Written by on October 24, 2018

Maintaining a healthy diet during pregnancy is very important. During this time, your body needs additional nutrients, vitamins and minerals. In fact, you may need 350–500 extra calories each day during the second and third trimesters. A diet lacking in key nutrients may negatively affect the baby’s development.

Poor eating habits and excess weight gain may also increase your risk of gestational diabetes and pregnancy or birth complications.

Here are the foods

  • Broccoli and Dark, Leafy Greens.
  • Lean Meat.
  • Fish Liver Oil.
  • Berries.
  • Whole Grains.
  • Avocados.
  • Dried Fruit. Dried fruit is generally high in calories, fiber and various vitamins and minerals.
  • Water. During pregnancy, blood volume increases by up to 1.5 liters or about 50 ounces.
