Single Food Chart for all the Trimesters

Blissful pregnancy and an healthy diet are the two sides of the same coin. Only a healthy pregnancy  will finally reach upto the birth of a healthy baby.

So don't ignore your diet plan even if you are in your first trimester. You might feel next to impossible to swallow anything sometimes. But be calm all these are the part of your nine month journey. Keep having small meal at regular interval.

Now the question arises which food you need to avoid and which food will add into your healthy pregnancy. Have a look at the chart below recommended by my Gyno. Hope it will you.
