12 Foods to Eat When You Are Pregnant

Salmon

Added to sushi, slathered in pesto, or smoked on a bagel, salmon is one of the must-have food on this list. This fish is high in nutritious omega-3 fatty acids, which provide many great health benefits. These good fats are important for develop the eyes and brain of the baby as well as increase the gestational length. Salmon is also a great source of vitamin D, which plays a key role in immune function and bone health. However, eat in moderation as this food may be high in mercury, especially in wildly-caught fish in the ocean. [6]
