Second week is a turning point in the development of your baby. So, as a pregnant mother, you should now begin to focus on changing your lifestyle and dietary habits. At the beginning of second week, you may ovulate.

If your menstrual cycle is of 28 days, then 15th day will be the beginning of this week. When this happens an egg erupts from its follicle and it is swept from your ovary into fallopian tube. During the next 24 hours, that egg will be fertilized if one (or more) sperm manages to penetrate it.

No nutrient is more vital than folate, in the first six weeks of pregnancy. The synthetic form of folate is folic acid. This is a B vitamin that helps reduce the risk of neural-tube defects. Beans, legumes, whole grains, fish, dark green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits and juices, are some good sources of this vitamin. But folate is not as well absorbed as folic acid from foods, so it is better to take prenatal vitamin or folic acid supplement.

You should take calcium rich diet. Low-fat dairy products, dark green vegetables, fortified orange juice and soy products are some of the good sources of calcium. You can include these foods into your diet.
