Prenatal Care: Don't Take Any Supplement Without Asking Your Doctor

I almost took it before I noticed that warning, and I felt relieved I caught it before I put my baby in danger. I created this blog to remind all pregnant mothers that even natural supplements should be cleared by your doctor before you take them. They still contain natural chemicals that may not be safe to take during pregnancy.
