First trimester nutrition tip:
Folate (folic acid) is one of the most important nutrients in early pregnancy — it helps prevent neural tube defects that develop in the first few weeks, often before you even know you're pregnant.
Foods rich in folate include:
- Leafy greens (spinach, kale)
- Lentils and beans
- Fortified cereals
- Avocado
