A complex of vitamins for pregnant women 1-2-3 trimester. Which is better, reviews

Gynecologists recommend that women take a complex of various vitamins not only during pregnancy, but also at the planning stages. Modern pharmaceutical companies strive to ensure that vitamin preparations for pregnant women had in their composition all the most necessary components both for the mother's body during this period, and for her unborn child.

Indications for use

Indications for the appointment of a vitamin complex may be:

• pregnancy that has a complex course;
• repeated miscarriages;
• a specialized diet with limited meat products (vegetarianism);
• smoking (quitting cigarettes a few months before pregnancy).

Contraindications include:

• an allergy of an aggressive nature (for example, to one or more of the constituents of the vitamin);
• hypervitaminosis, caused by an overabundance of a specific trace element in the body of a pregnant woman.

Classification

During the period when an embryo develops in a woman's reproductive organs, the body of the expectant mother undergoes certain changes. In each trimester of pregnancy, the number of required substances may fluctuate, but most often these components are always the same.

These include:

1. Folic acid: needed for the rapid fertilization of the egg. Reception of this element can reduce the risk of malformation of all structures up to 70%, and also affects the correct formation of the primary nervous system of the fetus - the spinal cord and brain.
2. Tocopherol: an antioxidant that helps to restore and maintain the vital functions of a woman's body while waiting for a baby.
3. Cholecalciferol(vitamin D3): produced by the human body using ultraviolet radiation and can be contained in food in small quantities. With a lack of this element in the body, it is prescribed both from 1-2 months and after 3 months of pregnancy.
4. Retinol and Beta Carotene: helps to form the vascular and cardiac system of the unborn child, and also contributes to the correct metabolism. If it is lacking, fetal anemia can be diagnosed. With such a diagnosis, it is very important to choose the correct dosage of the drug, since its oversaturation is very harmful for the development of the fetus.
5. Vitamins B: this component promotes the assimilation of all substances in the body. Vitamin in this case acts as the basis for the good health of both the woman herself and the future child. It must be present in vitamin preparations without fail.

Microelements have a significant role before conception and at the time of pregnancy itself:

1. Iodine: regulates the synthesis of hormones that the thyroid gland produces. Low iodine levels are fraught with underweight and difficult childbirth.
2. Zinc: we strengthen maternal immunity, practically minimizes the threat of termination of pregnancy, helps to synthesize nucleic acids. An insufficient amount of zinc leads to an increased risk of diseases such as hydrocephalus, curvature of the spine, hernia, and the likelihood of attenuation of labor is also high.
3. Iron: maintains the level of hemoglobin in the blood of the expectant mother at all stages of childbearing.
4. Calcium: one of the fundamental components, because it has a positive effect on the development and growth of teeth and bone tissue. From the female body, at the time of fetal development, calcium tends to quickly wash out, which is why its use at all stages of gestation is so important.
5. Lutein: important for the correct formation of brain structures, retina of the unborn child. Recommended for use by women over 30 years of age.
6. Rutoside: helps to strengthen the vascular walls. Has antioxidant properties, which allows you to cleanse the body of harmful toxins.
