Nothing: No food will help you specifically get pregnant. But your health is important in being able to carry a fetus to term and stay healthy during the pregnancy and after. Your nutrition (mom & dad) is also important to reduce birth defects and have a healthy baby. Eat lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, and beans. Drastically reduce dairy and meat including poultry. Also, folate (folic acid) supplements.
