The Jab We Met actress also said, “My only post-dinner sweet treat would be plain homemade yogurt mixed with chopped dates, cashews, and pistachios.”
Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta says during pregnancy, you’ll be informed about all the important nutrients to you and your baby. It can be a little dizzying. Hence, consuming homemade meals and seasonal foods are the essential nutrients a pregnant body needs.

Iron: The body uses iron to make extra blood for mother and baby, carry oxygen to both mother and baby, and keep RBC counts high.
Folic Acid: Folic acid is especially important during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy because it prevents neural tube defects in babies that affect the spine, spinal cord, and brain.
