- The Basics
Why protein matters for you and your baby
Your body is building new cells every single day of pregnancy — and protein is the
material it builds with.
Baby's growth
Protein is a core building block for your baby's organs, muscles, and brain, especially through the second and third trimesters.
Rising blood volume
Blood volume increases by roughly 40-50% during pregnancy — and building that extra blood also calls for protein.
Placenta and tissue
Protein acts as a key building block for forming the placenta and for the growth of breast tissue.
Your own strength
It also helps reduce fatigue, keep your muscles strong, and supports recovery after delivery.
- Trimester by trimester
Your needs grow, gradually
As your baby grows, your body’s protein needs grow right along with it.
~51g
per day
~71g
per day
~71-100g
per day
First trimester
Needs rise gently as the foundation for your pregnancy is being laid.
Second trimester
As your baby grows quickly, protein needs rise noticeably.
Third trimester
The highest need yet — your baby’s weight gain and your body’s preparation both peak here.
These figures are general guidance only — talk to your doctor or dietitian to find the right amount for you.
