Lauren McGrail is seven weeks pregnant, but she's spent months preparing her body.
“I try to get a lot of sleep, I get 8 hours a night and take my vitamins and try to eat a balanced diet,” she said.
A new study shows that pregnant women who got the least amount of vitamin E were five times more likely to have children who eventually developed asthma.
Researchers say vitamin E may be most important in early pregnancy since it plays an important roll in lung development. "
