diet during pregnancy

Maintaining a healthy diet during pregnancy is very important.

During this time, your body needs additional nutrients, vitamins and minerals.

In fact, you may need 350â€“500 extra calories each day during the second and third trimesters.

A diet lacking in key nutrients may negatively affect the babyâ€™s development.
