Also if your prenatal vitamin does not have the new vegetarian DHA in it... consider supplementing this on your own. Fish are typically restricted in pregnant women because of heavy metal potential.
Some prenatals now have DHA added (an Omega-3). You can also use flax oil safely. Women can get depleted of Omega-3s by the developing fetus which uses them for their brain and spinal cord.

Flax is now in some cereals, and the oil, in capsules. The oil itself can be used to make salad dressings. (the bottled oil, should be kept in the refrigerator). Women convert this essential fatty Omega-3 acid into the long chain Omega-3s, which form the nerves in the developing fetus. This would be a good insurance for you (mothers get depleted) and your baby, who is developing the brain, vision and spinal cord.
