By the fourth month, the situation of pregnant women has been greatly improved, the discomfort in the first trimester has basically disappeared, and the risk of miscarriage has become very small, but we still can't be careless in diet and nutrition.

At this time, we should increase the intake of various nutrients, try our best to meet the needs of rapid fetal growth and maternal nutrition storage, and avoid the impact of malnutrition or lack on fetal growth and maternal health.

Increase the intake of staple food: you should choose standard rice and flour and eat them with some miscellaneous grains, such as millet, corn and oatmeal. Generally speaking, the daily intake of staple food in the second trimester should be between 400 and 500 grams, which is of great significance to ensure the heat supply and save protein.

Increase animal food: The high-quality protein provided by animal food is the material basis for fetal growth and tissue growth of pregnant women. In addition, protein quality provided by beans and bean products is similar to protein quality provided by animal food. For families with limited economic conditions, beans and their products can be properly selected to meet the needs of the body. However, the protein provided by animal foods should account for more than 1/3 of the total protein.

Because pregnant women have to bear the nutritional needs of two people, they need more nutrition than usual, and try to avoid over-stimulated foods, such as peppers and garlic. It is best to drink a cup of boiled water every morning. In addition, to avoid excessive fat and overeating, we must ensure the intake of iron and vitamins.
