7 Pregnancy Superfoods You Must Keep In Stock

Let's admit it, maintaining a healthy pregnancy diet is really hard especially at random times you crave random food (I remember when I woke up my husband at 2:00 am to ask him to buy some chocolate coated potato crisps).  What's more is that only a handful of first-time mothers are accustomed to eating a healthy diet - ie. no soda/junk food/etc and more on greens + lean meats; most of us are used to having unhealthy snacks a couple of times in a week, especially when our schedule is tight and we have no time to cook healthy meals. 

But at the end of the day, the nutrients from the food we eat also passes down to our little ones, and that means foods with empty calories and low nutrients are a big no-no if we want our child to be delivered as healthy as possible! So in this article, we'll share with you 7 superfoods that are great for keeping both you and your baby as healthy as possible.
