Week 14 of pregnancy: nutrients to focus on

Week 14 of 42 Second trimester Source-backed Educational only

Short answer

In week 14, Niva puts protein, calcium and iron first in its food ideas, with magnesium and folate alongside. This is a food prompt, not a new target: the daily reference amounts for pregnancy stay the same from week to week.

Main focus in week 14

Protein. Read more: Week 21 Food Focus: Protein
Calcium. Food examples from ACOG: milk, cheese and yogurt; for people who have trouble digesting milk, broccoli and fortified cereals and breads. Read more: Calcium during pregnancy
Iron. Food examples from our Read on iron: beans, lentils, iron-fortified cereals, meat, poultry, seafood, tofu, spinach, and pumpkin seeds. Read more: Iron during pregnancy

Also in view

Magnesium. Read more: Pregnancy nutrients by week and trimester
Folate. Food examples from ACOG: fortified cereal, enriched bread and pasta, peanuts, dark green leafy vegetables, orange juice, beans. Read more: Folic acid and folate in pregnancy

Why these nutrients

Protein, calcium, and iron remain general pregnancy references throughout pregnancy. Niva uses the same focus for weeks 14 to 18.
