***This video states that choline should be taken in 400 - 450 mcg dose. This is an error. The correct daily dose of choline is 400 - 450 mg (not mcg).

The Best Dr. Recommended Prenatal Vitamins video that many of you have asked for…

I am a board-certified OB/GYN, and I have been in practice for over 25 years. Now I am doubling down to help women become empowered in their pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

“What prenatal vitamins should I take?” This is a question I have received many times over the past 25 years and I am excited to cover this topic because it is of great importance to be taking vitamins as early as possible in your pregnancy. Honestly, you SHOULD be taking vitamins before you conceive. This will make sure you have the right nutrients in your body as your baby is developing.

With 50% of the pregnancies in America being unplanned there is a large number of women who show up at my office with this question having already reach 4 - 6 weeks into their pregnancy. This is not optimal and I encourage YOU to plan your pregnancy.

If you are one of the women in America with an unplanned pregnancy, (NOT unwanted, just unplanned) then I am glad you are here to watch this video or read this article.

There are five KEY ingredients in a prenatal vitamin. There are many other ingredients in prenatal vitamins, but these 5 are the main ones you want to make sure are in your prenatal. Later in this post, I will recommend to you my favorite prenatal vitamins.

ONE: Folic Acid / Folate
The amount of Folic Acid, also known as Folate, that is recommended is 400 - 800 mcg (micrograms). Folic Acid is important in the development of the babies brain and spinal system. It is very important to take this prior to conception if possible.

TWO: Iodine
Iodine needs to be taken in the amount of 150 mcg (micrograms) on a daily basis. Iodine is also important in the babies brain development as well as the mother later in pregnancy. As a woman develops in her pregnancy she will have increased stress on her thyroid gland (the gland in your neck). If not enough iodine is consumed then the thyroid gland cannot function and this puts women at an increased risk for preterm labor, miscarriage, and still-birth (babies dying inside of the mom).

THREE: Choline
Choline needs to be consumed in the amount of 400 - 450 mg on a daily basis. Choline can be found in many of the foods you eat like eggs, liver, legumes, etc…. But often times women don’t get enough choline from their foods and they need a prenatal vitamin to supplement the missing choline.

FOUR: Vitamin D
A lot of times women that live north of the Mason-Dixon line in the united states don’t get enough sun in their daily activity. Sun is very important when it comes to Vitamin D absorption in the body. You need to be taking around 1000 - 4000 IUs (international units) per day.

FIVE: Iron
Iron is very important in your blood transferring oxygen to your body. It is recommended to take 20 - 30 mg (milligrams) per day.

Those five items are very important to consume on a daily basis. I have identified one prenatal vitamin that is very good. It is called MegaFood Baby and Me. This prenatal vitamin has all of the elements we discussed except it does not have quite enough Choline it has 300 mcg of Choline per daily serving.

So, how do you get that extra Choline you need? You can eat eggs, dairy, beans, and spinach. So, with that in mind if you take your prenatal vitamin and eat one egg per day you will have the recommended amount of Choline in your daily intake.
