Test your knowledge of which behaviors are most helpful and harmful to your developing baby.
Not only is eating nutritious food good for you and your baby, it also can ease some of the discomforts of pregnancy. A balanced diet can help minimize symptoms such as nausea and constipation.
If you're a woman of childbearing age, one of the B vitamins -- folate -- is especially critical.
Your healthy pregnancy diet should include these items, according to the American Pregnancy Association:
A variety of foods from each food group, but a limited amount of fats
Regular meals, plus snacks, to meet your calorie requirements
30 grams of fiber each day
8 or more cups of water each day
NO alcoholic beverages
