North Indian pregnancy veg diet plan | First trimester: Plan 1

In your first trimester, you need to eat folate-rich foods as well as take a folic acid supplement. We've highlighted in light orange
foods that are rich in folic acid. You'll need plenty of iron-rich foods as well to help your body make red blood cells for your
growing baby. We've highlighted in green foods that contain iron.

If you're feeling nauseous, foods rich in vitamin B6 may help with morning sickness. We've highlighted in brown foods that are
rich in vitamin B6. Throughout pregnancy, you need to limit your caffeine intake as it can pass on to your baby. We have
highlighted in dark orange the foods containing caffeine.

Tip: Keep dry crackers near your bed to nibble on before you get up if you feel nauseous in the morning.
