I've been making an effort to eat more leafy greens during pregnancy, like spinach and kale, which are rich in iron and folate. I try to incorporate them into salads, smoothies, and even add them to soups for a nutritional boost. Has anyone else found that eating green veggies has helped with any specific symptoms or issues throughout their pregnancy?

I've also been making an effort to include more leafy greens in my diet during this pregnancy, and I think it's really helped with my energy levels. Since starting to make these greens a bigger part of my meals, I feel like I have way more stamina throughout the day and can handle longer periods without getting as tired. I've also noticed that my body seems to be handling stress better after eating them - I used to get really anxious but since incorporating more spinach, kale, and collard greens into my diet, it seems like my anxiety has been much lower overall.';
