During pregnancy, the body needs specific nutrients crucial for the proper development and growth of the child, as well as the health of the mother. These include primarily folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin D, or Omega-3 fatty acids (especially DHA), calcium, zinc, magnesium, and iron. A well-balanced diet ensures all these nutrients. If necessary, these can be supplemented in the form of dietary supplements, as no single food can provide all these nutrients.
