The Nutritious Pregnancy Chart not only gives ideas for what to eat, there is also information on herbs like raspberry leaf that many women take in tea form during pregnancy. They believe it shortens labor and makes the birth much easier and relieves nausea. This chart lists sources for protein, calcium, iron and folic acid. Each section gives the RDA for Pregnant women and then lists foods to give an idea of how much to eat in order to meet the requirements.

To eat enough Folic Acid, you might choose a glass of orange juice for breakfast and then eat a dinner of spinach and salmon. One cup of asparagus gives you 176 mcg folic acid. One ounce of unsalted almonds has 100 mg calcium, while 1 cup of milk has 290 mg calcium. Eating 1 ounce of cheddar cheese will give you 204 mg calcium.

This chart is probably most helpful while planning meals and by incorporating items like greens into soups and adding more healthy foods to your diet, you can increase nutritious foods that give you the protein, calcium, iron and folic acid your body needs.

Please consult with your physician for your specific nutritional needs.
