Prenatal and Postpartum Care For Support During Pregnancy
Prenatal and postpartum care products can provide support for you and your baby during and after pregnancy. These products serve specific purposes based on your unique needs at different stages of your pregnancy.
Prenatal & Postpartum Care Products
Prenatal and postpartum care products offer support during and after pregnancy. Prenatal care products support your health and help your developing baby. Prenatal care vitamins, most commonly used during pregnancy, supply nutrients that help babies develop properly.
Postpartum care essentials focus more on the mom's comfort. For example, pads and postpartum underwear help protect against leaks from postpartum bleeding. For nursing moms, nursing pads and creams can help prevent leaks and soothe the skin. Postpartum support products can help new moms feel more comfortable and secure.
What Do Prenatal Care Vitamins Help With?
Prenatal care vitamins are specially formulated to provide the nutrients that pregnant women and their developing babies need throughout the pregnancy. You could have nutritional deficiencies when you're pregnant, and the prenatal vitamins help fill in the gaps. Some key nutrients these vitamins contain include:
Folic acid to help prevent neural tube defects in babies
Calcium to support fetal bone growth and help prevent the mom from losing bone density
Iron to help prevent anemia and help the blood carry oxygen effectively
Omega-3 fatty acids to support the baby's brain development
Prenatal vitamins also limit the amounts of certain vitamins that could be dangerous in larger doses during pregnancy. That includes vitamin A, which could cause birth defects if you take too much. Swapping out your regular multivitamin for a prenatal supplement during and after pregnancy helps get the right doses of various nutrients to support you and your baby.
