Common questions

What is a good breakfast during pregnancy?

Protein plus slow carbs: fully cooked eggs on wholegrain toast, overnight oats, or yogurt with fruit and seeds. Steady blood sugar means steadier energy and less nausea.

Can I eat eggs while pregnant?

Yes - fully cooked, with both white and yolk set. They are one of the best pregnancy foods going: choline, B12, protein and iodine in one shell.

Can I drink coffee with breakfast while pregnant?

Yes, within the 200 mg a day caffeine limit - roughly one regular mug of coffee. Tea, cola and chocolate count toward the same total.
