Omega 3 Omega 3 essential fatty acids are an important part of a healthy diet for a pregnant & breastfeeding mother. Maximising good fats such as polyunsaturated fats & decreasing bad fats such saturated fats is a goal worth reaching, particularly during pregnancy. Omega 3 fats are particularly important during Pre & Post Natal pregnancy. Omega 3 DHA can help support your babys development of the brain, cognitive system & immune system.

Magnesium deficiencies may lead to poor fetal growth & even infant mortality. Research has shown that optimum levels of magnesium can help keep the uterus from contracting prematurely. Moreover, magnesium may help build strong bones & teeth, whilst also regulating insulin & blood sugar levels & helping certain enzymes function. Iron When pregnant, iron is vital for a number of reasons including: -     When pregnant, the amount of blood within the blood can increase by as much as 50%, putting pressure on iron levels to make more hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen to all cells. -     During the second & third trimester extra iron is needed to support your growing baby & placenta. -     Iron deficiencies have been linked with preterm delivery, low birth weight & infant mortality. Zinc When pregnant, zinc is recommended as it is essential for the production, repair & proper function of DNA, the basic building block of cells. During pregnancy, a process of rapid cell growth occurs, making zinc supplementation particularly important. Zinc can also help support your immune system, maintain your senses & help heal wounds. Folic Acid Women who might become pregnant, or are pregnant need a folic acid supplement. Folic acid can assist in preventing neural tube deficit or defects of the spinal cord and/or brain. Folic acid has been the centre of much compelling research suggesting it can also help lower the risk other defects, including heart defects. Folic acid or folate is required to maintain DNA, in similar ways to zinc, furthering supporting cell growth & a developing baby. Folic acid is recommended for all mothers to increase good health & development for your baby. Iodine Iodine plays a vital role in regulating your thyroid gland & helps support your metabolism, the rate at which your body uses energy. During pregnancy, iodine can help the development of a babys brain & nervous system. Iodine deficiencies have been linked with an increased risk of miscarriages, still births & preterm delivery. Vitamin B12 Pregnant woman, compared to others have a slightly increased need for Vitamin B12. Severe deficiencies of Vitamin B12 can lead to serious consequences for mother & baby, although this is highly unlikely. Vitamin B12 is stored within the body, an amount which is quickly depleted during pregnancy as the developing baby requires Vitamin B12 for development & to store.
