Are you vegan? If not, then eggs, cake, brownies. You need to probably eat a bunch of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes too. You need a bunch of calories, especially at the end, then breastfeeding you need even more. You might want to consider eating a little egg if you are a vegan. Protein and calories and iron.

Eat fish for Omega 3, and also try to eat a lot of carrots for beta carotine, and also have lots of celery. It's good.

Fresh herbs, such as rosemary and thyme are high in iron too. So is blackstrap molasses and artichokes. You might try some nutritional yeast (not bakers or brewers yeast) which is very high in all of the B vitamins, including B12 (nutritional yeast is what is fed to cows to up their B12 production, since cows and humans dont produce it naturally) Good sources of protein would be quinoa and millet for grains, almond and rice milk, cashews, lentils, pulses and legumes. I would assume your doc put you on prenatals as well. Drink lots of fresh, quality orange juice for upping your folic acid intake, which helps prevent birth defects. Congratulations, and best wishes for a healthy baby! You can juice lots of leafy greens and veggies to get good sources of iron. Fresh herbs, such as rosemary and thyme are high in iron too.

Contrary to popular belief, a vegetarian diet that is varied (i.e. includes plenty of leafy greens, and soy products) will have enough iron and protein for a pregnant woman. Keep an open discussion with your doctor, which is probably the best thing overall. Folic Acid is essential, and tougher to get (along with the other B-vitamins) in a vegetarian diet.
