Congratulations! The best thing you can do for your baby right now is to start taking a prenatal multivitamin. Whichever prenatal vitamin you choose, it should contain iodine and at least of 700 I.U. of vitamin D3. These two ingredients are the easiest way to discern if a prenatal multivitamin is high quality or junk, I would not take any prenatal that doesn't meet these two standards. Folate (folic acid) is very important as well...
Folic acid | March of Dimes
Vitamins and minerals during pregnancy | March of Dimes
This is one of the ones I would recommend, Walgreens keeps it in stock:
SimplyOne Prenatal | SuperNutrition
SuperNutrition - SimplyOne Prenatal | Walgreens
