What you choose to eat when you’re pregnant may influence you and your baby’s health now and for years to come. To eat well during pregnancy you must do more than simply increase how much you eat. You must also consider what you eat. You only need about 300 additional calories a day, especially after the first trimester, when your baby grows quickly. The calories should come from nutritious foods so they can contribute to your baby's growth and development.

The PREGNANCY FOOD Guide is a valuable tool filled with information, recipes, and tips to help maximize health through all stages of pregnancy. Developed by scientists at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, a Harvard teaching affiliate, and supported by a grant from the Egg Nutrition Center, this important resource should be a part of any pregnant woman's library.
