Don’t increase calories during the first trimester, and consume the same amount as usual. It is very important during this period to consume high-quality protein and calcium and other nutrients.

1. Adequate intake of high-quality nutrition: Expectant mothers must consume 150 calories more than the 2,000 calories required by adult women per day. The extra calories are equivalent to half a bowl of rice; the important thing is that the nutrients in the food should be balanced, so that it is an excellent diet. Protein intake needs to be increased to 75 grams, and it must be taken carefully every day. Protein must be taken in from early to late pregnancy, because the development of the fetus, placenta, uterus, breasts, etc. requires a large amount of protein. If you are a vegetarian, you must find a way to supplement it.

2. Nutritional countermeasures to relieve morning sickness: When morning sickness begins, digestion becomes poor. You can eat foods that can arouse appetite, but do not eat too much at one time. Small meals more often are better. Morning sickness will be more severe especially before getting up in the morning or when you are on an empty stomach, so do not have an empty stomach and eat some simple biscuits or toast. If you are afraid of smelling food and are afraid to go near it, cold food will have less smell than hot food and will be easier to eat. Mainly light and sour foods, such as cold tofu, cold noodles, jelly, salad, etc., can be eaten without burden even if morning sickness is severe. If you drink too much water, your gastrointestinal function will weaken and morning sickness will be more severe, so it is best to drink a small amount of ice water or use a little ice to quench your thirst.
