Calcium: It is required to increase bone-mineral density and for dental health. Its sources are milk, cheese, yogurt, kale, okra, dark leafy greens, legumes, and sardines.(Pixabay)

Vitamins: Vitamin A is necessary for healthy skin, eyesight, and bone growth. Get it from carrots, leafy greens, eggs, cheese, and sweet potatoes. Moreover, have adequate vitamin C as it helps promote healthy gums, teeth, and bones. Eat citrus fruit, broccoli, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, blackcurrant, and strawberries. Vitamin D is also vital for your overall well-being and helps the baby to get stronger bones and teeth. You can eat fatty fish such as salmon, sardine and have fortified milk. Vitamin B6 is also required for optimum functioning of the body as it helps form blood cells and helps your body use protein, fat, and carbohydrates. To get enough of B6 just eat whole-grain cereals, and bananas. Another one is B12 that is needed for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Milk, eggs, and tuna can be opted for. But, before eating fish just confirm with the doctor. Many women can be allergic to seafood.(Pixabay)
