Pregnancy meal planners: trimester by trimester

We've created 12 meal planners to help you have a healthy pregnancy. There are four planners for each trimester, so you’ll have plenty of choice.

Each planner features a variety of delicious snacks and dishes that are just right for you at your stage of pregnancy.

First trimester meal planners

Our first trimester planners have dishes that are rich in folate, which is great for your baby's developing nervous system. It also has foods that contain vitamin B6, which may help ease nausea.

In planner four, you'll find iron-rich meals. Iron helps your blood move oxygen around your body. It’s essential in pregnancy, as your blood volume increases.
