Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedWhole-wheat bread is strongly recommended as a staple grain choice during pregnancy. It provides high levels of dietary fiber, zinc, and iron to prevent gestational constipation and support maternal plasma expansion. The USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend making at least half of your daily grain choices 100 percent whole grain. Use two slices for a hearty lunch sandwich packed with cooked lean protein and fresh, washed vegetables.
