Confused about which supplements you actually need during pregnancy? In this solo episode, Caitlin— Certified Perinatal Nutritionist—breaks down everything you need to know about prenatal vitamins and other common supplements for pregnancy.

She covers:

  • What to look for in a quality prenatal vitamin
  • Why omega-3s are especially important 
  • Which nutrients you can get through diet (and which are harder to meet without supplementation)
  • When you might need extra iron—and why that’s highly individual
  • Why “one-size-fits-all” supplements don’t work for everyone
  • Which trendy pregnancy supplements are unnecessary (and possibly gimmicky)
  • The importance of working with your provider to personalize your supplement plan

If you’ve ever stood in the supplement aisle feeling overwhelmed—or been bombarded by social media ads promising “the best prenatal ever”—this episode will bring clarity and confidence to your pregnancy nutrition journey.
