Essential Nutrients for a Healthy Pregnancy
During pregnancy, your body's nutritional needs increase dramatically. This is because you're not only nourishing yourself, but also providing sustenance for your growing baby. Here are some of the most important nutrients to focus on:
- Folic acid (vitamin B9). This nutrient is essential for preventing neural tube defects in your baby. It's recommended that you consume 400-600 micrograms per day.
- Iron. Iron is essential for red blood cell production. During pregnancy, your blood volume increases by up to 50%, so you need more iron to support this growth. Aim for 27 milligrams per day.
- Calcium. Calcium is essential for bone health, both for you and your baby. It's recommended that you consume 1,000 milligrams per day.
- Vitamin D. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. It's also important for your baby's bone development. Aim for 600 international units per day.
- Protein. Protein is essential for tissue growth and repair. During pregnancy, you need to consume about 70 grams per day.
Pregnancy-Safe Foods
In addition to focusing on essential nutrients, it's also important to know which foods to avoid during pregnancy. Here are some foods that are generally considered to be unsafe:
- Raw or undercooked meat, poultry, or seafood. These foods can contain harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illness.
- Unpasteurized milk and cheese. Unpasteurized milk can contain harmful bacteria, while unpasteurized cheese can contain listeria.
- Raw eggs. Raw eggs can contain salmonella, which can cause food poisoning.
- Alcohol. Alcohol can cross the placenta and reach your baby, causing harm.
- Caffeine. Caffeine can cause your baby's heart rate to increase and can also lead to sleep problems.
- Excess sugar and processed foods. These foods can contribute to weight gain and other health problems.
