Abstract

Nutrition has long been recognized as an important component of good health for the parturient and her fetus. Recently attention has been focused on individual nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Certain minerals have always been recognized as important in the human diet. Sodium, iron, and iodine are known to be essential components of a healthful diet. Lately, recognition of other minerals and trace elements has led to our understanding of their contribution to pregnancy and fetal development. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, lead, copper, fluoride, and selenium all make their own unique contribution to maternal and fetal health. All of the above possess unique characteristics of transport across the fetal placental unit. This discussion focuses on the role of these nutrients in the human with specific focus on their role in pregnancy and normal fetal development.
