From Toronto - According to research in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, taking multivitamins during pregnancy may prevent low birth weight. In a meta-analysis of 13 studies, researchers found that women who received multivitamin supplementation during pregnancy had a 17% greater reduction in the risk of having a baby with low birth weight. The multivitamins used contained 8 to 28 micronutrients.
