Are there any specific dietary recommendations for women with high-risk pregnancies?

This really depends on what is the exact diagnosis or condition that makes one to be at risk. But essentially, a healthy balanced diet is what everyone needs, especially high risk pregnant mothers. The specific dietary advice is folic acid supplementation, of 5mg once a day, at least 4 weeks before pregnancy if you are high risk while most mothers only need 400mcg of folic acid. The second is 1000 Iu of Vitamin D3 supplements. Certain mothers need specific dietary requirements and it is best they speak to their Obstetrician on what is more specific to their needs, such as those who are anemic, have nutritional deficiencies, have had a bariatric surgery or those who are diabetic.
