what foods to eat for pregnancy
Bananas are rich in potassium and offer quick energy to fight off pregnancy fatigue. They're also easy on your stomach if you're nauseated, says O'Rourke. Slice them up into cereal or whip one into a breakfast smoothie with yogurt, berries, ice, and a splash of orange juice.
Dried Beans & Lentils. All women need 10 extra grams of protein a day during pregnancy (for a total of at least 60 grams); beans and lentils are an excellent source, with about 15 grams per cup. They're also high in fiber, which helps to combat constipation. And 1 cup of cooked lentils meets half of your daily folate requirement.
