I have a friend named Susan that is in the final stages of a pregnancy. She spent many years in painful fertility treatments, and seeing a variety of specialist. Many people don’t have such a hard time with conception.
When women begin their pregnancy plans, they think about adding folate in vitamin form to prevent birth defects. This is true, but there is another vitamin to be aware of; choline
Choline is a B vitamin that helps with the formation of cell membranes, including brain cells.
Consult your ob-gyn about appropriate dose levels and if any supplement is right for your pregnancy.
