B12 is actually a protein, which activates the aforementioned folate. It can be found in lean meats, fish, eggs and milk products. Some of the benefits include helping to reduce anemia, which is common during pregnancy.And although many women have an aversion to eating meat during the first trimester of pregnancy, once the craving comes back, try to get at least three servings of protein (70 grams) daily.
