Lentils&Dried Beans:
Pregnant women also need to eat more protein than non-pregnant women, approximately 10 grams more. Experts recommend 60 grams of protein daily.
But protein is not the only thing these two foods are rich in; for example, they are also high in fiber which helps keep constipation at bay.
Milk:
When you are pregnant, your body naturally absorbs more calcium, about two times more, from foods. That is why you do not really need calcium supplements while you are pregnant as your diet can provide you with enough calcium.
One 8-ounce glass of non-fat milk gives you about 30 percent (1000 milligrams) of your recommended dietary intake of calcium.
Bananas:
Two biggest benefits of bananas during pregnancy are that they help you wade off pregnancy fatigue by providing you instant energy and that they are easy on the stomach when you are feeling nauseated.
Eggs:
Eggs provide us with all the essential amino acids. While eating eggs, ensure you also take in the yolk. The yolk contains choline, an essential nutrient needed by the body for normal cell function.
Meat:
Iron is another substance you need in higher amounts during pregnancy. In comparison to non-pregnant women, expecting mothers need to consume twice as much iron.
Cheese:
During pregnancy, soft cheese is off-limits. You should instead, fill the plate with other varieties like mozzarella and cheddar to meet your daily requirement of cheese. One ounce of cheese offers you as much as 150 to 200 milligrams of calcium. Also, cheese is rich in protein as well.
