10+ Foods You SHOULD Be Eating When Pregnant (With Recipes Inside!)

6. Walnuts

Walnuts are a powerhouse of good stuff, and something that all pregnant mums should eat when the opportunity presents itself. In fact, these little nuts are one of the richest sources of plant-based omega-3s, and they’re also a source of protein and fibre, making them a perfect choice for a snack or something on-the-go when you need a pick-me-up. Admittedly, plant-based omega-3s don’t provide that much of the DHA that your baby needs, but they’re still very good for the baby, and good for you.
