About Prenatal Vitamins | Pregnancy Support

Supports your body from preconception: If you are planning to conceive, starting a prenatal wellness routine can help ensure your body is as healthy as possible, while also setting the nutritional foundations for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Increased nutritional demands: When considering pregnancy, you've probably heard the phrase "eating for two"; well, it is certainly true that pregnancy brings with it increased nutritional demands, which is where prenatal vitamins come in. With a range of different formulas, prenatal vitamins are designed to help support your nutritional needs before and during pregnancy. 

Reduces tiredness and fatigue: Pregnancy can be exhausting for a range of reasons. Prenatal formulas contain essential nutrients such as iron, B vitamins, and vitamin D to support your energy and reduce tiredness. 

Offers reassurance as your needs change: Pregnancy can change everything, from your routine to your appetite, to your digestion and mood. Prenatal vitamins can give you some consistency and help you support your wellbeing throughout every change that pregnancy brings.

What We Say...

“Pregnancy and preconception can feel like a time of constant questions, but your supplement routine doesn’t need to feel overwhelming. The right prenatal vitamin can help support your nutritional foundations, giving you one less thing to worry about as your body prepares for this next stage.”


- Julia, Director

Nutrients to Look Out For in Prenatal Formulas

Folic Acid: Folic acid is one of the most important nutrients before and during early pregnancy. It's suggested you should take 400 micrograms daily while trying to conceive and during the first 12 weeks, as it's vital for rapid cell division, the creation of DNA and your baby's growth.

Vitamin D: Vitamin D helps regulate calcium and phosphate in the body, which are needed for healthy bones, teeth and muscles. It's recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women to take a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D, particularly between September and March, when you'll get less vitamin D.

Iron: Iron supports red blood cell formation and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. Additional iron may not be necessary for everyone; it can make a big difference for women struggling with low energy.

Iodine: Iodine supports normal thyroid function. It is often included in prenatal supplements because thyroid hormones play an important role during pregnancy.

Choline: Choline is becoming increasingly recognised in prenatal nutrition as it is an essential nutrient for fetal brain development, spinal cord formation and placenta function. Prenatal vitamins with choline and DHA create a comprehensive formula to support your baby's development.

DHA: DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid commonly found in oily fish and algae oil. It is often included in prenatal supplements designed to support nutrition during pregnancy.

Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is especially important for those following a vegan or a vegetarian diet. Look for specially formulated pregnancy supplements that offer vegan or vegetarian options. Dr Vegan offers comprehensive pregnancy multinutrients to support your energy, mood and digestion.

Supplements for Conception

When planning a pregnancy, we'd always recommend thinking about prenatal supplement support early on.
Key nutrients to consider:

  • Folic acid: Supports maternal folate status before and during early pregnancy.
  • Vitamin D: Recommended during pregnancy and often started during preconception.
  • Iodine: Supports normal thyroid function, which is important for overall well-being.
  • Choline: Often included in more comprehensive prenatal formulas.

Prenatal Vitamins and Morning Sickness

Pregnancy nausea can make even simple routines feel difficult. If your prenatal vitamin feels hard to take, you are not alone.

Some people find it easier to take prenatal vitamins with food, later in the day or before bed. Others prefer a smaller capsule, a gentle formula, or separating nutrients such as DHA from their main prenatal tablet.

If your supplement is making nausea worse, get in touch with our wellness experts. We may be able to suggest a different format or approach that feels more manageable and supportive for you and your baby.

The most important thing is finding a routine that supports you without adding extra stress during this exciting time.

Supplements to Support You Through Your First Trimester

If you're newly pregnant, congratulations! The first trimester is such an exciting time, and it is an important stage for early development. It can also be the time when nausea, tiredness and appetite changes strike.

Key Nutrients to consider:

  • Folic acid: Particularly important during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
  • Vitamin D: Supports normal bone, teeth, muscle and immune function.
  • Vitamin B12: Especially important if you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet.
  • Iron: May be recommended if your levels are low or if advised by your midwife or GP.
  • Ginger or gentle digestive support: Some pregnancy formulas include ingredients designed to feel easier on the stomach, but always check suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT ARE PRENATAL VITAMINS?

Prenatal vitamins are supplements designed to support nutritional needs before and during pregnancy. They often include folic acid, vitamin D and other pregnancy-focused nutrients.

WHEN SHOULD I START TAKING PRENATAL VITAMINS?

Ideally, prenatal support should begin before pregnancy. In the UK, folic acid is recommended from before pregnancy until 12 weeks pregnant.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PRENATAL VITAMIN?

Folic acid is one of the most important nutrients before and during early pregnancy. Vitamin D is also recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

DO I NEED PRENATAL VITAMINS IF I EAT A HEALTHY DIET?

A varied diet is the foundation of pregnancy nutrition, but certain nutrients are still recommended as supplements, as it can be challenging to get enough from food alone. Supplements offer a fail-safe to get all the nutrients you and your baby require.

SHOULD PRENATAL VITAMINS INCLUDE CHOLINE AND DHA?

Some prenatal vitamins include choline and DHA as part of a more comprehensive formula, making them an increasingly popular choice for expectant mothers.

CAN I TAKE COD LIVER OIL DURING PREGNANCY?

No, the NHS advises not to take cod liver oil or supplements containing vitamin A retinol during pregnancy, as too much vitamin A could be harmful. If you're ever unsure, always speak to your healthcare provider or midwife.

CAN I TAKE PRENATAL VITAMINS WHEN TRYING TO CONCEIVE?

Yes, prenatal vitamins can be suitable when trying to conceive, particularly because folic acid is recommended before pregnancy. If you have specific health concerns, speak to your GP or pharmacist.

CAN PRENATAL VITAMINS MAKE ME FEEL SICK?

Some people find prenatal vitamins difficult to tolerate, especially during early pregnancy. Taking them with food, later in the day or trying a different format may help.

ARE PRENATAL VITAMINS SUITABLE FOR VEGANS?

Some prenatal vitamins are suitable for vegans, but not all. Check the label carefully for capsule ingredients.
