Second-trimester nutrition
Often the most comfortable phase for eating: growth accelerates, weight gain steadies, and activity can increase — ACOG-aligned priorities.

Characteristics
Nausea often eases; appetite returns. Fetal growth speeds up — nutrient quality matters more than “eating for two” in volume.
Priorities
- Balanced plates: starch + protein + vegetables.
- Omega-3 from low-mercury cooked fish.
- Calcium and continued folate/iron as prescribed.
Weight gain
Track trends with your clinician against pre-pregnancy BMI ranges.
Activity
Walking, prenatal yoga, or swimming if approved supports metabolism and mood.
