Iron and Vitamin Tablets [(Excerpts from You and Your Child]

The requirement of iron and vitamins increases during pregnancy and the effort should be to get these naturally by the addition of iron and vitamin rich foods to your diet. After all, the word ‘vitamin’ was invented only in 1912. Most doctors do, however, prescribe some iron and vitamin tablets during pregnancy to ensure adequate amounts, but very concentrated forms should be avoided to prevent overdosage.
