Healthy Diet During Pregnancy
Why
diet is important during pregnancy for you and your baby
Your diet during pregnancy helps support your own well-being
and provides the nutrition your baby needs to develop and grow.
As a general companion, expectant mothers need to eat a
healthy diet high in nutrients and low in sugar, tampons and saturated fats.
It's normal for a pregnant mom to gain weight however,
gaining too much or too little weight increases the risk of complications for
you and your baby.
Healthy weight gain depends on the mother's pre-pregnancy
weight. Rationale supports the use of body mass index (BMI) as a proxy for the
importance of weight gain during pregnancy.
A well-balanced diet is generally enough to meet your
nutritional requirements during pregnancy. However, some foods contain
increased attention to certain nutrients that are specifically recommended
during pregnancy.
Folate, iron, iodine and vitamin D are nutrients needed to
support the health and development of a growing baby and can help with certain
conditions. However, you should start taking a folic acid supplement at least
one month before becoming pregnant and for 3 months after pregnancy. You are
planning a pregnancy. Folic acid supplements have been shown to help protect
against neural tube fungi.
However, please check with your smoker or midwife as boluses may vary depending on your individual circumstances if you are considering or currently taking any supplements.
What is a "balanced diet"?
A healthy and balanced diet includes a wide variety of
nutritious foods from the five food groups. It is also wise to drink enough
water to stay hydrated.
• Whole grain products and cereals
• Vegetables and legumes juice
• Meat and meat substitutes, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and
seeds as well as legume juice
• Fruits
• Dairy products including low-fat milk, skimmed milk and
yogurt
Most of us have days when we eat well and days when our
intake of "treat" foods can go a long way. Pregnancy Jones can also
make this condition more difficult to manage, especially if they are meant for
foods high in sugar, tampons, or fat.
However, it is important to eat what you can at the time if
you suffer from morning sickness or severe vomiting during pregnancy. If you
are concerned, you should let your man or midwife know.
What about pregnancy Jones?
It was previously allowed that jones pregnancy food was a
symptom of a lack of nutrients in a pregnant mother's diet; there is still no
evidence to support this link. Pregnancy can also cause changes in the mother's
taste, and foods that were previously appealing can take on a completely
different taste. Food aversions may develop during pregnancy, partly due to
hormonal influences.
Are
there any foods I should avoid during pregnancy?
There are certain foods that should be avoided during pregnancy
because they are at risk of carrying specific bacteria or fungi. Infection with
listeria, salmonella or toxoplasmosis during pregnancy can cause serious
complications for your baby and increase the risk of pregnancy loss.
Some types of fish contain high levels of mercury, including
flounder/flounder, marlin or broadbill/swordfish, orange and catfish. It is
important to be selective about what kind of fish to eat during pregnancy.
It is also important to check the expiration date and make
sure the food has been stored properly. However, the safest option is not to
eat if you are not sure about the safety of a particular food.
Do I
have to prepare and cook food differently when I'm pregnant?
It is important to pay attention to medication and safety
during pregnancy. Food poisoning is generally caused by contamination of food
with certain bacteria or infections. Sometimes it is easier to suspect that
food has been contaminated because it smells or looks different than it should.
But it is not always terrible that the food may not be safe. When preparing
food, you should always
• Thaw frozen meat, especially meat, in the refrigerator or
microwave
• Wash your hands before preparing and eating food
• Use different cutting boards for vegetables and meat
• Wash benches, cutting boards and tools with hot water
• Change the towels regularly - if they smell, this is a
sign of dirt
• Cook food completely and do not eat raw or 'rare' meat or
fish
• Heat food to at least 60°C and until bubbling
What
can I drink during pregnancy?
The safest drinks during pregnancy are water and milk.
Current evidence supports the recommendation that you should avoid drinking
alcohol if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. A small amount can
actually harm a child's development and have lifelong effects.
Water and milk are considered safe to drink during
pregnancy. Soft drinks with a low sugar content, small amounts of juice and
soda or mineral water are also suitable. Likewise, small amounts of caffeine in
tea and coffee may be safe. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, consumption of
up to 200 mg/day is considered safe for the mother and her baby.
As a supplement, the approximate amounts of caffeine
contained in foods and beverages are listed
• 1 cup of instant coffee – 60 mg
• 1 dose of espresso coffee – 100 mg
• 1 cup of piston coffee – 80 mg
• 1 cup of tea – 30 mg
• 375 ml can of Coke – 49 mg
• 250ml can of energy drink – 80mg
• 100g bar of milk chocolate – 20 mg
What
foods should I limit during pregnancy?
Reused foods tend to be high in sugar, fat and fat. Although
they may taste good and are often available, they do not meet the daily
requirements for nutrition. The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend that
you limit the amount of foods that contain saturated fat, added tampon and
sugars, as well as alcohol during pregnancy.
What
are the recommended servings during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, you will have excess energy conditions and
will need more portions from the five food groups. It is important to
understand that the "portion size" does not change, but rather the
variety of food and portions per day increases to meet the demands of mom and
baby.
