Vitamin D is also important for healthy teeth and bones of pregnant women. A good dose of vitamin D for pregnant women is 200-400IU. Other vitamins that good for pregnant women is Vitamin K. Vitamin K can be obtained from milk. But remember not to consume these vitamins in excessive amount because it is very dangerous to health.

In addition to vitamins, pregnant women also need supplements as nutrition for pregnant women. One supplement is folic acid. Folic acid is needed to avoid fetal defects. Take more folic acid three months prior to pregnancy. Folic acid is widely available in green vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Iron nutrition is also important. Such substances exist in the potato, beans, wheat bread, and spinach serve to provide oxygen to the fetus.

Iodine and calcium are also important for the nutrition of pregnant women. Lack of iodine can cause hypothyroidism or thyroid hormone deficiency. Therefore, it is important to add iodine salt to mommy’s food. And calcium is important for bone formation. Hopefully by knowing the vitamin and supplement need to be consumed by pregnant women, mommy’s health during pregnancy can always be maintained.
