As mamas, we always want to give our babies our all—and that begins during pregnancy! My second pregnancy hit me much harder than my first, and when I told my midwife I was experiencing extreme exhaustion, she recommended adding an iron supplement to meet my daily nutrition needs.
Cue my introduction to MegaFood, a vitamin and supplement company that works with trusted partners to create premium products held to incredibly high-quality standards. Not only did their iron supplements give me a much-needed boost while my body worked at growing my baby, but I also found top-notch nutrition support from other products in their line.
Be sure to talk to your health care provider before starting any vitamins or supplements.
Here are a few favorites for new and pregnant mothers:

Pregnancy is beautiful. Pregnancy nausea? Not so much. But I often found that nausea relief pops and candies left me feeling queasier than ever.
