Deficiency of Nutrients decreases Brain & body functioning of your Child
Many pregnant and breast-feeding women are deficient in iodine and should take a daily supplement containing iodide, according to a leading group of pediatricians.
Iodine, generally obtained from iodized salt, produces thyroid hormone, an essential component for normal brain development in the developing baby.
But as consumption of processed foods has increased, so has iodine deficiency because the salt in processed foods is not iodized, according to a policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics
Currently, only about 15 percent of pregnant and breast-feeding women take supplements containing iodide, the researchers said. Supplemental iodine is usually in the form of potassium iodide or sodium iodide, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Severe iodine deficiency is associated with stunted physical and mental growth, and even marginal iodine deficiency can decrease brain functioning, the report said.
Pregnant and breast-feeding women should take a supplement that includes at least 150 micrograms of iodide, and use iodized table salt, the academy said. Combined intake from food and supplements should be 290 to 1,100 micrograms a day. Potassium iodide is the preferred form, the doctors said.
Besides boosting brain development, iodine also appears to help protect babies from certain environmental harms. You will get required Iodine in Your Healthy food and Save your child from Brain and Thyroid Problems.
Not only Iodine, Zinc, Iron etc..needed to the Baby to develop all parts and Functioning. In my future articles I will give U the required data according to the age of the child. All Body development and Brain functioning the amount of nutrients required increases daily. The mother should take care of her health and baby health 
My advise
1.....   It’s always important to eat a balanced diet — and it’s even more important when you’re pregnant because what you eat is the main source of nutrients for your baby. However, many women don’t get enough iron, folate, calcium, vitamin D, or protein. So when you are pregnant, it is important for you to increase the amounts of foods you eat with these nutrients
2...  Most women can meet their increased needs with a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), you should try to eat a variety of foods from these basic food groups. If you do, you are likely to get all the nutrients you need for a healthy pregnancy.
3...  Weight gain is important during your pregnancy and something you and your doctor will monitor for nine months until you give birth.  However, gaining too much or too little weight can contribute to problems during your pregnancy for both you and your baby.
4...  Recent recommendations by the Institute of Medicine for pregnancy weight gain begin your pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI).
BMI categoryWeight gain goal: singleWeight gain goal: twins
BMI < 18.5: underweight28-40 lbsNot enough data

Adapted from IOM guidelines, 2009
5...  When you take healthy food during your pregnancy it helps you after delivery to feed your child.
