Throughout the entire period of pregnancy, the female body changes. The needs for vitamins, minerals and other nutrients also become different. The baby in the womb also receives building elements from food, so a pregnant woman needs to plan her diet literally by day and week.
During pregnancy, it is best to eat more often, but little by little. It would be nice to divide the daily rate into five or six parts. During this period, it will be more useful not to finish eating a little than to overeat and feel heaviness in the stomach. Try to avoid pickled, smoked, and fried foods. Replace with stews, boiled, baked, and steamed foods.
Don't eat recommended and healthy foods that you don't like. During pregnancy, this can cause toxicosis, which will not benefit either you or the baby. Replace these dishes with others that are similar in composition, but which you can tolerate better.
In the first or second week of pregnancy, eat less ice cream and other desserts. Eat more folic acid foods. These include green lettuce and grains. Include yoghurts, cheese, yellow fruits in your diet.
Beginning in the third week, you need to get a lot of calcium, which is found in natural juices, broccoli, dairy products and green vegetables. In addition to this mineral, you need manganese and zinc. They are found in nuts, bananas, raisins, carrots, turkey, almonds, oatmeal, eggs, lean beef, and pork.
With the onset of the fourth week of pregnancy, you must completely stop drinking coffee. Starting from the fifth week, there is a risk of toxicosis. In this case, you need to replace all protein products with legumes and nuts. Eat more apricots, mangoes, and carrots.
From week 6, eat only breadcrumbs and crackers. Eat raisins before bed. Drink more, do not endure thirst. Avoid chips, cabbage, and fried potatoes during your seventh week of pregnancy. Start breakfast in the eighth week with nuts, drink ginger tea.
During the ninth and tenth week, replace rice, pasta, and bread with the same foods, but coarsely ground and processed. Avoid sugar. From 11-12 weeks, eat what your body requires of you. 13-16 weeks of pregnancy are characterized by the need to choose more nutritious food.
From 16-24 weeks, include yellow peppers, carrots and cabbage in your diet. During 24-28 hours - try not to eat later than three hours before bedtime. Eat more nuts, fish, seeds, meats, dark green vegetables, yoghurts in the last month of pregnancy. Eat more grains, breads, and vegetables two weeks before giving birth. Do not deny yourself and other food, just know when to stop.
