Prenatal Vitamins: What Matters Most

Confused about which prenatal vitamin to take? You're not alone. In this episode, Dr. Renda and Dr. Rachel cut through the marketing hype to answer the questions every pregnant person asks: What actually matters in a prenatal? Do I need a prescription or is over-the-counter fine? What do I do if I can't keep it down? They break down the "big three" nutrients every prenatal should have—folic acid, iron, and DHA—plus the supporting cast of vitamins and minerals that make a difference. You'll learn why starting a prenatal before you're pregnant matters, why "organic" and "whole-food based" don't necessarily mean better, and how to navigate the prenatal aisle without overthinking it. Plus: real talk about nausea, tips for vegans and vegetarians, what to do if supplements aren't working for you, and why one simple pill can have a massive impact on your baby's development. Your prenatal vitamin doesn't have to be complicated. Let's make it simple.
