   This reduces the chance that your baby will develop an open back, cleft lip or open palate. Take 400 micrograms of folic acid per day, from the moment you have the intention to conceive and during the pregnancy for the first 10 weeks.
2. Vitamin D

   In addition to vitamin D, calcium is important for the proper bone development of your baby.
   Your intake is sufficient if you take 300-450 milliliters of dairy    products (2-3 servings) and 40 grams of cheese.
2. Iron
   You need enough to prevent the risk of anemia. Products that contain iron are for example, whole meal bread and meat or a vegetarian choice enriched with iron. Take vitamin C-rich products, such as fruits and vegetables, with every meal, to enable your body to absorb the iron more easily.
3. Fish
   Fatty acids in fish are important for the development of the brain and vision in unborn babies. Eat fish, preferably fatty fish, once or twice a week. If you do not like to eat fish, you can opt for fish oil capsules.
