1. Italian Carrot
Good for your digestive system
Your intestines may suffer from all that is
happening during pregnancy, as in their new arrangement, they are
pushed up and toward the sides as the uterus grows. The parsley juice
used in this recipe is rich in beta-carotene and vitamins A and C,
which are good for repairing any damage that has been done to your
digestive system. In addition, carrots promote the healing of the
intestine membranes.

2. Ginger Carrot Apple
Good for morning sickness
The ginger used in this recipe contains
compounds called ginerols, which act like anti-nausea medications and
help block serotonin receptors in the stomach. Chances are, a drink
that helps alleviate morning sickness will come in handy at some point
during your pregnancy, probably within the first trimester when most
women suffer from nausea and stomach pain.

3. Rise and Shine
Good for your digestive system
Heartburn and indigestion may seem to pop up
out of nowhere during pregnancy, due to an increase in sensitivity to
spicy or common irritating foods or acids that are backed up into the
esophagus because your uterus is enlarging and displacing the stomach.
Fortunately, the pineapple used in this juice can help you feel better
fast by providing bromelain, an enzyme that helps assist protein
digestion and acid reflux.
YIELDS: 11⁄2 CUPS
1 cup pineapple
1 peach, pitted
1 mango, pitted
1 banana
Juice pineapple, peach, and mango. Add banana to juice and mix well before serving.
