Pregnancy guidance
Safe with precautionsFrench and sourdough breads are safe and gentle grain choices during pregnancy. These breads deliver folic acid and iron from fortification, while traditional fermentation in sourdough can aid carbohydrate digestion. The ACOG highlights folic acid as a necessary nutrient to protect against neural tube defects. Top toasted slices with mashed avocado or melted pasteurized cheese for a satisfying, nutrient-rich meal.
