This juice has a range of health benefits to both the mother and the fetus. It lowers the mother’s blood pressure and constipation which is common during pregnancy. The juice is also rich in iron which the baby needs for development. However, this juice is very strong and you should only take ¼ to ½ liter each day and dilute it with some water or add carrot juice.

2. Carrot juice

Just like beetroot juice, this juice should not be taken in large amounts. The juice helps deal with digestion problems which are common during the last stages of pregnancy. The juice is also rich in Vitamins A and E which are good for your skin during pregnancy. They also help in boosting the baby’s eyesight.

3. Orange juice

This sweet juice is loaded with nutrients that helps the body resist cold and flu. It also boosts your immunity since it has Zinc and iron. According to research, the juice aids in minimizing the risk of infant allergic diseases and helps in the development of the placenta.
