Many supermarkets and shops sell milk powder specifically for pregnant women, which contains a lot of nutrients and can meet various nutritional needs of pregnant women during pregnancy. However, during pregnancy, many pregnant women have poor appetite, are prone to constipation, do not want to eat any food, and do not like to drink milk powder, so milk tablets have become the best-selling food. So, is it easy for pregnant women to suffer from constipation if they take milk tablets?
Pregnant women are advised not to supplement their nutrition with breast milk tablets, as it can easily lead to constipation. Pregnant women have slow gastrointestinal motility during pregnancy, which can easily lead to a buildup of food. Milk tablets are actually made by squeezing milk powder into a solid. During the squeezing process, the volume of milk powder decreases, and the content of milk powder per unit volume is relatively high. Therefore, after eating, constipation is easily caused due to the lack of water neutralization.
Pregnant women can eat some milk tablets appropriately, but it is best to drink plenty of water when eating, otherwise the milk powder is difficult to digest and increases the burden on the digestive system. In fact, the ultimate goal of pregnant women taking breast milk tablets is to supplement calcium and vitamins to meet the growth of the fetus. This can be replaced by other ways, such as supplementing calcium tablets, eating more nutritious vegetables and fruits, which can also have a nutritional effect.
In addition, it is important to supplement folic acid on time during pregnancy to avoid fetal developmental abnormalities. At the same time, do not sit still for a long time to increase gastrointestinal motility and avoid constipation.
