Pregnancy menu plan
Second trimester: planner 1
Eat plenty of foods that help your unborn baby grow. Foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids will help your baby’s brain development. We’ve highlighted in blue foods that are rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Calcium and vitamin D help to grow strong bones and teeth. We’ve highlighted in yellow foods that are rich in calcium and in brown foods that are rich in vitamin D. You’ll need to have plenty of iron-rich foods. Iron helps you to make red blood cells for your growing baby. We’ve highlighted in red foods that contain iron.

Tip: don’t drink tea or coffee with a meal – it makes it harder for your body to absorb iron
