Prenatal supplementation with the amino acid arginine is published at a metaanalysis [DOI: 10.1007/s00726-013-1515-z] as "L-arginine increased birth weight and prolonged gestational age at labor of IUGR fetuses." and also has numerous non-human studies supporting better natal outcome.

Related to arginine is N-carbamylglutamate NCG has support as improving pregnancy and neonate well being at a variety of veterinary references. "Maternal NCG supplementation significantly increased the number of total fetuses and live fetuses on day 28 of gestation by 1.32 and 1.29, respectively (P < 0.05), with a significant decrease in embryonic mortality (P < 0.05)." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26290006 I do not know of any human studies yet.

Most of these "category leaders" for recommended dosage amounts can be found on factsheets developed by the NIH, Office of Dietary Supplements, the CDC (on Folic Acid), and The Journal of Obstetrical and Gynecological Survey.
