First Trimester(Week1- Week12)

• Since in the beginning phase, initial few weeks
  are where they not even aware of pregnancy and
  later there can be signs of morning sickness,
  hence one should start with healthy diet with
  vitamins and minerals. Also it is important to
  know from doctor if you need any dose of
  multivitamins, especially folic acid. Folic acid,
  available in greens like broccoli and spinach,
  offers building blocks for the construction of
  cells in the babys body. Its magnesium content
  helps in easing morning sickness too. The iron
  intake helps in red blood cells formation whilst
  the childs heart is formed.
• Safety measures like having frequent meals with
  small amount of food helps in better digestion
  and higher nutritional value. Intake of fresh
  fruits, vegetables and liquids should be
  increased.

Second Trimester(Week13- Week28)

• Its time when babys eyes and bones need
  strengthening. Hence lot of dairy products like
  milk, yoghurt and cheese can provide that calcium
  reserve. Further Vitamin D helps in absorption of
  Calcium in the bones which can be fulfilled by
  sunshine and mushrooms. Beta-carotene from
  carrots and other orange foods benefits eye
  health.
• Since the baby is growing hence the abdomen needs
  to be strong to support the expansion and babys
  weight. It is by the end of this trimester that
  one can feel the movement of the baby.

Third Trimester(Week29- Week40)

• Its time for Vitamin K by adding kale, spinach
  or Swiss chard to the diet and this will help
  babys blood to clot. One should drink lots of
  milk to supply necessary calcium and magnesium to
  the baby who is still in the phase of
  strengthening the body. Towards the 38th week,
  the babys body is fully developed except for
  lungs which are still developing. Whole grains,
  fish and antioxidant rich foods like tomatoes,
  cranberries and artichokes will add to the strong
  immune system.
• In this period, it is quite natural to have more
  tendencies to go to bathroom as the growing baby
  exerts higher pressure on the body organs.
  Excessively spicy food or intake of extra salt
  should be controlled.
