What to eat in the second month of pregnancy?
The second month of pregnancy is a critical period for the formation of fetal organs. The brain begins to develop and needs adequate nutrition supply, otherwise it will easily lead to miscarriage, stillbirth and fetal malformation. At this time, besides folic acid and protein, calcium and vitamin D should be supplemented.
1, protein. The daily supply is about 80 grams. Within two months of pregnancy, we don't need to deliberately pursue a certain amount of protein intake, but we should pay attention to ensuring the quality. Eat more if you want to eat today, eat less if you don't want to eat tomorrow, or don't eat at all, just let nature take its course.
2. Carbohydrates and fats. After two months of pregnancy, if you really don't want to eat fatty food, you don't have to force yourself. The human body can use its own stored fat. In addition, beans, eggs and milk can also be supplemented with a small amount of fat. However, foods rich in starch might as well eat more to provide the necessary energy.
3, vitamins. Vitamins are essential nutrients for the human body and the growth and development of the fetus, especially folic acid, B vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin A, which are necessary supplements in this period.
4. Water and inorganic salts. It is very important to pay attention to hydrating and inorganic salts for two months of pregnancy, especially for people with severe early pregnancy reaction, because severe vomiting can easily cause imbalance of water and salt metabolism in human body.
What can't you eat at the beginning of pregnancy
After pregnancy, mothers are cautious about their diet, not only to maintain rich nutrition, but also to avoid eating some foods that are not conducive to their own health and that of their babies. What not to eat in the early pregnancy is what every expectant mother wants to know.
1, aloe: You should eat aloe carefully in the early pregnancy. This is because the aloe-emodin produced by the decomposition of aloe in the body has a strong stimulating effect on intestinal mucosa, so if you take too much aloe at one time, it may cause adverse reactions in the digestive tract, such as nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and even bloody stool. In severe cases, it may also cause kidney function damage. Aloe vera can also make the organs in female pelvis hyperemia, and promote the movement of uterus. Eating aloe vera in the early pregnancy is easy to cause abdominal pain, increased bleeding and even the risk of miscarriage. In addition, aloe vera may also cause skin allergic reaction when used externally, causing discomfort such as redness, itching and pain. Therefore, pregnant women should eat aloe carefully at the beginning of pregnancy.
2, crabs: pregnant women should not eat or eat less crabs. Crabs are delicious, but they are cold. Eating too much at a time will also have adverse effects on the health. Pregnant women should eat crabs in moderation. It is recommended that pregnant women in the first trimester try not to eat crabs; If you are pregnant in the middle and late stages, it is best not to eat, even if you eat, you should eat less, and you should not eat crab feet.
3, glutinous rice: pregnant women should eat glutinous rice according to their physical condition. In some medical literature, the possible adverse effects of coix seed on pregnant women are recorded: in Practical Chinese Medicine, coix seed is listed as something that is forbidden to eat and hurt the fetus; Herbal Classic Shu lists it as "forbidden for pregnant women"; "Treatise on Seasonal Diseases" records that "Flos Sophorae Immaturus in clear soup, ginger and cinnamon for removing cold, and rice kernel for promoting diuresis ... are all products that cause miscarriage, and are most likely to be thrown by mistake, so doctors must be disrespectful". Although there are no reported cases of abortion caused by pregnant women eating coix seed, it is better for pregnant women to eat coix seed in moderation after consulting doctors for insurance reasons.
