Pregnant women generally start to supplement zinc and iron around 6 months of pregnancy. Pregnant women eat animal liver twice a week to supplement iron, and drink vitamin-rich fruit directly after eating, which is helpful for iron absorption. To supplement zinc, eat more oysters, lean meat, pork liver, fish, eggs and so on. In addition, soybeans, corn, millet, lentils, potatoes, pumpkins, cabbages, radishes, mushrooms, eggplants, walnuts, pine nuts, oranges and lemons also contain more zinc.
