Fruits and vegetables are a great source of fiber as well as a variety of vitamins and minerals. For example, vitamin C will help both you and your baby to develop healthy gums, while vitamin A will promote healthy skin, bones and eyes in your growing infant. Other essential vitamins and minerals found in fruits and veggies include folic acid, riboflavin, B vitamins and calcium. Pregnant women should eat 7 or more servings of fruits and vegetables combined (for example 3 servings of fruit and 4 of vegetables) each day. To optimize the nutrients you are getting, try to look for fruits and vegetables that are rich in color such as berries, oranges, pineapple, sweet potatoes, squash, broccoli and spinach.
