The next preeclampsia myth we are going to discuss is a very common myth.

MYTH: If you eat right, you won't get preeclampsia.

REALITY: You can get preeclampsia no matter your diet. Preeclampsia is related to the initial implantation of the placenta, and diet in the rest of the pregnancy isn't going to change that. So far, big trials of diet changes have found no effect on the rate of preeclampsia.

Some studies show that a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains may slightly lower rates of preeclampsia, while nutritional deficiencies, like low calcium, vitamin D, and iron may increase the risk.

As human beings, we seek to control the situation when bad things like preeclampsia happen. We want to try to control the things we do have control over, but the truth is that nutrition is complex. Eating healthy during pregnancy is very important for the health of you and your baby, but even with a healthy diet, you can get preeclampsia.
