A pregnant woman who is a vegan needs to take calcium and iron nutrient supplements. When a woman is pregnant the developing fetus needs a lot of calcium to build bones and teeth. It also helps the baby to grow a healthy heart, nerves, and muscles as well as develop a normal heart rhythm and blood-clotting abilities. Iron is also important as the woman body would need it to make extra blood for the mother and the baby during pregnancy.
