From embriology, we can learn so many important things related to the development of embrio, fetus system organs. About the development of endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. About the closure of neural tube, formation of the cardiovascular systems, etc.
Nutritional science also very well developed to support the pregnancies, the mother and the baby. For example about the importance of ferrum tablet, about the folic acid to support neural system of the embrio, and so on.
It is expected that if the nutrition could be adequatly comsumed by the mother, and then the mother and also her baby will be healthy.
Many defects could be anticipated not occurs after the baby born.
For example : spina bifida, tetralogy Fallot, anencephaly, and the others.
So I think that it must be important if there are any guidliness corellate about what nutrition must be eaten week per week during pregnancy according to embriology and nutrition science.
I think you already mentioned some of the guidelines, which include ferrum tablet, folic acid etc. More guidelines are usually given by specialist doctors during ante natal according to peculiar conditions of the pregnant woman.
Also, several guidelines are available online.
