Diet should be balanced in pregnancy. If you are a vegetarian try to get the proper allocation of grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, calcium-rich foods, nuts, and vitamin B-12. If you eat dairy products and eggs, then this is much better as they are nutrient dense. you must meet most of your nutritional needs during pregnancy and if you are a non-vegetarian then you will be able to meet yournutritional needs easily.

Try to get all essential nutrients in the natural manner. Get all essential vitamins and minerals daily. Have prenatal vitamins along with a healthy diet. Have leafy greens, fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Get plenty of calcium-rich foods like broccoli and low-fat milk and yogurt, to help build your baby's bones and teeth. Exercise during pregnancy is safe for most women and can even relieve some of the discomforts of pregnancy. So incorporate some exercises.

Some forms of exercise that are particularly good for pregnant women are walking, swimming, stationary cycling, and yoga. When you reach your second and third trimesters, don't do exercises that require lying on your back, and never do workouts that pose a risk of trauma to your abdomen while pregnant. It is better to consult your doctor before starting exercises.
