Vitamin A is a crucial micronutrient for pregnant women and their fetuses. In addition to being essential for morphological and functional development and for ocular integrity, vitamin A exerts systemic effects on several fetal organs and on the fetal skeleton. Vitamin A requirements during pregnancy are therefore greater. Vitamin C supplementation may help reduce the risk of pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction and maternal anemia. Women supplemented with vitamin C alone or in combination with other supplements compared with placebo or no control were at decreased risk of having a placental abruption. Several studies have associated low maternal Vitamin D status to adverse outcomes in pregnancy, including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm births, low birth weight, and others. Recent scientific research data strongly support previous observational studies in that improving nutritional vitamin D status will improve birth outcomes. Vitamin E (tocopherol) is an essential, lipid soluble antioxidant. Because of its antioxidant properties and roles in anti-inflammatory processes and immune enhancement. Vitamin E has been hypothesized to protect against adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preeclampsia and spontaneous preterm delivery as well as against morbidity and mortality in very low birth weight or preterm infants. The eight B vitamins (B Complex Vitamins) play an important role in supporting a healthy pregnancy. Maternal nutritional status during pregnancy impacts fetal brain development. Vitamin B-1 (thiamine) is involved in the baby’s brain development. Vitamin B-2 (riboflavin) contributes to healthy eyes and skin. Vitamin B-3 (niacin) improves digestion and nutrient metabolism. Vitamin B-5 (pantothenic acid) plays an important role in the creation of essential hormones. Proper levels of Vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) support the baby’s brain and nervous system development. It also is required for producing norepinephrine and serotonin, two important neurotransmitters (signal messengers). Pyridoxine has been found to help ease pregnancy symptoms of nausea and vomiting. B-12 (cobalamin) helps support the nervous system. Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in neuronal development. Additionally, studies have shown that vitamin B-12 supplement along with folic acid may help prevent birth defects such as spina bifida and defects that affect the spine and central nervous system. Studies show that vitamin B-12 deficiency can lead to early pregnancy loss, low birth weight, high blood pressure in the woman, and fetal abnormalities. The CDC urges all women of reproductive age to take 400 micrograms (mcg) of Folic Acid each day, in addition to consuming food with folate from a varied diet, to help prevent some major birth defects of the baby’s brain (anencephaly) and spine (spina bifida). Magnesium (Mg) is an essential mineral required to regulate body temperature, nucleic acid, and protein synthesis with an important role in maintaining nerve and muscle cell electrical potentials. It may reduce fetal growth restriction and preeclampsia as well as increase birth weight. Poor maternal Zinc status has been associated with fetal loss, congenital malformations, intrauterine growth retardation, reduced birth weight, prolonged labor and preterm or post-term deliveries. A high fetal demand for Calcium in pregnancy is facilitated by profound physiological interactions between mother and fetus. The pregnant woman’s body provides daily doses between 50 and 330 mg to support the developing fetal skeleton. Calcium supplementation in pregnancy has been associated with a reduced risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension. Iron deficiency is common among pregnant women in industrialized countries, as shown by numerous studies. During pregnancy, more iron is needed primarily to supply the growing fetus and placenta and to increase the maternal red cell mass. Copper is essential micronutrient and has an important role in the human body. The serum copper increases during pregnancy and is doubled at full term. Copper is involved in the development of a baby’s heart, blood vessels, and skeletal and nervous systems. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
