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. Babies need vitamins for normal growth. Vitamins are found in vegetables, fruits, and grains.
