This month the fetus begins to store glycogen and fat in the liver and subcutaneous. The supply of calories should be ensured, so a large amount of glucose is needed for the rapid growth of the fetus and for the storage of glycogen and fat in the body. At the same time, the diet should not be unrestrained, and weight gain should be limited to less than 350 grams per week. Supplementing unsaturated fatty acids during this period will help the development of the baby's eyes, brain, blood and nervous system. These elements are needed throughout pregnancy, especially in the last three months of pregnancy when the child's brain develops rapidly.
Suitable: In the 8th month of pregnancy, the fetus begins to store glycogen and fat in the liver and subcutaneous. At this time, the supply of calories should be ensured and the intake of staple foods should be increased, such as rice, flour, etc. A certain amount of fatty acids, especially rich linoleic acid, is also needed to meet the needs of brain development.
