Prenatal Nutrition
Healthy eating is the best gift you can give your growing baby. While you always need a variety of nutrients, some are especially important when you're pregnant. Why are these nutrients so important for you and your baby? Take this quick quiz to find out.
It's okay if you don't get extra calcium during pregnancy. Your body has enough for both you and your baby.
Iron needs are high during pregnancy because of an increase in your body's blood volume.
You only need to worry about B12 if you're a vegetarian.
Getting enough folate is only important before you get pregnant.
You'll need Vitamin B6 for your baby's growth and development.
When you're expecting, extra vitamin C can help your body absorb more iron.
Zinc is more important for men than for you.
