Natural Health with Megan Sheppard: Am I taking the right supplements for my unborn child?

I have recently found out that I am pregnant — a surprise, as I was on the pill. I want to make sure that I am taking the right supplements for a healthy pregnancy. I have stopped taking my usual vitamins and am reading up on healthy eating options. What would you suggest?

One of the first things that you want to keep off the menu is green tea, since this robs the body of folic acid. Sticking to a simple whole foods diet is the best course of action — foods that will provide folic acid are oranges, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, lentils, baked beans, and peanuts.
