    I don't think there is must category with non veg. Try to include protein and fiber in your diet during pregnancy. Its helps a lot.
    If you have low HB count in blood, you can try red meat and liver.
    Fishes might help you to get dhea supplements.
    All the best.

    Check what you are eating. Eat more veg and fruits. Watch calories.

    The time of pregnancy is very risky and this is why one must follow their doctor's instructions, only eating healthy can't help. Along with healthy foods, one also needs to do some easy workouts suggested by doctors.
