Absolutely! This veggie is chock full of good things that you and baby need. Let me warn you – some pregnant mothers find that broccoli gives them heartburn or gas. But you just may find that the benefits far outweigh the possible side-effects.

Broccoli is a good source of calcium, iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and many other vitamins and nutrients. But that’s not all. It is full of photochemical, which fight the carcinogens known to cause cancer. Due to a study done by the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, it is believed that a child born to a mother that eats broccoli during pregnancy has extra help in resisting leukemia and lymphoma in childhood and lung cancer in adulthood.
