However, pregnant women are prone to gastrointestinal discomfort in the first trimester, coupled with morning sickness, gastrointestinal function will be significantly reduced, so it is recommended that pregnant women control the amount when eating brown sugar cakes. You can eat less and eat more, but you must not eat a lot at once, so as not to burden your stomach.
In fact, in the early stage of pregnancy, the fetus does not need a lot of nutrition at this stage. There is no need for pregnant mothers to make up for it, and there is no need to strictly limit their diet, which is not in line with the dietary principles of pregnant women. It is suggested that pregnant women should have a comprehensive diet in the first trimester, but the nutrition should be light, and eat less and more meals, which can not only relieve morning sickness, but also better promote nutrient absorption and be more conducive to the healthy development of the fetus.
Pay attention to the following principles in the diet in the early pregnancy:
1, choose foods that stimulate appetite.
Most early pregnant women have poor appetite or taste changes, whether it is sour, spicy, salty or light, they should cater to the preferences of pregnant mothers, and do not avoid too many dishes, so that pregnant mothers can get adequate nutrition supply.
2. Choose foods that are easy to digest.
Such as porridge, dry bread, steamed bread, biscuits, sweet potatoes, etc. , can reduce vomiting.
3, eat if you want, eat less and eat more.
Especially pregnant mothers with severe pregnancy reaction, don't stick to the meal time and eat whenever you want. For example, getting up early before going to bed and eating a few biscuits, bread and other snacks can reduce vomiting and increase food intake.
4. Supplement 400-600 micrograms of folic acid every day.
When the fetus is implanted into the pregnant mother's uterus, neural tubes begin to differentiate and develop. In order to avoid fetal neural tube malformation, it is particularly important for pregnant women to start supplementing folic acid when planning pregnancy. Insufficient folic acid intake has many negative effects on pregnancy, including low birth weight, placental abruption and neural tube malformation.
