From the moment you start trying to conceive, your body needs extra nutrients to support healthy fetal development and your own health. This is where prenatal vitamins come in.
A high-quality prenatal supplement, like PREGGO Prenatal + Probiotic, can help fill nutritional gaps, support your digestive health, and ensure your baby gets the essential building blocks for early development.1*
Here are ten reasons why taking a prenatal vitamin is an essential step for anyone planning to conceive, currently pregnant, or nursing.
1. Support Healthy Neural Tube Development
The neural tube, which develops into your baby’s brain and spinal cord, forms within the first four weeks of pregnancy, often before many know they’re pregnant.2 Nutrients like folate and choline are critical for this process.2, 3, 4 Taking a prenatal with folate 1–3 months before trying to conceive can reduce the risk of neural tube defects and support healthy brain development.5* PREGGO Prenatal and Probiotic includes methylfolate, a highly bioavailable form of folate, along with choline to support this crucial stage.6*
2. Promote Baby’s Brain & Eye Health
Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, are essential for fetal brain and eye development. Including these in your prenatal care ensures your baby receives nutrients essential for cognitive function and vision development.7* PREGGO Prenatal and Probiotic combines omega-3s with other key nutrients to optimize early brain and spinal cord formation.*
3. Reduce Nutrient Deficiencies
Even with a balanced diet, many pregnant people experience nutrient deficiencies. Pregnancy increases your body’s demand for iron, vitamin D, calcium, and other vitamins and minerals. Prenatal vitamins help fill these gaps, supporting maternal health and fetal growth.8*
4. Boost Energy & Fight Fatigue
Pregnancy can leave you feeling drained, especially as your body works overtime to nourish a new life. Nutrients like iron and B vitamins in prenatal vitamins help support healthy red blood cell production and energy metabolism, helping you stay strong and less fatigued throughout pregnancy.9*
5. Relieve Morning Sickness
Many prenatals, including PREGGO Prenatal, contain ginger and vitamin B6, which are clinically shown to ease occasional nausea and morning sickness.10, 11* Reducing nausea symptoms can help you stay nourished even when early pregnancy symptoms make eating difficult.
6. Support Maternal Gut & Vaginal Health
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can disrupt the gut and vaginal microbiome, leading to constipation, bloating, or imbalance. Prenatals with probiotics, like PREGGO Prenatal, support digestion, regular bowel movements, and vaginal microbiome balance, helping you feel more comfortable throughout pregnancy.12, 13, 14*
7. Support Maternal Nutrition During Breastfeeding
Prenatal vitamins aren’t just for pregnancy. Continuing supplementation during breastfeeding may be beneficial to ensure that you and your baby receive key nutrients, supporting milk quality, maternal energy, and ongoing fetal development.15*
8. Feel Confident About Your Pregnancy Nutrition
PREGGO Prenatal + Probiotic is OBGYN-formulated to include ingredients backed by research for pregnancy support, including choline for brain development, methylfolate for neural tube health, iron for oxygen transport, and omega-3s for cognitive growth.4, 6, 7, 8*
9. Convenient & Gentle on the Stomach
Certain forms of nutrients, like ferrous bisglycinate iron, are included in PREGGO Prenatal for easier digestion. This ensures you get essential nutrients without common gastrointestinal side effects like constipation or nausea.16, 17*
10. Protect Your Long-Term Health
Taking a prenatal vitamin supports your overall health during and after pregnancy. Key nutrients like iron, vitamin D, and choline help maintain energy, bone strength, and cognitive function, setting you up for optimal health beyond childbirth.4, 8, 9*
