According to the American Pregnancy Association, a pregnant woman needs <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/healthy-pregnancy\/pregnancy-health-wellness\/pregnancy-nutrition\/\">an extra 300 calories per day<\/a> during these stages of pregnancy. Applying that to the USDA\u2019s outline, a moderately active 26-year-old woman would need to up her calories from 2,000 to 2,300 during her last two trimesters of her pregnancy.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_44ccdd-29, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_44ccdd-29[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_44ccdd-29\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_44ccdd-29 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_44ccdd-29[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_44ccdd-29\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_44ccdd-29 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_44ccdd-29[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_44ccdd-29\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading1938_44ccdd-29 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_44ccdd-29\">Protein, Fat and Vitamins&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While having enough calories to support fetal development is important, making sure those calories contain enough of the correct nutrients is equally important.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During pregnancy, women should eat more protein (approximately 20-25% of daily caloric intake should come from protein) and healthy fats (about 25-35% of their daily caloric intake). \u201cHealthy fats\u201d tend to be unsaturated fats \u2013 such as those in nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil \u2013 rather than saturated fats.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamins are also important for fetal development. We\u2019ve covered the importance of proper nutrition for childhood development, but the benefits of good nutrition begin before a child is even born. There are six key nutrients essential for pregnancy. These are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-iron-nbsp\">Iron&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it\u2019s needed:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iron helps in the creation of new red blood cells, which both the mother and fetus will need. During pregnancy, a woman\u2019s blood volume nearly doubles \u2013 so iron is not a nutrient to skip!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to get it:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meat and eggs are great sources of iron (note that both should be fully cooked to be safe to eat during pregnancy \u2013 more on that later). Vegetarian sources of iron include dark leafy green vegetables, canned tomatoes and broccoli. Cooking meals in a cast-iron skillet will also increase food\u2019s iron content. Pregnant vegetarians and vegans in particular may want to consider an iron supplement.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_6899ab-33, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_6899ab-33[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_6899ab-33\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_6899ab-33 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_6899ab-33[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_6899ab-33\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_6899ab-33 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_6899ab-33[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_6899ab-33\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading1938_6899ab-33 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_6899ab-33\">Calcium&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it\u2019s needed:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During pregnancy, the body takes calcium from a woman\u2019s bones and transfers it to the growing fetus. Since the human body can\u2019t produce calcium on its own, it is crucial for pregnant women to eat foods that are high in this mineral.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to get it:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dairy products are one of the best sources of calcium. Additional sources include calcium-fortified grain products, salmon, tofu and dried fruits like dates, figs and prunes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_bfee8b-6e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_bfee8b-6e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_bfee8b-6e\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_bfee8b-6e mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_bfee8b-6e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_bfee8b-6e\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_bfee8b-6e img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_bfee8b-6e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_bfee8b-6e\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading1938_bfee8b-6e wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_bfee8b-6e\">Vitamin D&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it\u2019s needed:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin D plays a key role in calcium absorption, and since pregnancy increases calcium requirements, it\u2019s only logical that the body\u2019s need for vitamin D increases as well. This vitamin can also help reduce the chance of preterm labor and infections during delivery.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to get it:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting healthy amounts of sun exposure (5-10 minutes a day, 2-3 days a week is plenty \u2013 don&#8217;t get sunburned!) helps produce vitamin D. Foods containing vitamin D include egg yolk, salmon and cod liver oil, as well as D-fortified dairy products.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_15cd34-dd, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_15cd34-dd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_15cd34-dd\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_15cd34-dd mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_15cd34-dd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_15cd34-dd\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_15cd34-dd img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_15cd34-dd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_15cd34-dd\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading1938_15cd34-dd wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_15cd34-dd\">Folic Acid&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it\u2019s needed:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Folic acid has been proven to help prevent multiple birth defects in the developing fetus\u2019 brain and spine. In fact, it\u2019s so important to development that the CDC recommends that women planning their pregnancies begin upping their folic acid intake as early as a month before they even begin trying to become pregnant.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to get it:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general consensus among healthcare providers is that women should take a folic acid supplement to ensure that they get enough of this vital nutrient. But there are many foods that are good sources of folic acid, too, including beef liver (again, thoroughly cooked), lentils, spinach and beans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_478bea-e4, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_478bea-e4[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_478bea-e4\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_478bea-e4 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_478bea-e4[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_478bea-e4\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_478bea-e4 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_478bea-e4[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_478bea-e4\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading1938_478bea-e4 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_478bea-e4\">DHA&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it\u2019s needed:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DHA stands for docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. DHA is essential for the development of the fetus\u2019 eyes, heart, brain and nervous system.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to get it:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best sources of DHA are cold-water fish. However, these are notoriously high in mercury and should be avoided during pregnancy. Taking a high-quality fish oil supplement, or another DHA-providing supplement, is therefore recommended.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_d7fa3f-1a, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_d7fa3f-1a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_d7fa3f-1a\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_d7fa3f-1a mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_d7fa3f-1a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_d7fa3f-1a\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_d7fa3f-1a img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading1938_d7fa3f-1a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_d7fa3f-1a\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading1938_d7fa3f-1a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading1938_d7fa3f-1a\">Iodine&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it\u2019s needed:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iodine is a micronutrient necessary for the thyroid gland\u2019s hormone production. Getting enough iodine during pregnancy supports the mother\u2019s thyroid function and helps the fetus\u2019 thyroid develop normally, too.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to get it:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iodine is found in iodized salt, as well as in eggs, dairy products and seaweed. It is important to note that too much iodine can be as harmful as too little.
