Dietary considerations in the first three months of pregnancy:
In the early stage of pregnancy, pregnant women need to pay great attention to their diet, and it is best to take more nutrients beneficial to embryonic development, such as high-quality protein, fatty acids, heat energy, multivitamins and mineral elements. Spicy and irritating food, fried food and some foods that are easy to get angry are best eaten less or not.
1, protein's intake, this period is a period when protein is stored relatively much in the body, of which about 170g remains in the fetus and about 375g remains in the mother's body, which requires pregnant women to increase their dietary protein supply by 25g compared with non-pregnant women, and should consume more animal food and soybean food.
2, essential fatty acids, this period is the peak period of fetal brain cell appreciation, it is necessary to provide enough essential fatty acids such as arachidonic acid to meet the needs of brain development, eating more marine fish can be conducive to the supply of DHA.
3. Calcium and iron intake. More than half of the calcium in the fetus is stored in the third trimester. Pregnant women should take 1500 mg of calcium every day and supplement appropriate amount of vitamin D. During this period, the fetal liver stores iron at a rate of 5 mg per day until it reaches 300-400 mg at birth. Pregnant women should take 28 mg of iron every day, and should take more hemoglobin iron from animal food.
Pregnant women should always eat milk, fish and bean products. It is best to eat fried fish or vinegar crisp and drink sparerib soup. Shrimp skin is rich in calcium, so you can add a little to the soup. The liver and blood of animals have high iron content and high utilization rate, so they should be used frequently.
5, vitamins. Adequate water-soluble vitamins, especially thiamine, are needed in the third trimester. If it is lacking, it will easily cause vomiting and burnout, and the uterine contraction will be weak during delivery, thus delaying the labor process.
6. Heat energy, like the supply in the second trimester, does not need to be supplemented too much. Especially in the last 1 month of the third trimester, the intake of saturated fat and carbohydrates should be properly restricted to avoid the fetus being too large and affecting the delivery.
