Not only do you need to keep yourself nutritionally healthy, but your foetus also relies on your nutrition for optimal development. The basic principles of healthy eating are not too different during pregnancy. Your diet must include lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. This combination ensures you are getting the extra calories required during pregnancy, including all the necessary micro-nutrients that your developing baby needs. Don't forget sea food which contains healthy fats necessary for the baby's neurological development.
