Pregnant women who are overweight may lead to high blood pressure or even miscarriage during pregnancy, and diet should be adjusted in time to keep the weight within the normal range.
How should obese pregnant mothers eat?
Reduce the intake of staple foods
During pregnancy, you should eat less staple foods such as rice noodles, and you can use potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkins, chestnuts, lotus flour and other staple foods.
Because the main ingredient of staple foods such as rice noodles is carbohydrates, the so-called sugar substances, when the carbohydrate intake is too much, the excess carbohydrates are converted into fat, resulting in obesity.
Eat more vegetables and control the amount of fruit
Pregnant women in the reduction of staple food intake, often feel hungry, at this time can eat more vegetables and fruits, but to eat more fruits, eat more low-sugar fruits, such as cherries, grapefruit, peaches, etc., can reduce hunger, but also can supplement vitamins and minerals.
Appetite has grown, but be careful to exercise restraint
In the second trimester of pregnancy, pregnant mothers often feel hungry, and unconsciously they will eat a lot of things, and the amount of food will generally increase automatically. In fact, there is no need to deliberately increase at this time, as long as the diet is balanced, the weight will increase steadily.
Some pregnant mothers themselves have a relatively small amount of food, and the growth during pregnancy is not very large, but this is not necessarily insufficient nutrition. At every obstetric examination, the fetal baby is developing normally, the pregnant mother does not have any discomfort symptoms, and the overall weight gain does not need to force herself to increase her meals. And the weight is gaining, and there is no need to force yourself to increase the amount of food you eat.
In addition, do not worry too much about the malnutrition of the fetus, in fact, the nutrition distribution during pregnancy should first meet the fetal baby, otherwise it usually does not affect the development of the fetus.
If the fetal baby is indeed slow in development, but it is really impossible to eat, you can drink some pregnant mother's milk powder, you can also choose appropriate nutritional preparations according to the doctor's advice, and you can also supplement some nutrition appropriately.
Xiaobian warm reminder: At this time, the development of the fetal baby has reached a critical moment, and pregnant mothers should choose more high-protein, multi-vitamin, and low-fat foods.
