The moment I found out I was pregnant, the first thing I thought (other than initial shock and excitment) was “Sh*t. I need to find a prenatal supplement like NOW.” 

Then more questions kept overflowing in my brain. Should I have been taking a prenatal supplement this entire year? Which prenatal supplement is the best? IS there a supplement good enough for my extra picky needs?

We all know that taking a prenatal supplement is important for filling nutritional gaps, promoting optimal fetal development, and supporting your overall health during pregnancy. But the truth is this: not all prenatal supplements are created equal, and most of them contain a lot of unnecessary crap in them. 

With a million prenatal supplements on the market, they all tend to vary drastically in quality. Tons of over-the-counter brands contain inferior ingredients such as synthetic vitamins and mineral salts, and its hard to tell whether these supplements are actually bioavailable.

Knowing all of this, I went on a mission to find the best quality supplements that delivered everything I needed for me and my baby’s health. I wanted to make sure my supplements were high quality with reputable sourcing, free of heavy metals and additives, and most importantly, bioavailable.

With the help of friends, doctors, my midwives and some amazing brands, I’ve done my research and have found my perfect prenatal supplement stack that hits all my personal requirements. And lucky enough, I was taking. many of these supplements prior to conception. 

To most people reading this, this lineup of supplements may seem like A LOT. And sure, its a lot easier to take 1-2 generic prenatal pills and call it a day. But as someone who has been taking many of these supplements before pregnancy, I can attest to how good they make me feel – and I’m pretty sure they contributed to our easy conception. And when it comes down to it, I’ll do everything I can now to help the chances of a healthy baby.
