Many mothers will listen to their elders after they become pregnant: "You are pregnant now, but you need to eat more and eat more to make your baby grow well." So many sisters tried to eat during pregnancy for fear of insufficient nutrition. Is it necessary to eat like this?
In fact, there is nothing wrong with supplementing during pregnancy, but the science of supplementing is not the same in each stage of pregnancy. You can't just eat special meals. So, how should you eat at each stage of pregnancy?
early pregnancy 0-3 months
is in the 0-3 months of pregnancy, which belongs to the first trimester. This stage is generally a period of severe pregnancy reaction. Many pregnant sisters will experience morning sickness, weakness, and no appetite. The amount of food intake will be reduced accordingly. At this time, for fear that the baby in the stomach is not nutritious, you may be forced to eat various things.
Actually, at this time the embryo has just begun to develop, and it does not need to take in too much nutrients, just to ensure the nutrition needed by pregnant women. Mothers may wish to eat some light and digestible foods to ensure their own nutrition and avoid aggravating pregnancy reactions.
2nd trimester 4-6
2nd trimester, generally refers to the 4-6 months of pregnancy. During this period, the fetus grows faster and needs more nutrition. In this period, the pregnancy reaction will be reduced accordingly and the appetite will be increased. Mothers-to-be can choose to take supplements and take a scientific diet during this period.
The usual diet requires not only eating more fruits and vegetables, but also supplementing lean meat, milk, beans, etc., to ensure a diversified diet, not only to ensure nutrition, but also to supplement vitamins and calcium to prevent deficiency of trace elements.
3rd trimester 7-10
7-10 months, entering the third trimester, this stage most needs to pay attention to nutritional balance, no longer eat big tonic foods, so as to avoid overnutrition, causing the fetus to grow into a "giant baby."
At this stage, pregnant mothers can eat more foods rich in calcium, iron and zinc, such as spinach, cherries and so on. At the same time, pay attention to control the intake of seasonings, such as salt, oil, and pepper. Controlling the intake of seasonings can prevent the occurrence of high blood pressure during pregnancy.
In addition, in the third trimester, you should eat less foods with high sugar content, and control the intake of sugar to avoid high blood sugar and cause diabetes.
In addition to diet, expectant mothers should also supplement folic acid in the early pregnancy to prevent fetal malformations. They should also pay attention to eating foods rich in amino acids to promote the development of the baby's immune system. Of course, there are many things to pay attention to during pregnancy. It is not enough to only pay attention to diet. Taking all aspects into consideration is conducive to the better growth of the baby.
