6 major suggestions for diet during pregnancy

In my outpatient clinic, women who often encounter women who eat, drink and play before pregnancy. Once I am pregnant, I am particularly cautious and ask the doctor the most: "I am pregnant, which should be eaten? What should not eat?"

Before answering this question, we should first know how women and non -pregnancy women during pregnancy are different for energy and nutrition.

Nutritional nutrition during pregnancy is very different!

The nutrients required by the human body are mainly composed of three major nutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fat) and vitamin, minerals, dietary fiber, etc.

In the early stages of pregnancy, the demand for energy and nutrients is not much different from non -pregnancy. How to eat or eat.

From the beginning of pregnancy, the daily energy needs to be increased by 200kcal on the original basis.

At this time, the energy ratio of nutrients is not much different from pre -pregnancy, but the amount has increased:

Protein accounts for 25%to 30%of the total energy, and increases 15g daily, mainly from animal foods, such as eggs, poultry, lean meat and dairy products, etc.;

Carbohydrates account for 50%to 60%of the total energy, an increase of 36g daily;

Fat accounts for 25%to 30%of the total energy. Among them, long -chain unsaturated fatty acids have a certain benefit for the development of the fetus's brain and retinal development, so pregnant mothers should eat deep -sea fish and walnuts appropriately.

However, pregnant mothers must pay attention to the amount of fat eating. If too much intake can easily cause pregnancy weight to grow too fast, and even cause pregnancy complications.

In addition, the intake of these substances needs to be increased throughout pregnancy:

Vitamin: regulate body metabolism and maintain a variety of physiological functions, especially in the early days of embryonic development, the risk of fetal malformation may be increased;

Inorganic salts and trace elements: inorganic salts such as calcium, magnesium, trace elements such as iron, zinc, iodine, etc. are all substances necessary for fetal growth and development;

Dietary fiber: Although dietary fiber is not absorbed by the human body, it can reduce the absorption of sugar and fat and alleviate the elevated blood sugar and improve constipation during pregnancy.

Do I need to make up these foods during pregnancy?

Well, after understanding the above knowledge, we will answer them one by one, which foods should be eaten and which should not be eaten.

1

After pregnancy, do I need to eat sea cucumber and bird's nest? Did you eat the skin of bird's nest and children whitening?

Answer: From the perspective of nutrition, high -level nutritional products such as bird's nest and sea cucumber do not have so much nutrition, and it will not bring extra benefits to the fetus.

Of course, if your family has money, you feel psychologically comfortable, and I do n’t oppose it. If you want to eat it.

2

Do you need to supplement 22 carbonic acid (DHA) during pregnancy?

Answer: This question is really difficult to answer. Because the current research results are not consistent, there are no routines to take DHA during the obstetrics and pediatric guidelines of various countries.

Some studies have found that supplementing DHA during pregnancy and infants is beneficial to the development of children's brain and cognition, but some studies have not found any benefits to additional DHA. Please note that here is an additional DHA problem.

If you eat more deep -sea fish in your daily diet, it is more recommended.

Some expectant mothers think that supplementing DHA will improve the child's IQ.

In fact, there are many reasons that affect IQ, the most important thing is inheritance, including environmental, nutrition and acquired education. From this perspective, it is not reliable to add DHA to make your baby smarter.

Of course, some expectant mothers are worried that adding DHA will make the baby's head larger.

There is no evidence that DHA can affect the baby's brain capacity and skull development. Therefore, DHA's statement of becoming bigger and bigger is also unscientific.

Therefore, my attitude towards pregnant women who want to supplement DHA is: not opposed, not recommended.

3

Do I need to replenish calcium during pregnancy?

Answer: Need. On the one hand, the calcium intake during pregnancy meets the needs of expectant mothers, and on the other hand, to meet the needs of fetal bones and teeth.

The main source of calcium is milk and dairy products. In addition, shrimp skin, kelp, etc.

Pregnant women with small dairy products during pregnancy, we recommend adding an additional 500 ~ 1000mg of calcium.

4

Do I need to replenish iron during pregnancy?

Answer: See the situation. If the expectant mother does not have iron deficiency anemia, it is generally only necessary to supplement.

The main food sources include animal liver, beef, blood tofu, black fungus and sesame sauce.

In particular, it is necessary to point out that animal food hemoglobin is better absorbed, and eating more spinach does not make good iron supplement. In the middle and late pregnancy, iron deficiency anemia is more common. At this time, iron supplements can be supplemented under the guidance of a doctor.

5

Being pregnant, can tea and coffee drink?

Answer: The main ingredients of tea and coffee are caffeine.

If you just drink lighter green tea and flower tea, the problem is not big. Similarly, it is also possible to drink 1 cup of coffee a day.

It is not recommended to drink milk tea during pregnancy. The ingredients of milk tea are mainly sugar+fat+caffeine, and the protein content inside is small (milk tea is not milk+tea).

Therefore, milk tea can be regarded as "junk food". Occasionally drink it, it is okay to drink it, it is not recommended for long -term drinking.

6

Will eating hairy crabs during pregnancy will cause the baby to speak much more after birth? Also, can raw fish slices be eaten?

Answer: Eating hairy crabs causes babies to drool, just like some people say that eating soy sauce skin will be dark, there is no scientific basis.It is okay to eat hairy crabs during pregnancy. It is okay to eat half to one.

Shengyu slices can also be eaten, which is to ensure freshness and food safety.

Summarize

The principles of diet during pregnancy: appropriate amount, equilibrium, and diversification.

Everyone's situation is different. Some people have a good appetite, and some people cannot eat throughout the pregnancy.

In general, there is not much taboos to eat during pregnancy. You can eat it before pregnancy, and you can eat it when you are pregnant, but you need to be restrained.

In addition, don't feel pregnant, you can eat two people alone.

If you do not increase, it is difficult to control during pregnancy, and even diabetes and pregnancy complications will even occur.
