2.

Iron can prevent anemia and infections. It can support the baby’s growth and brain development.

How much is required: During the entire pregnancy period, an additional 760 mg of iron is needed.

Good sources: Non-vegetarian sources (lean meat, skinless chicken, fish, turkey, well-cooked eggs), vegetarian protein sources (pulses, legumes, nuts, green leafy vegetables, cereals).
