During pregnancy, you can eat more foods that are strong in collagen fibers, such as pig's trotters, as well as more fruits and vegetables high in fiber and foods containing vitamin C, and drink a glass of skim milk every day. In addition, it is also necessary to reduce sugar intake and eat less foods with high pigment content.
