Calcium is an essential nutrient during pregnancy because it helps your baby's bones and teeth form, and also supports healthy muscles and nerves. Dairy foods are among your top choices for calcium. A bowl of whole-grain breakfast cereal with low-fat milk is a healthy way to add calcium to your morning meal. A carton of yogurt with chopped nuts and fresh fruit is another calcium-rich breakfast. A glass of fortified orange juice is rich in calcium and also supplies vitamin C, a nutrient that helps your baby's immune system develop.
