Leafy vegetables, whole grains, dairy products, fruits and lean meats should make up 80 % of the diet.

You may notice some subtle signs of pregnancy – fatigue, nausea, frequent urination, aversions to foods that you usually love, morning sickness, breast swelling and tenderness, and a missed period if you are very regular with menstruation. A pregnancy test is a way to know for sure.
