Vitamins other than folic acid, on the other hand, are not vitamins that should be used routinely during pregnancy. It is recommended to use these vitamins regularly with the diet. If the mother does not have serious nutritional disorders or serious vitamin deficiencies, vitamins should not be taken as supplements, but should be met from food.
