Pregnancy is a happy and difficult thing for pregnant mothers. Watching the belly grow bigger day by day, happiness is born; but the body is getting better It's heavy, and it's really not a small burden.
women in the early stages of pregnancy, due to pregnancy reactions, will have a bad appetite, but in the middle and late stages, the growth of the fetus needs more nutrition, naturally 's appetite becomes larger, and even feel hungry from time to time.
Why do pregnant mothers always feel "hungry" during pregnancy?
1. Hormone
During pregnancy, pregnant mothers will increase the secretion of progesterone by , and the secretion of progesterone will affect the leptin that inhibits hunger and promote ghrelin.
Leptin can suppress hunger without supplementing food when hungry; ghrelin can make people feel hungry.
But during pregnancy, these two hormones do not work, naturally pregnant women will often feel hungry.
2. Calorie needs
During pregnancy, for the nutrition of pregnant mother and fetus, it is natural to take in extra calories.
is like in the middle of pregnancy, you need to increase about 15% of calories every day; and in the later stages of pregnancy, you need more.
3. Misconceptions
After pregnancy, some women become uncontrollable about the foods and body they like, and they eat randomly.
A small amount of food intake will become the energy of a healthy diet during pregnancy, but if you eat uncontrollably, it will only affect digestive problems and physical obesity.
Pregnant women feel hungry, is it really because the fetus in the belly is hungry?
When the human body feels hungry, the blood sugar content in the body is often too low, and it will start to feel hungry. At this time, as long as we eat food to increase the blood sugar level, we will naturally feel full. During pregnancy, all the nutrients and energy of the fetus are transmitted through the placenta and extracted from the mother. When the mother's blood sugar content is low, the blood sugar content of the fetus will also decrease. But at this short-term stage, the blood glucose level of is just not enough to provide the fetus's growth and development. As for whether the fetus is hungry, it is impossible to know.
But the only certainty is that if pregnant mothers are hungry for a long time and do not supplement with food, then the child will definitely not get enough energy and nutrition, and will naturally not develop well , and will be thin and small after birth. Yes, not as full as a child with adequate nutrition.
There are two signs of fetal hunger:
1) Fetal movement frequency is too low
Most of the time during pregnancy, the fetus spends in the mother's womb in a sleeping state, especially in the first trimester, almost never what activity.
When the fetus sleeps during the second and third trimesters, there will be relatively less sleep, and there will be more activities in the mother's stomach, and the pregnant mother will naturally feel the fetal movement from time to time.
If the fetus has a low frequency of fetal movement, it is likely to be due to insufficient nutritional intake, which reduces the frequency of activities. At this time, the pregnant mother must read the signal sent by the fetus and supplement food in time.
2) Frequent fetal movements
Sometimes, the baby is hungry and will " furious " and move around in the womb.
At this time, pregnant mothers should not think that the baby is naughty and ignore it. In fact, at this time, it may also be that the fetus is tantrums because they are hungry. Therefore, pregnant mothers need to judge whether the fetus is hungry according to their own feeding time. Still naughty.
Expanded reading: Pregnant women always feel hungry, is it because they are pregnant with a boy?
Many mothers who come here have a big increase in appetite after pregnancy, so they think that they are pregnant with men. Because boys definitely need more nutrition, they will naturally remind pregnant mothers to "eat more".
American researchThe staff has done a study on this and conducted a half-year observation of 244 pregnant women. The study found that:
male babies secrete a hormone during pregnancy, which drives pregnant women to eat a lot. To put it bluntly, the male baby implants and will send a signal to his mother: I am a male baby and need to eat more.
Moreover, the study also found that: pregnant women with male treasure consume more than 10% of calories and protein during pregnancy, so pregnant women must supplement carbohydrates and fats to supplement the balance of energy in the body.
Therefore, these opinions all prove that during pregnancy, male babies need more energy and nutrition than female babies.
However, it does not mean that pregnant mothers who "can eat" during pregnancy are pregnant men. There are also some pregnant women who eat more. It is only because of the needs of the body and the nutrition required for fetal development, whether they can eat or not can not be judged. A basis for fetal sex. Z2z
is written at the end:
, although it is necessary to supplement nutrition in time during pregnancy to prevent the fetus from lacking nutrition, but it cannot be blindly supplemented, and the weight control of cannot be ignored.
Otherwise, overeating, pregnancy disease, fetal size is too large, you will suffer more during delivery.
