Chicken can be eaten at any stage after pregnancy. It is best for pregnant women to choose black-bone chicken because it has higher nutritional value. When choosing chicken, it is best to choose fresh free-range chickens and avoid eating common broilers in the market, because most broilers will be fed with a lot of growth-promoting hormones, and excessive consumption of this broiler will affect the development of the fetus.
Precautions in the third trimester:
In the third trimester, expectant mothers enter the final sprint stage, so it is particularly important for mothers to store nutrition. A safe, healthy and reasonable diet is a necessary prerequisite for a healthy birth of a fetus. Combined with the nutritional characteristics of the third trimester, we should make corresponding adjustments on the basis of the second trimester diet.
1. Diversified dietary requirements: In the second trimester, expectant mothers not only need to supplement calories, but also pay attention to the supplementation of high-quality nutrients such as protein, clams, calcium and vitamins. They can adopt a diet of eating less and eating more meals, which can be increased to more than 5 meals a day. Never take a lot of supplements to avoid obesity and macrosomia (expectant mothers should not gain more than 15 kilograms during pregnancy).
2. Supplement sufficient calcium and iron to help the teeth and bones of the fetus calcify well and prevent the anemia of expectant mothers. You can eat more kelp, laver, dried shrimp, sesame, animal liver, eggs and fish.
3. Increase the intake of plant protein, such as beans and bean products.
4. Reduce the intake of foods with high sugar content, such as fruits, sugar, honey, etc., so as to avoid the fetus growing too big and affecting the smooth delivery.
5. Eat more foods with high nutritional value and small size, such as animal food; Eat less foods with low nutritional value and large volume, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.
