Strangely, many expectant mothers feel that their tastes have changed after pregnancy. I used to like some foods that I didn't even think about after pregnancy, and I wasn't particularly interested before pregnancy, but now I like them very much.
This is the case with my best friend Katie. Since she was pregnant, when other expectant mothers vomited and were tortured by pregnancy reaction and didn't want to eat anything, Candy's reaction was very mild. She found that she especially wanted to eat spicy food after vomiting every time.
You know, I didn't eat sweets at all before, but I didn't expect to fall in love with it after I got pregnant. Her husband says that eating spicy food is not good for my health, but she can't stand the softness and hardness of sweets, so she has to take her from time to time to relieve her appetite.
As a candy, I am happy to eat the food I want, but when I think about my baby, I inevitably feel a little guilty. Will eating like this affect the baby's growth and development?
In fact, for the change of taste after pregnancy, my mother believes that many expectant mothers will have this situation, which is actually a normal phenomenon.
However, if the expectant mother is too partial to these two flavors, it is very dangerous to target both the mother and the baby. Let this mother take you to know!
0 1 likes sweets.
There is a folk saying that "sour children are spicy women", which I believe many people have heard of. However, some expectant mothers who like sour taste become particularly fond of sweets after pregnancy.
Sweet food has the function of regulating mood, but if it is eaten in excess, it will lead to excessive weight gain of expectant mothers, and may also make the baby in the belly become a giant baby.
Not only that, expectant mothers may also suffer from gestational diabetes. If this situation continues, expectant mothers are prone to danger during childbirth. For example: dystocia, massive bleeding and so on.
Therefore, Mama Ya reminds expectant mothers that even if they like sweets, they should eat in moderation and occasionally have a mouth addiction!
Like salty food.
As we all know, expectant mothers during pregnancy should have a light diet and rich nutrition. However, some expectant mothers want to eat something salty because of severe pregnancy reaction. For example: pickles, canned meat, barbecue, etc.
After eating these salty foods, expectant mothers will drink a lot of water, which will not only aggravate the problem of frequent urination of expectant mothers, but also cause edema of expectant mothers.
Moreover, if the pregnant expectant mother's daily diet is too salty, it will also lead to an increase in blood pressure, which is prone to danger during childbirth.
How can expectant mothers eat during pregnancy to be nutritious and healthy?
1
Early pregnancy-the diet should be light and delicious.
In the first trimester, about half of expectant mothers will have different degrees of morning sickness.
With the gradual formation of placenta and the enlargement of uterus, due to the changes of endometrium and the influence of hormones, expectant mothers often have nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite after getting up or eating in the morning.
At this stage, mom encourages expectant mothers to eat less and eat more, so as to ensure the intake of carbohydrates, so as to avoid the accumulation of ketone bodies in the blood of the body due to hunger, which has a negative impact on the baby's brain development.
In the choice of food, you can choose some light and palatable foods, or you can add various tastes you like.
Expectant mothers with mild morning sickness will gradually disappear after 12 weeks of pregnancy. For expectant mothers with severe morning sickness, Mama Ya suggested that they should seek medical advice in time.

The second trimester-the key period of nutritional supplement
The second trimester refers to the period from 13 to 27 weeks of pregnancy. This period is a critical period for supplementing nutrition, and it is also a stage for the baby's rapid growth and development, and the demand for various nutrients will increase accordingly.
Therefore, expectant mothers in the second trimester need to supplement more protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.
During this period, while ensuring the intake of calcium, phosphorus, iron, iodine, protein and vitamins, we should also appropriately increase foods containing dietary fiber such as coarse grains to promote intestinal peristalsis.

Third trimester-balanced nutrition and moderate weight gain
The third trimester refers to the 28th week of pregnancy and delivery, which is also the fastest growing stage of the baby. During this period, the metabolism and tissue growth of expectant mothers will also reach the peak.
Nutritional supplement in the third trimester should still be based on the principle of balanced nutrition, and the choice of food should be based on small quantity, high quality and variety.
Expectant mothers can increase the amount of food rich in protein, inorganic salts and vitamins. But the calories should not be increased too much, so as not to gain too much weight and make delivery more difficult.
Moreover, expectant mothers in the third trimester will lose their appetite because their stomachs are oppressed by the uterus. Therefore, it is recommended to choose foods that are easy to digest and eat less and more meals.
At this stage, expectant mothers are also prone to anemia and calcium deficiency, so special attention should be paid to the intake of calcium and iron.
At the same time, don't eat fruits with high water content and eat too much salt to avoid edema. Although expectant mothers don't need to completely avoid eating after pregnancy, they also need to pay more attention to their diet.
It is best to give priority to light cooking and eat less fried, pickled and grilled food. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, pay attention to balanced nutrition and keep a good mood.
