Healthful eating habits for a healthy mother and baby Choose nutrient-dense foods Eat an extra 300 calories the last six months of pregnancy Eat no more than 12 ounces of low-mercury fish and shellfish per week Avoid food-borne illness Talk with an obstetrician about prescribing an iron supplement and/or multivitamin that includes folic acid.

Supplements Multinutrient vitamin supplements are recommended for pregnant women to cover the increased need for folic acid, vitamins B-6, C,and D, and calcium, copper, iron, and zinc.

Folic Acid (folate) Important for proper brain and nervous system development for the growing fetus Folate can be found in dark green leafy vegetables, whole grains, liver, dried beans and peas, peanut butter, and asparagus.

Iron Both the mother and the growing fetus need additional iron during pregnancy for building blood supply Excellent dietary sources of iron are dried fruits, spinach, liver, dark green leafy vegetables, and sardines.

Calcium Calcium is needed for the proper calcification of a growing baby's bones and teeth If the mother does not consume enough calcium, the body will automatically draw it from your bones— making sure your baby gets what he needs, but at the expense of your skeleton
