After pregnancy, Bao Ma will generally consciously adjust her eating habits, avoid eating too much greasy and meat-like food, and eat more fruits, vegetables and coarse grains. But can you really eat fruit willfully during pregnancy? Obviously, you can't. In the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy, eating fruits is different, and some fruits should be eaten carefully.

How much fruit do pregnant women eat every day?

Generally speaking, women with normal weight gain about 12.5 kg during the whole pregnancy. It is necessary to control weight, blood pressure and blood sugar during pregnancy, so there are many things to pay attention to in diet: vegetables can be eaten more, protein can't be overdone, carbohydrates need to be controlled, and fruits can't be eaten too much. Eating too much fruit will not only lead to excessive weight gain, but also adversely affect blood sugar.

According to the recommendation of Women and Children Branch of China Nutrition Society, the daily fruit consumption during pregnancy is 200 ~ 400g. This includes not only fresh fruit, but also fruit juice. In general, it is recommended to eat fruits directly, so as to better absorb cellulose, vitamins and antioxidants in fruits.

Early pregnancy: it is not recommended to eat hot fruit!

After more than 60%-70% of women are pregnant, there will be cases of deficiency of yin and blood and heavier internal heat. Chinese medicine believes that "it should be cool before delivery and warm after delivery". Therefore, in the first 40-50 days of pregnancy, pregnant mommy had better not eat warm or hot fruits, such as litchi and longan, which will easily add to the fire.

In addition, eat less cold fruits such as watermelon, grapefruit and orange in the early pregnancy. Watermelon can induce diuresis, but eating too much can easily lead to diarrhea. In addition, watermelon has a high sugar content, so even in summer, you can't eat more.

Fruits that can be eaten more in the first trimester include: neutral fruits such as apples, peaches, apricots, pineapples and ebony.

Second trimester: all kinds of fruits can be ordered!

In the second trimester, pregnant women's physical condition is stable, so they can choose a variety of fruits according to their personal physique and preferences, and supplement nutrition to solve their cravings.

Pregnant women with cold constitution: You can eat hot fruits such as peach, cherry, longan, litchi, jujube, pomegranate, coconut and durian in moderation.

Pregnant women with hot constitution: you can eat pears, watermelons, bananas, kiwis, persimmons, grapefruit, oranges, oranges, mulberries and other cool fruits in moderation.

But remember, don't eat fruit as a meal. On the one hand, the nutrition is unbalanced, and comprehensive nutrition needs starch, calcium, iron, protein, fat, etc. Not all fruits can provide it. On the other hand, it is easy to affect weight and blood sugar.

Late pregnancy: These fruits will be premature if eaten.

At this time, the fetus is relatively large, and there are some unstable factors. Some fruits, such as hawthorn, are easy to lead to premature birth.

Papaya and so on.

Hawthorn: It has a certain exciting effect on the uterus, which will promote the contraction of the uterus. If pregnant women eat too much, it will easily lead to miscarriage. Not only can you not eat in the third trimester, but also try to eat less in the first trimester.

Papaya: containing female hormones, it is easy to interfere with the hormonal changes in pregnant women, which may lead to abortion, especially green papaya, and pregnant women should completely quit. In Southeast Asian countries, local residents also eat papaya for contraception, which shows that they can't eat papaya during pregnancy.

Aloe vera: At present, some experts have conducted experiments on animals and found that aloe vera can cause abortion for animals. So pregnant mothers try to eat less aloe vera.

In the third trimester, you can eat kiwi fruit and oranges with more vitamins. Eat oranges less. If you eat too much, your mother may have more pigmentation, which is not good for your skin.

What is the best time for pregnant women to eat fruit?

Generally speaking, the correct time for pregnant women to eat fruit is before meals 1 hour and about 2 hours after meals (except persimmons).

First of all, many ingredients in fruit are water-soluble, and eating before meals is beneficial to the absorption of essential nutrients in the body. Secondly, fruit is a low-calorie food. Eating low-calorie food first makes it easier to grasp the total calorie intake in a meal. Third, many fruits themselves are easy to be oxidized and corrupted. Eating fruits first can shorten its stay time in the stomach and reduce the possible adverse effects on the body.

Note: Pregnant women should not eat fruit before going to bed at night, or the full stomach and intestines will affect your sleep. It is most beneficial to eat fruit one hour before meals, and stay one hour after meals.
