Are you Vegan and Pregnant?

Pregnancy is a nutritionally demanding period in a Woman’s life. The demand for certain vitamins and minerals during Pregnancy is increased such as Folate, Iron, Calcium,
Vitamin D
and Magnesium


The greatest risk of deficiency in Vegan Pregnant Women is that of an Iron Deficiency.
Some Vegan Diets can be low in Iron, which may increase risk of Anemia. Thus, if you are Vegan it may be beneficial to take a Pregnancy Supplement that contains Iron.  


Preggy-Mama is a Vegan Pregnancy Supplement (or vegan prenatal vitamins).

Each Preggy-Mama pack contains a 30-day supply of Multivitamin and Minerals Tablets:

  • 30 x Multivitamin and Mineral Tablets

Take one Multivitamin Tablet daily with breakfast.

Preggy-Mama and Stellar-Mama – for Mom and Baby.

During Pregnancy, the need for certain Vitamins and Minerals increases because of the development of your Baby. The following Vitamins and Minerals are most important during Pregnancy

  • Folate is important for your Baby’s Brain and Spinal Cord development and for the prevention of Neural Tube Defects such as Spina Bifida
  • Iron becomes important in your second and third trimesters of Pregnancy as the blood volume increases for baby and to prevent anemia in Mom
  • B-Complex Vitamins work synergistically together with Iron during Pregnancy and are essential for the development of healthy red blood cells
  • Calcium, Vitamin D and Magnesium are essential for the development of Baby’s Bones and Teeth as well as for maintenance of Mom’s Bones and Teeth
  • Antioxidants such as Vitamin C are important for Immune Support in Pregnancy
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids particularly those rich in DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) are important for the development of Baby’s Brain as well as for maintenance of Mom’s Brain to prevent “Pregnancy Forgetfulness” and Post-partum Depression

Yes, Pregnancy Vitamins taken on an empty stomach can make a person feel sick and nauseous. Some Women during their first trimester of Pregnancy develop “Morning Sickness” and thus anything that they take will make them feel sick. 

It is recommended that you always take your Pregnancy Supplement with a meal to prevent you from feeling sick. Alternatively, if you are suffering from pregnancy-related Morning Sickness it is best to stick to a plain Folate Supplement like Stellar Activ-Folate in your first trimester of Pregnancy

Yes, if you are trying to conceive it is recommended that you start taking folate (folic acid) at least 2 to 3 months before trying to conceive. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that all Women planning to fall Pregnant should start supplementing with Folate (Folic Acid) at least 2 to 3 months prior to conception and for the first trimester of Pregnancy

It is also beneficial to start preparing your body for Pregnancy by taking a Pregnancy Vitamin that contains Iron, B-Complex Vitamins, Antioxidants, Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D in addition to Folate (Folic Acid). 

Preggy-Mama is a Pregnancy Vitamin and Mineral Supplement that contains Vitamins and Minerals for preparing your body for conception. 

Ideally, you should start taking pregnancy vitamins before conception (before even falling pregnant) especially Folate. The birth defects prevented by Folate (Folic Acid) happen within the first few weeks of pregnancy, before you even know you’re expecting.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that all Women planning to fall Pregnant should start supplementing with Folate (Folic Acid) at least 2 to 3 months prior to conception and for the first trimester of Pregnancy

Preggy-Mama contains Folate and can be taken before you even fall Pregnant to prepare your body for Pregnancy

Even if you eat a healthy diet, you may still need to take Pregnancy Vitamins, especially Folate (Folic Acid). The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that all Women planning to fall Pregnant should start supplementing with Folate (Folic Acid) at least 2 to 3 months prior to conception and for the first trimester of Pregnancy. 

Your body’s nutritional demands increase during pregnancy. It takes a lot of vitamins and minerals to grow a full-term baby! Pregnancy vitamins help fill the gap in any missing nutrients (Vitamins and Minerals) you may have.

Preggy-Mama can help to fill the Vitamin and Minerals gaps that you may have during Pregnancy, that your diet may not provide.

Prenatal Vitamins are Pregnancy Supplements that contain a combination of Vitamins and Minerals that you will need before, during and after your Pregnancy. Folic Acid / Folate is the most important Vitamin to take when planning a pregnancy. However, there are many other Prenatal Vitamins that are also important in Pregnancy such as Iron, B-Complex Vitamins, Antioxidants, Calcium, Vitamin D and Magnesium. 

Taking a Prenatal Vitamin such as Preggy-Mama will provide you with a comprehensive combination of Pregnancy Vitamins and Minerals. 

Yes, it is recommended that you take Pregnancy Vitamins while breastfeeding for at least 6 to 12 months after giving birth. Breastfeeding is a nutritionally demanding period in a Woman’s life and thus supplementing Vitamins and Minerals that are lost through the Breastfeeding process is important.

Preggy-Mama can be used before, during and after Pregnancy and throughout the Breastfeeding process.
