Prenatal supplements. So many options. So much confusing information! Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could just go to Walgreens or the drugstore and snag a prenatal vitamin off the shelf and know it has all the nutrients you need? 

Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. Not all prenatal supplements are created equal and many don’t have all the nutrients you need to support your growing body and create a tiny human!

Prenatal supplements are like an insurance policy. They are not a replacement for eating real, whole nutrient dense food, but it is an opportunity to increase your chance of getting all the nutrients you need throughout pregnancy and postpartum, especially as pregnancy aversions, cravings, or lack of resources may keep you from eating a varied diet.
