During pregnancy, some nutrients for pregnant women and fetus in her womb is very important, lack is likely to adversely affect pregnant women and fetus. Therefore, pregnant women to own and fetal interests, nutritional intake is important to note that, where particular attention should be on folic acid, iron, calcium and protein supplement.
A, folic acid
Important vitamin folic acid is related to fetal brain development, fetal brain development is therefore referred to as the \"pillar\".
Expert recommends:
During pregnancy, especially early appropriate folic acid supplementation during pregnancy is necessary because early supplement before pregnancy and a certain amount of folic acid can prevent fetal neural tube defects.
Supplemental ways: apart from drugs to supplement that contains folic acid folic acid can be used in addition to folic acid content is higher in the food, it is widespread among the leafy vegetables, such as vegetables, cabbage, citrus and bananas have more folic acid in fruit, beef liver in animal foods contain more folic acid. Therefore, from the food, volume of vegetables after pregnancy should be increased as far as possible, fruit should select appropriate content of vitamins more varieties.
Second, the iron
An increase in the consumption of iron during pregnancy than non-pregnant. At the same time also faced blood dilution during pregnancy problems, more red protein in the blood caused by falling.
During pregnancy due to early pregnancy pregnant Mommy reaction poor appetite or fussy, improper eating causes insufficient iron intake. If you add less natural causes anaemia, mild anemia can cause symptoms such as dizziness, dazzled, the chest is stuffy. And the consequences of iron deficiency was severe, in the form of two aspects: on the one hand if the continuing decline in hemoglobin, will cause a decline in immunity, infection, fetal malnutrition, growth retardation, and so on. The other hand, severe anaemia may even cause disorder of coagulation during labour, bleeding, and other life-threatening consequences.
Expert recommends:
Pregnant women should eat iron-rich foods: animal offal, such as liver, heart,; red meat such as beef, pigs, rabbits and other; animal blood. These are rich in iron in hemoglobin and Myoglobin iron, easier to attract and benefit from the human body. In plant foods, Sesame, date, black sticky rice, red bean, also contain higher concentrations of iron, but plant sources of iron in the relatively low absorption rate during pregnancy, only as a secondary, you cannot rely on these foods to iron supplementation. Vegetable spinach iron accountant in higher, but it contains oxalic acid inhibits iron absorption, it is not the best choice for iron.
Three, CA
It is well known that calcium is an important component of human bones, teeth, when the fetus was born from a fertilized egg grows to around 50 cm in length, to consume the mother a large amount of calcium. Data proves that need extra calcium during pregnancy is about 30g, in which fetal 27.4g, 1g of the placenta, maternal 1g.
Chinese nutrition society recommended dietary calcium supply in standards: pregnant and 4-6 months 1000mg daily, 7-9 months gestation 1500mg per day.
Generally, mild calcium deficiency may cause pregnant Mummy leg cramp, numbness of limbs, insomnia and other symptoms. Serious affects the skeletal development of the baby, causing intracranial, rickets, a bone Dysplasia, or even abnormal symptoms.
Expert recommends:
Most pregnant women should eat more foods rich in calcium, contains more calcium such as milk products, and the absorption rate is best, in addition to the lactose intolerant people, pregnant Mummy should drink milk every day, or eat yogurt, milk, cheese.
Other foods, such as soy, seafood, some dried fruit may have more calcium, although absorption has no milk is good, but often eat some calcium supplements also has benefits. Bones and bone soup, calcium is in the form of hydroxyl phosphate exist, human body absorption rate is very low and benefits of calcium supplementation is not too great.
Four, protein
Protein is an important components that make up the baby\'s body. Pregnant women living in the city, unless the vegetarians, and people who do not love to eat eggs, milk, soy, or poor appetite, pregnancy of prospective mothers reaction violent, of normal pregnant women can eat proteins every day. Especially in early pregnancy the baby is still small, the mother does not significantly increase demand for protein, so it does not require special supplement.
Expert recommends:
1, to the third trimester, you can increase the 25 grams of protein every day to meet the needs of fetal development.
2 protein is a complete protein, milk, eggs, most easily absorbed by the body.
3, fish, poultry and other meat dishes is a high quality protein in the protein, protein in dry beans and bean products are also of high quality protein from plant sources, finally is grain cereals, vegetable plants in protein.
Five other vitamins and trace elements
Not all of the vitamins and trace elements are not must fill. Although, during pregnancy, the need for vitamins and trace elements in pregnant women has increased, but the increase is relatively less mentioned several. In addition, many vitamin and trace element widely present in the food, drink, so unless there is a lack of symptoms, or some complications of patients with special needs, generally without special supplement, as long as the reasonable balance of diet, not fussy, not 2 food, most of us can be in the amount of food required.
Thus, at the time of vitamins and trace elements in pregnant women should pay attention to three issues:
1, the needs of various nutrients during pregnancy has increased more or less than usual, to healthy growth of the baby, pregnant Mummy should focus on learning in nutritional knowledge and dietary supplement nutrition.
2, not just seek to, certain vitamin overdose may cause fetal malformation, abortion and other undesirable consequences.
3, if you want to add vitamins, calcium or any drug, under the best doctor recommended supplement, don\'t own dosing.
