The nutrition of pregnant women not only ensures the mother's own needs, but also ensures the normal growth and development of the fetus and the good nutritional status of pregnant mothers. It is also a kind of prenatal education. Good nutrition is also very important for protecting the development of the uterus, fetal membranes, umbilical cord and placenta of the fetus, and plays a great role in the mother's ability to resist various diseases and infections, providing a good growth and development environment for the fetus.

Dietary principle

In the early pregnancy, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and anorexia directly affect the intake of nutrition. At this time, the dietary principle is to eat as much as you can, and eat whatever you can.

Relieve anorexia symptoms

Sometimes the symptoms of anorexia may be caused by the smell of food. To alleviate these symptoms, it is necessary to minimize the cooking time of food so that it can't smell when cooking; You can also eat cold food, such as salad, tofu, vegetables and so on.

Intake of liquid food

Constant vomiting can lead to water loss in the body. In order to maintain metabolism and discharge waste in the body, we must try our best to ensure the intake of liquid food, such as milk, soybean milk, vegetables and fruits with high water content.

Supplement of zinc-containing foods

You should eat more zinc-containing foods such as oysters, shellfish, nuts, peanuts and sesame seeds in the first trimester. Folic acid supplementation is beneficial to prevent neural tube defects and promote brain development.

Control weight

Although we should pay attention to strengthening the nutrition of pregnant mothers, we should also pay attention to controlling the weight during pregnancy to avoid obesity. Pregnant women gain 8 ~ 12.5 kg. Beyond the above range, we should try our best to control it, because obesity during pregnancy will cause pregnancy-induced hypertension, diabetes and dystocia. It can also cause fetal macrosomia and intrauterine growth retardation.
