    Submitted by Rachel in Monroe, CT

     

    About the pre-natal vitamins - try to find one that has the following:
    4,000 and 5,000 IU (international units) of vitamin A
    800 and 1,000 mcg (1 mg) of folic acid
    400 IU of vitamin D
    200 to 300 mg of calcium
    70 mg of vitamin C
    1.5 mg of thiamine
    1.6 mg of riboflavin
    2.6 mg of pyridoxine
    17 mg of niacinamide
    2.2 mcg of vitamin B-12
    10 mg of vitamin E
    15 mg of zinc
    30 mg of iron

    Theres lots of brands out there. I suggest printing the list, running into CVS or some other pharmacy, and standing in the aisle debating
