What should I know about pregnancy nutrition?

Nutrition is vital during pregnancy as it supports both your health and your baby's growth. Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Ensure you get enough folic acid, which is crucial for preventing neural tube defects. Iron is also important, as your body needs it to support increased blood volume. Aim for foods high in calcium for bone health and consider taking prenatal vitamins as recommended by your GP. Stay hydrated, limit caffeine, and avoid alcohol for a healthier pregnancy. The NHS provides resources for dietary guidelines during pregnancy.
