Wholegrains, seeds & nuts are important, buy wholegrain bread and cereals and nuts are great for snacks. Eat fish at least once a week (avoiding the larger fish that contain higher amounts of mercury) Salmon is the highest in DHA, eat lean red meat, and don't forget calcium, skim milk, yoguart and cheese (yummy!). Basically, your body will look after the baby first, so the baby will get what she needs, and if you're lacking in something you're the one that will suffer the most. A good rule of thumb with vegtables is to vary the colours you eat, and the brighter the colour of something inside, the more nutrience the vegtable or fruit contains. For example, an apple which is white inside doesn't have a lot of nutrience, while an orange which is a bright colour inside has lots. Different coloured vegtables contain different nutrience. One more thing, don't forget the fibre - pregnant women are prone to constipation. An important thing to remember is what NOT to eat when you're pregnant.
