A Prenatal Routine Made for Every Stage of Your Pregnancy
Every trimester brings something new. Your body is changing, baby is growing, and behind the scenes, important development is happening every day. With so much to keep track of during pregnancy, your prenatal shouldn't add another layer of stress.
Instead, think of it as one simple part of your daily routine to help provide key nutrients that support baby's development while supporting you, too.
The Three Different Stages of Growth
Baby's needs change throughout pregnancy, and different nutrients play important roles along the way. You don't have to become an expert in fetal development to keep up. A consistent prenatal routine helps make sure you're providing nutritional support throughout each stage.
First Trimester: Supporting Early Development
The first trimester is full of major developmental milestones. One of the earliest is the formation of the neural tube, which develops into baby's brain and spinal cord.
That's one reason folate is especially important early in pregnancy. Our prenatal provides 1,000 mcg DFE of folate to support this critical stage of development.
It's happening before you can see much of a difference from the outside, but there's a lot happening on the inside.
Second Trimester: Supporting Baby's Continued Development
By the second trimester, baby continues developing rapidly, including important growth of the brain and eyes.
DHA and B12 provide nutritional support during this stage. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that supports brain and eye development, while B12 contributes to normal neurological function and overall health.
Your pregnancy may start feeling a little more familiar by this point, but baby's development certainly isn't slowing down.
Third Trimester: Supporting Growth
The third trimester is another period of rapid growth and development as baby gets ready for the world outside the womb.
Iodine supports normal thyroid function, which plays an important role in growth and development.
At this point, you may be focused on everything from nursery preparations to birth plans. Your prenatal can remain the simple, consistent part of your routine that helps you stay on track nutritionally.
Support for Mom
Pregnancy isn't only a period of growth for baby. Your body is doing a lot of work, too.That's why our prenatal provides nutrients designed to support mom alongside baby's development.
B12, pantothenic acid, and chromium support your nutritional needs as your body works through the demands of pregnancy.
Because taking care of yourself isn't separate from taking care of baby. You're part of the equation, too.
A Prenatal You Actually Want to Take
Knowing you should take a prenatal and actually wanting to take it every day can be two very different things.
Pregnancy can already come with nausea and heightened sensitivity to smells. The last thing you need is a prenatal with a strong fishy smell making your morning routine harder.
Black Girl Vitamins' Prenatal uses algal DHA instead of fish oil, so there's no fishy smell to contend with. It also includes ginger, traditionally used to support digestive comfort.
Support for Baby and You
From the earliest days of pregnancy through the final trimester, your body is supporting an incredible amount of growth and change.
Two gummies a day provides nutritional support for baby's development while helping support you throughout pregnancy.
Every trimester is different, but your prenatal routine can stay simple!
