Calcium and Iron should not be taken together. Lean meat, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and adequate water [8 to 10 glasses of water or fluids] are required during pregnancy.

EXERCISE
Low-impact activities at a moderate level of effort are comfortable, and enjoyable for many pregnant women. Suggested exercises are walking, breathing exercises, and mild stretching exercises. Avoid jerky, bouncing, and high-impact movements. Connective tissues stretch more easily during pregnancy and these types of movements put you at risk of joint injury. Exercise can ease and prevent the aches and pains of pregnancy, constipation, varicose veins, backaches, and exhaustion.

Sleep of 8 to 10 hours is required and maintain proper posture. Maintain good oral hygiene. Pregnant women should be in a pleasant environment and supportive family to maintain good mental health
