What to eat during pregnancy?

This should be taken very seriously. As your diet does affect the growth of your baby.


  1. Carbohydrates: The basic building block for our body. They are the main source of energy. When we consume any carbs, they are converted into sugar to provide the energy to our cells for our proper functioning. They are present in:-
    1. Wheat (Bread, Roti)
    2. Potato
    3. Cereals
    4. Corn
    5. Banana

  1. Vitamin and Minerals: They are the essential nutrients which our body requires in small quantity for the right functioning. Like its recommended to have Vitamin C( present in orange) before having iron tablet as this vitamin helps in absorbing iron. Your diet should include all the seasonal fruits and vegetables.

  1. Protein/Dairy: Your body requires protein to ensure the right and steady growth of your foetus. This has to be included in your diet during the 9-month span. The food which are have high protein content are:-
    1. All the dairy products:- Milk, Cottage cheese, yogurt
    2. Legumes :- peas, beans, lentils
    3. Egg
    4. Meat
