Eat foods such as eggs, meat, and vegetables. Pregnant women who wish to supplement vitamin D can drink more milk and consume more vitamin D-rich foods, such as fish, shrimp, eggs, lean meat, beef, walnuts, and almonds, which help increase vitamin D intake. It's also beneficial to spend time outdoors, as sun exposure aids calcium absorption. Drinking soups—especially bone broth and fish soup—can also help with nutrition. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and prevent constipation.
