During pregnancy, the foods you eat can affect the growth and development of your baby. Choose foods that give you protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein helps the baby grow.
It builds muscle, blood, and bones. Meat, fish, eggs, milk, beans, and tofu are protein foods. Five or more servings of these foods should be eaten each day to get enough protein. Vitamins are found in vegetables, fruits, and grains. Your baby s vitamin needs will be met when you eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
