eat as many grains. I would also take cod liver oil, butter oil,

vitamin C, and folic acid every day and avoid prenatal supplements

with iron added. The WAP site has its own version of pregnancy

guidelines that are better, IMO:

My understanding is that iron in supplements destroys vitamin E--get your iron

(and most other vitamins and minerals) from food for maximum bioavailability:

meat, eggs, etc. Your doctor will probably try to get you to buy expensive

prescription prenatal supplements. Sorry--I don't have time to find references,

etc.
