Parallel on The Toast

Today's episode is also brought to you by Parallel. If you think it's too early to start a prenatal, it's probably not. OBs actually recommend starting a prenatal six to 12 months before you even start trying. So everyone knows that pregnancy pulls really heavily from your nutrient reserves. And a lot of women actually start pregnancy low on those nutrients without even realizing it. So it is better to build up before you need it. And starting early can make just the whole process feel calm and like you feel proactive or not urgent or stressful. So they have a prenatal, which is designed for the not trying yet phase. So it's called the Conception Support Pack and it's for the in-between season. So it's not just a generic prenatal. It includes the nutrients that OBs prioritize before conception like CoQ10, DHA, folate, and choline. It was founded by a practicing OBGYN. There is no downside to starting a prenatal early. It functions pretty much as just like a high quality daily multivitamin, which all women should be on. So if your timeline shifts, not a big deal. You're just supporting your body through whatever life throws at you. So they even have vitamins for the man in your life. So you can both be optimized for TTC because it shouldn't all be on you.
