Supplements and drinks

The CDC recommends that all women of reproductive age get 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid every day, starting before conception and continuing through early pregnancy, to help prevent neural tube defects. Folate-rich foods do not replace that supplement. Some people are advised to take a higher dose — ask your doctor.
The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements recommends 15 micrograms (600 IU) of vitamin D daily for most adults. Ask your doctor whether you need a supplement, as requirements vary with diet, sunlight exposure and health conditions.
The CDC advises avoiding alcohol when trying to conceive and throughout pregnancy — there is no known safe amount. ACOG advises limiting caffeine to less than 200 mg a day in pregnancy. Recipes here contain no alcohol.
