Prenatal Vitamins? Prenatel vitamins is a common misspelling of prenatal vitamins.
Prenatal vitamins contain a variety of vitamins and minerals that are important for a healthy pregnancy. These multivitamins are also beneficial for women who are breastfeeding or trying to conceive. Most importantly, prenatal vitamins contain folic acid, which can help prevent certain birth defects, such as spina bifida. They also contain important omega-3 fatty acids that help with brain and eye development. Possible side effects of prenatal vitamins include diarrhea, nausea, and constipation.
