Early Pregnancy Symptoms - What Should You Do?

Do you already have early pregnancy symptoms and want your maternity to be shorter and safer? Then read this "How To Induce Labor And Have An Easier, Safer And Shorter Birth"

Are you already experiencing early pregnancy symptoms? If you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, you probably know that it is important for you to get plenty of folic acid. Folic acid helps to reduce brain and spinal defects in your baby, especially in early pregnancy. What you may not know is how important it is to take multivitamins, as well.

A study, recently published in the medical journal Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention, noted the importance of taking multivitamins if trying to conceive or newly pregnant. Their research concluded that women who take multivitamins in early signs of pregnancy reduced their child’s risk of developing certain brain tumors.

Interestingly, taking a multivitamin during the later stages of pregnancy did not significantly reduce the infant’s risk of developing brain tumors. Women should take multivitamins in the earliest possible signs of pregnancy . This makes it all too clear that if you are trying to get pregnant, you should begin taking your multivitamins right away. Then continue with the approval of your physician at least through the early stages of your pregnancy.

Women are strongly urged to choose a multivitamin with 400 micrograms of folic acid. Reproductive women should eat healthy foods with plenty of vitamins and folic acid.

When choosing your vitamin, check its vitamin A content. Never take more than 770 micrograms of Vitamin A. Too much can cause birth defects in babies.

You should also look on the label for the letters USP. This means the vitamin has been evaluated and meets certain criteria by the U.S. Pharmacopeia Organization. Vitamins with a USP stamp have certain standardized levels of purity, safety, quality and content.

So good luck if you are trying to conceive, and take that multivitamin for both you and your baby! How early can pregnancy be detected is very important. If you already know you are pregnant, you can definitely take action into taking care of yourself and your soon to be baby.
