Mama Coco
You’re sure to already have a list of the things you can’t eat when you’re pregnant, but do you know the foods that are really good for you to eat? One of these super foods is chickpeas. Chickpeas are incredible to eat during a pregnancy, with high levels of manganese to help with skeletal development in growing babies and a healthy source of carbohydrates to give you heaps of sustained energy. At Mama Coco cafe, order a chickpea kofta wrap served with zucchini pickle, mint, yoghurt and rocket for a filling and nutritional meal to aid in the development of your little miracle. Another nutrition packed treat is the mushroom multi roll served with spinach, roasted fennel, feta, capsicum and truffle dressing. Ask for them to remove the soft cheese, and this meal with its leafy greens is super high in folate and iron; absolute essentials for the mama-to-be.

These 75-minute classes will be well worth their time, with yoga showing to be beneficial in helping with lower back pain, increasing the strength of your pelvic floor and reducing stress and anxiety.
