Until I found out that I was pregnant, I had never really thought about prenatal vitamins very much. I have been pretty healthy my entire life, eating healthy and exercising, so I didn't ever think that I really needed additional vitamins. I was wrong, though because when I got pregnant, I almost immediately started feeling tired and worn down. At first I had thought that I had gotten a bug or something, but a pregnancy test told me that that was not the problem.

My husband really wanted to do his part to help and ensure that I was comfortable and had everything the baby and I would need. He immediately started researching about prenatal vitamins and the benefits of them. His sister, who had had several children by that point advised him that he should get me some vitamins that had folic acid.

I had seen folic acid as an ingredient listed on my cereal boxes, but I had never paid any attention to it and I did not know how important it is for your body. I found out though, that folic acid plays a huge part in preventing birth defects, and that I ought to be taking folic acid not just while I am pregnant ...
... but all of the time.

The supplements actually have many more benefits than simply folic acid, and we discovered that prenatal vitamins prevent autism which was something very important to me. The supplements can actually help to prevent cancer in the baby, and this information is what completely sealed the deal for me. My husband went and looked for some good vitamins, and for a time we considered buying some generic ones to save money, but we saw that they did not have everything we needed, so he looked online and found some great supplements for a good price that had what we needed.

My neighbor also told me that I ought to be taking some iron supplements which really helps to boost energy during pregnancy. Right away I noticed a huge difference with the iron, because when I forgot to take them I felt so exhausted. After forgetting to take it only twice, I always made it a priority to take my pills, and even after the baby was born I kept taking them because they really kept me feeling healthy.
