Precautions for diet in the third trimester:
In the third trimester, expectant mothers enter the final sprint stage, so it is particularly important for mothers to store nutrients. 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 late pregnancy, expectant mothers should not only supplement calories, but also pay attention to the supplement 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 large amount of supplements to avoid obesity and macrosomia (expectant mothers should not gain more than15kg during pregnancy).
2, add enough calcium and iron to help the fetus' teeth and bones calcify well and prevent the expectant mother's anemia. You can eat more kelp, seaweed, dried shrimp, sesame, animal liver, eggs, fish and so on.
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.
