Since red blood cells are doing such an important job, let’s make sure you have enough of them. About half of pregnant women are iron deficient, which leads to anemia. Anemia doesn’t usually have a huge effect on the health of your baby, but if it becomes severe it can lead to preterm birth and low birth weight. 6 You should be getting about 30 mg of iron from your prenatal vitamin, but make sure to get another 12 to 14 mg per day from your diet. As I’ve mentioned, iron is one of those pesky nutrients that can be difficult to absorb.
The richest source is from—gag—cod liver oil. If you can choke it down, more power to you! gov Omega-3 (in the Form of DHA): 200 Milligrams Turn to “Chapter 7: Go Fish” for more on this essential nutrient. Fiber: 28 to 30 Grams If you have friends who have already been through a pregnancy, they’ve probably clued you in to the fact that they got a little, uh, backed up during those nine months.

Pregnancy hormones (hello, progesterone) and the increased blood volume that goes along with pregnancy will make your gums more swollen and inflamed, which means that if you haven’t always been a flosser, you might end up with some seriously bloody gums. And oh, joy: 50 to 70 percent of all pregnant women develop gingivitis (the first stage of periodontal disease)—inflamed gums caused by plaque buildup.
