Pregnancy guidance
Safe with precautionsItalian bread is safe to include in a balanced prenatal diet as an easy-to-digest carbohydrate. Commercial loaves are fortified with folic acid and iron, helping meet higher maternal red blood cell requirements. The USDA advises choosing whole grain alternatives whenever possible to obtain more fiber. Toasting your slices and pairing them with olive oil and tomato slices enhances both flavor and antioxidant intake.
