Pre-natal vitamins are available in most pharmacies. In some cases, doctors will write a prescription for a woman to take pre natal vitamins. Vitamins that are important right before and during pregnancy are: folate or folic acid (for babies brain and spinal development) and calcium/vitamin D to keep mom's bones strong. Vitamin C is also a good one because it will help mom stay healthy during the pregnancy.
