There are many things that women need to pay attention to after pregnancy, and having a pregnant woman at home can enrich the dishes on the table. However, many people blindly supplement nutrients and are not sure what to supplement during pregnancy. So, what should I do during pregnancy?
The following are the elements that women need to supplement after pregnancy:
1. Vitamin A: In early pregnancy, due to relatively low levels of progesterone, combined with pregnancy reactions and vomiting, loss of appetite and insufficient food intake can lead to a decrease in serum vitamin A levels. It can be said that early pregnancy is the period when serum vitamin A levels are the lowest, so supplementing vitamin A in early pregnancy is crucial.
2. Folic acid: Folic acid plays an important role in cell division and growth, as well as in the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. It is also necessary for the formation of red blood cells in the blood and is an essential component of the human body. Women in early pregnancy especially need sufficient folic acid to ensure the normal development of the fetus.
3. Iron element: Supplementing iron element during pregnancy can avoid the impact of iron deficiency anemia caused by iron deficiency on the body, prevent immune deficiency caused by iron deficiency, and make it more susceptible to bacterial invasion. At the same time, it can also compensate for iron loss caused by blood loss during childbirth. Iron also plays an important role in the fetus, reducing the likelihood of premature birth and low birth weight in newborns.
