Good for fighting infections during pregnancy

If you’re exercising during pregnancy, this is
the perfect juice to help strengthen those recovering muscles. The
turnips, carrots, and watercress found in this recipe are good sources
of vitamin C, which helps to fight off infections. Turnip is a root
vegetable whose flavor varies from sweet to woody. It will keep for a
long time in the refrigerator.

2. Sinus Cleanser

Radishes are roots in the mustard family that
are available year round. Their flavor is somewhat mild but has a
peppery finish. The spiciness of the radish should help clear your
sinus passages without medication, which many providers recommend you
stay away from throughout pregnancy. And, while some spicy foods may
not agree with your sensitive stomach during pregnancy, radishes may
curb nausea in the first trimester by reducing the acid in your stomach.

This juice will be most important for warding

cranberries have compounds called proanthocyanidins that will keep
harmful bacteria from sticking to your bladder.
