Spinach is a wonderful choice during pregnancy, mama! It's packed with important nutrients like folate (folic acid), which is crucial for your baby's brain and spinal cord development, and iron, which helps prevent anemia during pregnancy. You can enjoy it raw in salads or smoothies, or cooked in your favorite dishes.
However, it's really important to thoroughly wash all fresh spinach, whether you're eating it raw or cooked, to remove any potential contaminants that could cause foodborne illnesses. Also, while beneficial, aim for moderation, as excessive amounts might have some side effects due to its oxalate content.
Always check with your OB if you have any specific concerns about your diet.
