What's Best

There are a lot of foods out there that's good for you and your baby. Here are a few:
  • Orange Juice: This juice is high in folic acid, vitamin C, and potassium, which has been shown to help lower high blood pressure, a real danger during pregnancy.
  • Yogurt: An excellent source of protein. It has more calcium than milk and also contains active cultures that reduce the risk of yeast infections, which are more common while you're expecting.
  • Broccoli: A good source of calcium, vitamin C, folate, and vitamin B6.
  • Figs: They have more fiber than any typical fruit or vegetable, more potassium than bananas, and plenty of calcium and iron whether they are fresh or dried.
  • Lentils: Like beans, lentils are a good source of folate and are rich in iron and protein. They're also full of fiber, which can help prevent constipation and help hemorrhoids.
