5. Protein and fiber
Protein and fiber are present abundantly in mushrooms.
Protein is necessary for the overall development of your baby, as it contributes to the muscle mass.
Fiber helps prevent irritable conditions such as constipation and fatigue, improves digestive health, and keeps you active and ready for a smooth delivery.
6. Iron promotes hemoglobin levels
Your body requires more hemoglobin as the volume of the blood increases during pregnancy. Mushrooms are an excellent source of iron, which helps produce hemoglobin and red blood cells in both the mother and the fetus.
