Fresh fruits give you ample amounts of dietary fibre and roughage, which is good for your pregnancy-related constipation as well. Refrain from eating canned fruits and opt for fresh fruits instead. You may take 3-4 servings a day.
Pumpkin, spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes and many other fresh vegetables should be added to your pregnancy diet. You can take 3-4 servings of vegetables in a day.
Meats, poultry and eggs are a good source to spice up your protein intake in pregnancy and protein are very important for foetal development. However, if you are vegetarian, then you may add lentils, beans and nuts instead to take care of your protein intake.
Calcium is required not only for you, but it is very important for the formation of foetal bones and teeth. You should add three serving of dairy in your diet, and thus you should take milk, cheese, yoghurt or butter to cater for your calcium requirements.
You should have three to four serving of whole grains in a day. You can eat cereals, whole wheat bread or other such food items.
