The doctor told Aunt Song that women should supplement folic acid after pregnancy, which is known to most people. Because folic acid is related to fetal nerve development and has the function of preventing neural tube malformation, the human body cannot produce it by itself, so it should be supplemented by diet or folic acid tablets. However, several nutrients are also very important and easily overlooked by everyone. Aunt Song quickly asked what nutrients it was. Go home and buy a wife to eat. The doctor said that many nutrients can be supplemented in the usual diet without extra purchase.
In the first three months of pregnancy, these nutrients are as important as folic acid in addition to folic acid supplementation.
The first is iron, which plays an important role in women's pregnancy, almost flush with folic acid, because whether iron is sufficient or not is related to the amount of hemoglobin. If the human body is short of iron, the amount of hemoglobin will decrease, and the oxygen and nutrition it carries will also decrease. Iron deficiency during pregnancy is a very serious thing. Expectant mothers will feel dizzy, tired and sleepy, which will also affect the fetus. Anemia will appear in the mother's body, which will also affect the brain development after birth.
Aunt Song asked the doctor what foods can replenish blood? Is it okay to eat pig blood? The doctor replied that pig blood can be supplemented. In addition, animal liver, lean meat, seafood and jujube all have the effect of enriching blood. Some women have severe morning sickness in the first three months, have no appetite, do not like to eat meat dishes, and are prone to iron deficiency after a long time. Pay attention to this problem. Aunt Song said that she would definitely read more food recipes and cook for her daughter-in-law, which greatly increased her appetite.
The second is iodine. You may know a lot about thyroid, but it is actually very helpful to the intellectual development of the fetus. If children lack iodine during their growth and development, it is likely to lead to a 20% decline in IQ. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement iodine properly. In addition, iodine will affect the thyroid function, and when the thyroid function is low, the neural development of the fetus will become slow.
The doctor reminded Aunt Song that pregnant women should supplement 200 micrograms of iodine every day and eat kelp, seaweed and marine fish properly for three meals. Aunt Song asked, do you want to buy special iodized salt? The doctor replied, no, eating too much iodine may lead to goiter, and the daily needs can be met by dietary supplement without extra addition.
The third is vitamin B6 and vitamin C. Women have different degrees of morning sickness in the first three months, and it is easy to bleed when brushing their teeth. At this time, pregnant women can eat some foods rich in vitamins to help them reduce morning sickness and reduce vitamin loss. Aunt Song said that I had heard of vitamins. There are vitamins in vegetables and fruits, but how can I give them to my daughter-in-law? The doctor said that vitamins are easy to lose at high temperature, so avoid frying and don't cook for too long. Some foods can be eaten raw directly, or boiled and cold-mixed, such as lettuce, spinach, lettuce, purple cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and so on.
Aunt Song suddenly thought of a question, can you squeeze vegetables or fruits into juice to drink? Doctors suggest that if pregnant women can accept the taste of vegetable juice, it is no problem to drink it properly, such as tomato juice and carrot juice, but it is best to drink less juice. Because the nutritional composition structure of fruit juice is destroyed, the dietary fiber content is reduced and the sugar concentration is increased. Regular drinking may make you fat or affect your blood sugar.
After listening to the doctor's words, Aunt Song felt that she understood a lot in her heart, and then asked the doctor what other matters should be paid attention to besides diet in the first three months.
Pre-pregnancy 14 weeks belongs to the first trimester. At this stage, several tests are very important, such as B-ultrasound, nt and screening at the beginning of Tang Dynasty. The general doctor will make an appointment for the next examination after each examination, as long as he comes on time. If the pregnant mother is tired, sleepy and listless in the first three months, it is normal not to worry too much. Pay attention to rest, don't be angry and tired. During this period, pregnant women have just changed a new identity, which is easy to be emotionally unstable, nervous and anxious. Family members should be accompanied and comforted. If you find abnormal bleeding and abdominal pain, you should seek medical advice promptly.
Pregnancy is an important stage in a woman's life. We should not only pay attention to protecting her body, but also pay attention to supplementing nutrition to provide favorable conditions for the growth and development of the fetus. Besides folic acid, don't forget the above elements.
