Lily Nichol’s “Real Food for Pregnancy” is excellent! Really harps on protein intake in pregnancy (and this can help avoid preeclampsia - can look up Dr. Brewer’s pregnancy diet).

I love beet juice for iron

I ate multigrain cheerios with oat milk, blueberries, bananas in the first trimester or a piece of toast with vegan butter or pean butter and jam because I only wanted plain foods. I would eat white rice and pasta with limited seasonings. I had insanely low pressure. The phlebotomist couldn’t believe it and retook it without even squeezing my arm so it wasn’t as low. Probably helps that I’ve been vegan for 7 years and wasn’t drinking coffee in the first trimester. Since then I’ve still had toast in the morning but started eating oatmeal with fruit and brown sugar and smoothies. My blood pressure is a little bit more “normal” because I’m near the end of pregnancy. I don’t have gestational diabetes and I’m not anemic and haven’t gained much if any fat. I’ve been very sedentary throughout pregnancy because I was commuting and sitting at work but I’m going to start walking everyday now that I’m off

If you're vegan be sure you're getting you b-vitamins!! Glad your pregnancy is going well
