It is important to have nutritious food throught your pregnancy.The nine months of pregnancy are divided into three trimesters, first second and third trimester each three months long.

Taking right and nutritious food is necessary for your baby's growth and also to ensure a healthy and successful pregnancy. The nutrition food that you take during pregnancy is not only for good health but also impacts baby's development, brain growth and resistant to diseases.

1. Dried fruits and nuts :
Take all available dry fruits and nuts daily like raisin,walnuts, almonds, apricot, dates.Soak raisin in water and consume that daily morning,fresh dates in the evening.
