You can eat sweet potatoes properly in the third trimester of pregnancy, which is beneficial to both pregnant women and fetuses. In the third trimester of pregnancy, because the uterus is gradually enlarged, it will cause certain oppression on the inferior vena cava, and it will easily lead to constipation. Sweet potatoes are rich in crude fiber, and eating them properly can play a role in relaxing bowels and preventing and effectively relieving constipation during pregnancy. Sweet potato also has a high sugar content, which can provide energy for pregnant women and fetuses. But sweet potato is easy to produce gas, so don't eat cold sweet potato, and avoid eating too much, otherwise it may lead to abdominal pain, bloating and other symptoms.

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.
