  1. Pregnant women must start their day with a healthy and hearty breakfast. This is very important because you need nutrients to fuel up your body for the entire day. The great thing about eating breakfast is that it helps to keep you from munching on unhealthy snacks that can be detrimental to your health and your baby’s health as well. One of the most nutritious recipes for pregnant women during breakfast is cereals.
