Being pregnant for ten months is very difficult, especially in the late stages of pregnancy where the pregnant woman's body becomes heavier and there may be some adverse reactions. Attention should also be paid to diet during late pregnancy, even if it involves supplementing nutrients to prepare for childbirth. So how should expectant mothers eat in the late stage of pregnancy?
1. Late pregnancy is a stage of lung development, gastrointestinal development, and heart maturation in babies. During this period, the baby's growth will be relatively rapid, weight gain will be faster, and the demand for energy will also reach its peak. So pregnant women should eat more mineral rich foods, especially those rich in iron and calcium. Iron rich foods include animal liver, egg yolks, etc. Foods rich in calcium include sea fish, milk, and shrimp. These foods can meet the nutritional needs of the fetus and promote the physical health of pregnant women.
2. Pregnant women should not only ensure the intake of milk, eggs, fish, shrimp, beef and other foods in their daily lives, but also pay attention to consuming more fruits and vegetables to supplement their body vitamins. In addition, during the late stages of pregnancy, do not eat foods that are hot and prone to overheating. It is best to eat foods that are clear and cool, which can help eliminate fetal toxicity. You can drink some herbal tea appropriately, but avoid eating food that is too cold or frozen.
3. The uterus of pregnant women in the third trimester will enlarge and press on the stomach, which is likely to cause indigestion, nausea and other adverse conditions. Therefore, pregnant women in the third trimester should eat less and more meals. Do not eat greasy and indigestible food. They should mainly eat liquid and light food, such as noodles, egg soup or millet porridge.
