Any doctor, I prefer female, or nurse can help with all those nutrient questions, plus they'll prescribe a prenatal vitamin for you. Protein is very important to you and your growing baby, along with fruit and a lot of vegetables! Drink several glasses or bottles of water. Non fat milk is good, it's fortified. Try to eat a lot of fiber and cut back on sugary and processed foods. Look in the supermarkets for their flier and buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts when they are on sale $1.89 or so a pound. Boil or bake them to have on hand so you don't get too hungry. You'll be gaining about 25 to 30 pounds throughout the course of your pregnancy. Try to walk at least 30 minutes 4 or 5 times a week to keep up your endurance, you'll need it when you deliver! Having a baby is so amazing! Your body is wonderful and amazing! Try to be happy and be good to yourself! There are books at the library and it's free to check them out. There are also videos there to help prepare you. It's a big responsibility bringing another life into this world but it's the most love you'll ever feel. There are free clinics in every town and you should be getting prenatal care where they can give you vitamins and other information! Be good to yourself and good luck with your amazing journey. You should keep a journal, your baby will want to read it one day.
