In daily life, pregnant women should eat less seafood, especially shellfish and crabs. Not only are bacteria easy to exceed the standard, but they are also very cold. Pregnant women tend to have contractions after eating, which may even lead to miscarriage. Moreover, some marine fish may contain more heavy metals such as lead and mercury, which will affect the brain and nerve development of the fetus.
Pay attention to the diet in the second trimester:
1, the diet should be rich in calcium.
Calcium is an important component to form bones and teeth, help muscle contraction and maintain blood function, and it needs to be taken in large quantities in the second trimester. Sardines and dried fish are important sources of calcium, but choose foods with less salt. Dairy products, green vegetables, eggs, almonds and sesame seeds are all rich in calcium. High calcium food can improve the absorption rate if it is eaten with beef, pork and chicken.
2. Adequate iron intake
Iron intake can prevent anemia. Foods rich in iron include red meat and animal liver. If iron food is taken together with vitamin C, the absorption rate will be higher, because vitamin C can promote the body's absorption of iron. On the contrary, black tea, coffee and other drinks contain caffeine, which will hinder the absorption of iron in the body. Pregnant mommy can't drink these drinks before eating 1 hour.
