Global Surrogacy Inc., headquartered in California, provides a positive and welcoming experience for women who want to become surrogate mothers. Becoming a surrogate mother can be a complicated process without having a reliable agency to point you in the right direction.

One of the most important parts of a successful pregnancy is your diet. What is the best diet for a pregnant woman?

Listed below are healthy foods for a healthy pregnancy:

Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are essential for a healthy diet during your pregnancy. They contain the necessary nutrients for pregnancy, such as folic acid, and vitamin C. A surrogate mother needs 70 mg of vitamin C every day.

There are plenty of vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables around, such as oranges, broccoli, tomatoes, grapes, kale, and grapefruits.

Folic acid is needed to prevent neural tube defects. Although some vegetables need preparation to be tastier, dark-green leafy vegetables contain good amounts of folic acid. To stay healthy during pregnancy, you need four or more servings of vegetables and 2-4 servings of fruit every day.

Bread and Grains

When you are pregnant, you need energy. The easiest way to get energy is by consuming bread and grains.

Whole grains contain carbohydrates that give a pregnant woman one of the primary sources of energy she needs. And whole grains contain essential nutrients, such as vitamin B, fiber, protein, and iron. Pregnant women need 27 mg of iron a day.

Folic acid is not just in fruits and vegetables; you can get nutrients from folic acid by eating cereal and fortified bread. You should eat 6-11 servings of whole grains a day based on your weight and diet.

Protein

A pregnant woman needs a lot of protein every day. Most pregnant women in the developed world do not have a problem getting enough protein.

You can find protein in meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dried beans. Protein is necessary for pregnancy because it is an essential building block for the baby’s body and brain.

Calcium

To have a healthy diet during pregnancy, you must include calcium. A pregnant woman needs at least 1,000 mg of calcium every day. Calcium is important for normal blood clotting, healthy teeth and bones, and nerve functions. Calcium is found in milk products, almonds, dark-green vegetables, seafood, and peas.

Eating healthy during pregnancy will do wonders for your body and the baby’s development. Becoming a surrogate mother in California is a rewarding experience. Global Surrogacy Inc. will help you get started on the application process.
