A good diet is inclusive of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, fats, vitamins and good amount of water.
Protein
A
good intake of protein in regular diet aids in cell growth and blood
production. Fish, peanut, tofu, lean meat, poultry, egg whites and
pulses are all rich in protein
Carbohydrates
Food with
carbohydrates helps to produce energy that is necessary for the body.
Bread, cereals, rice, potatoes, pasta, fruits and vegetables are good
sources of carbohydrates.
Calcium
Food rich in calcium is a
must during pregnancy that aid in developing strong bones and teeth. It
also helps in muscle contraction and proper nerve functioning. Milk,
cheese, yogurt, spinach, sardines or salmons with bones are carriers of
protein. Calcium intake is very important during pregnancy, as the baby
demands a high supply of calcium. So it is necessary for the mother to
increase the intake of calcium to prevent the loss of calcium from her
own bones.
Iron
A good intake of iron helps in the production
of red blood cells that keeps anemia at bay. Lean red meat; spinach,
cereals and iron fortified whole grain breads supply a lot of iron to
the body. Vegetables like drumsticks and beetroots are also rich in iron
Vitamin A
Vitamins
are providers of healthy skin, good eyesight and also aid in developing
strong bones. Carrots, dark green leafy greens and sweet potatoes are
good sources of vitamin A
Vitamin C
Citrus fruits, broccoli,
tomatoes, fortified fruit juices carry vitamin c that is required for
healthy gums, teeth and strong bones.

If you really want to get a proper diet, you need to talk to your Doctor. They will know what the best food choices are to insure you have a health baby. This all seems like reasonable suggestions, but you should always talk to a doctor about a serious issue like this.
