reproduction and normal brain development of your baby. As pregnancy develops and a mom’s blood supply increases, the need for iron also rises. Pregnant women must con- sume an additional 700 to 800 mg of iron throughout their pregnancy. Choose lean cuts, with fat trimmed off. Be mindful that during pregnancy you cannot eat deli meats, especially raw or undercooked selections.
5. Yogurt This delicious creamy food will give
you and your baby a good amount of Calci- um, protein and Folate, not to mention the gut helpers (probiotics) in yogurt that will help you with pregnancy GI symptoms. You need around 1000 mg of calcium a day. The majority goes to your bundle of joy and the rest is stored in your bones for future use during lactation. Add some yogurt to your smoothies and oats, or better yet, substitute sour cream with plain greek yogurt.

6. Eggs This small, misunderstood, powerhouse
will give you a good amount of lean pro- tein, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, Zinc, Calcium and all of the B vitamins. Eggs are a good source of Vitamin B2 and B12. Egg yolks provide essential nutrients and antioxidants that support brain and eye health. Choline, for example, plays an important role in brain development and function. Lutein and zeaxanthin are strong antioxidants that help protect your eyes. Hard boil some eggs and stash in the fridge for a quick, powerful snack or add them to your salads.
Complementing your diet with a good pre-natal multi-vitamin is important. Women looking to become pregnant, or who are already pregnant, should take a pre-natal multivitamin to supply your body with the right levels of folic acid to prevent neural tube defects.
