There are two vitamins that are very important in pregnancy and that you can take as supplements: Folic acid and vitamin D.

Folic acid is naturally present in leafy vegetables, fruits and berries, beans and wholegrain products - but keep taking folic acid supplements too, until at least week 12 because you can't get enough through food alone to build up the level of folic acid that your baby needs.

Folic acid helps in the formation of your baby's nervous system and reduces the risk of spina bifida, which is where the baby's spine doesn't close up properly.
To start with, you need to register for your antenatal care in Licenced and prefered hospital near you. You will be given a recommendation of the list of Pregnancy vitamins, folic acids to start taking etc. Your doctor might also ask you to do a few vitals signs and basic tests like Blood Pressure, Body weight, Blood groups, genotype, Malaria test etc. I wish you a great pregnancy experience.
