What should I eat in the early stages of pregnancy

  When women become pregnant, they may experience early pregnancy reactions such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and vertigo. The occurrence of these early pregnancy reactions can reduce women's appetite, which is not conducive to their nutrient intake and affects fetal development. So women should adjust their diet in a timely manner after pregnancy. So, what should women eat in the early stages of pregnancy?

  In the first three months of pregnancy, the fetus develops slowly, so there is no need to pay too much attention to nutritional supplementation. In addition, if women experience nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy, it is necessary to adjust their diet by adding two or three meals a day, and not overeating each meal. In the morning, when you have a serious reaction to pregnancy and vomiting, you'd better eat food that is easy to digest, such as toast, Mantou slices, etc.

  Women with severe morning sickness during early pregnancy should have a light, delicious, and easily digestible diet. Sometimes, they can also take vitamin B appropriately to improve appetite loss and reduce physical discomfort. However, during this period, it is necessary to supplement folic acid to prevent abnormal brain and nerve development in the fetus. Women can also consume folic acid from food sources such as animal liver and legumes.

  After pregnancy, women can eat some acidic fruits and vegetables, such as lemons, grapes, tomatoes, etc., which can supplement vitamin C, improve appetite, and reduce morning sickness. However, some pickled vegetables, such as pickles and pickled Chinese cabbage, should never be eaten by women. These vegetables contain carcinogens, which are not conducive to women's health and can affect fetal development.
