After entering the second trimester, the growth and development of the fetus accelerates, and the nutritional needs of pregnant mothers will gradually increase. Fortunately, the appetite of pregnant mothers is also gradually improving, and many pregnant mothers will choose to The purpose of nutritional supplementation at this stage is to make up for the nutritional losses in the previous period, and to store enough nutrients before the appetite becomes worse in the third trimester of pregnancy.

However, we would like to remind pregnant mothers that the more nutrition is not the better, timely, appropriate and balanced nutrition is the best principle for supplementation. It is best to mix meat and vegetables, and match the thickness to keep the pregnant mother in a good nutritional balance.

In order to help pregnant mothers properly supplement their nutrition during the second trimester, today’s theme is “Dietary Guidelines for the Second Trimester.”

1

Pregnant mothers have a high demand for nutrients, so the following five items are added to the dietary guidelines for the general population:

① Supplement folic acid, Eat iron-rich foods regularly, and choose iodized salt

②For those with severe morning sickness, you can eat small meals frequently to ensure that you consume foods containing the necessary amount of carbohydrates

③Appropriate amount during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy Increase the intake of milk, fish, poultry, eggs, and lean meat

④ Moderate physical activity to maintain appropriate weight gain during pregnancy

⑤ No smoking and alcohol, happily give birth to a new life, and actively prepare Breastfeeding.

I hope pregnant mothers can use the above five dietary guidelines flexibly.

Folic acid

Ensure the intake of 400g of various vegetables every day, and more than 1/2 of them are fresh green leafy vegetables, which can provide about 200μg of DFE folic acid.

Iron

Because animal blood, liver and red meat are rich in iron, and the iron contained is heme iron, its bioavailability is high and can be passed through Appropriately increase the intake of these foods to meet the additional need for iron during pregnancy. In the second trimester, adding 20 to 50g of red meat every day can provide 1 to 2.5 mg of iron. Ingesting animal blood and liver 1 to 2 times a week, 20 to 50g each time, can provide 7 to 15 mg of iron, which can basically meet the increase in iron during pregnancy. Nutritional needs.

Iodine element

Pregnant mothers should choose iodized salt. Most foods contain relatively little iodine, including seafood such as kelp (fresh, 100g) and seaweed (dried, 2.5g). , wakame (dried, 0.7g), shellfish (30g), and marine fish (40g) can each provide 110 μg of iodine.

Calcium

Milk is the best food source of calcium. During the second trimester, you need to consume 500g/d of various milks every day. You can choose liquid milk, yogurt, or milk powder. , can be consumed with meals or snacks respectively. When weight gain is rapid during pregnancy, low-fat milk can be used to reduce energy intake. Pay attention to distinguishing milk drinks from milk. Most milk drinks do not contain high amounts of milk and cannot replace milk.

Protein

Pregnant women in the second trimester need to add 15g of protein, 200mg of calcium, and 300kcal of energy every day. On the basis of a balanced diet before pregnancy, an additional 200g of milk can provide 5 to 6g of high-quality protein. , 200 mg of calcium and 70 to 120 kcal of energy, and then adding about 50 g of fish, poultry, eggs, and lean meat, it can provide about 10 g of high-quality protein and 80 to 150 kcal of energy.

Fat

Compared with the same weight of fish and livestock and poultry food, the high-quality protein content provided by fish is almost the same, but the fat and energy contained in fish are significantly less than that of livestock and poultry. . Therefore, when pregnant women gain a lot of weight, they can eat more fish and less livestock and poultry. When eating livestock and poultry, try to remove the skin and visible fat. For livestock meat, beef can be preferred. In addition, fish, especially deep-sea fish such as salmon, herring, anchovies, etc., also contain more n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, among which docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is beneficial to the development of fetal brain and retinal functions. It is best to consume it 2 to 3 times a week.

Finally, the panda mother would also like to emphasize that she must eat a reasonable diet, otherwise it will cause nutritional deficiencies in the pregnant mother, anemia and other diseases, and it will also cause slow fetal development and congenital deficiencies in physical fitness. Don't overdo it, otherwise it will lead to overnutrition in pregnant mothers and cause gestational diabetes, hypertension and other diseases.
