Hey! Happy to compare it to the guidelines in the prenatal vitamin note.

Pros: contains folate vs. folic acid, contains choline, contains zinc, selenium, magnesium, and iodine, contains iron vs. calcium, provides additional vitamin D although not sure why they coupled it with choline and B6, it would really make more sense to add calcium, K2, and magnesium (this is a con), comes with a DHA capsule
Cons: only beta-carotene, not the active form of other B vitamins outside of folate, no vitamin K2, minimal amount of magnesium, contains iron vs. calcium , not a great form of iron
