no doubt.
At small terms, especially if there is a risk of termination of pregnancy, you need to take magnesium and vitamin B6. Magnesium is involved in all vital processes of the body. Interacting with vitamin B6, which in turn promotes the rapid assimilation of proteins, fats, magnesium is also well absorbed. If you feel well and have no cause for concern, you can for some time (and better all pregnancy) eat strong foods that contain magnesium, namely dried apricots, buckwheat and nuts. Tasty, affordable and very useful. In general, all the vitamins of group B have a positive effect on the growth and development of your baby and help you during pregnancy.
The first trimester of pregnancy is often accompanied by toxicosis, during which the appetite may decrease. In such cases it will be reasonable, again having consulted with the doctor, to pick up a complex of vitamins, which will fill that lack of useful substances that is formed during this time. Do not forget only that any vitamins should not be taken to an empty stomach, otherwise attacks of nausea can only worsen, and vitamins simply do not digest.
Take vitamins during pregnancy, in the second trimester is only based on the results of tests and in strict dosage. There are several reasons for this. Firstly: during pregnancy, you are responsible for two lives and you must be doubly cautious with all sorts of experiments and self-medication, and secondly: you need to pay attention to your nutrition, perhaps you should not support the body with additional complexes. And thirdly, do not forget about "scho zadadto, it's not sensible."
There is a list of vitamins, the excess of which is as bad as the deficit. Particular attention should be paid to vitamin A. It used to be that it was necessary to lean on fish oil, take it in capsules, and drink it with milk. So be careful and know that the content of this vitamin above the norm may on the contrary lead to negative consequences in the development of your baby. If you follow the dosage, then thanks to vitamin A, the placenta will develop well, bone tissue will form. For a future mother, this vitamin is also very important, because it improves skin color and strengthens the immune system.
During this period, most women are already returning to their usual routine and can eat the products they are accustomed to. Take care that your diet is rich in fresh vegetables and fruits, cereals (but without fanaticism), dairy products, meat and fish. Help the body cope with the double load, give up fried, fatty and spicy food in favor of a healthy diet. Of course, it will be harder to cope with this task for those whose pregnancy will fall at the end of autumn and winter, and just then multivitamins can come to the rescue. A lot of complexes are represented on the market. Choose with the doctor the one that will best meet your requirements.
In the third trimester, you need to pay attention to calcium and vitamin D. These two elements are responsible for the growth of bones, the formation of the skeleton, the growth of hair, nails, and vitamin D is prescribed during pregnancy for the prevention of rickets. In large quantities, it is found in fish, as well as eggs and milk. Vitamin E prevents premature birth, takes part in the synthesis of pregnancy hormones.
Vitamin C, and if it's easier, then ascorbic acid will become your companions during all pregnancy, eat more citrus, just remember allergic reactions that you and the kid do not need.
Vitamins during pregnancy are certainly important, because they strengthen the cardiovascular system, improve immunity, improve the overall condition of the body. If there are such circumstances that it is not possible to eat nutritionally and variously, or if pregnancy has occurred after the illness, you simply have to get rich with useful substances, it's another matter that it's high time to give up self-treatment and go to a choice of a vitamin with the mind, having consulted a doctor.
Try to take vitamins at the same time . Some manufacturers even offer such a form of taking tablets, in which at certain times of the day you will receive those vitamins that are absorbed the fastest during this period. In the pharmacy, you may be surprised at the start of the price of vitamins for pregnant women. Here again you need to come to the aid of a doctor who will tell you whether there is a sense in an expensive complex or you will approach cheaper, but with fewer elements of the drug.
Whether it is worth taking vitamins during pregnancy or not, it's up to you and your doctor. The main thing is that your tests are normal, you feel well, and pregnancy brought only positive emotions and no feelings.
