Diet for pregnant women (3 term): menu. Nutrition of pregnant women by week

Pregnancy is a very important, exciting, responsible and at the same time a beautiful period of a woman's life. Becoming a mummy, a woman "always enters the club of pregnant women" and will often remember how it was with her. Pregnancy, no matter what it counts, is always a milestone. Life "before" the appearance of the baby and with him. Care for the baby mom should show at the first sign of pregnancy. And while they are one with the child, all of its decisions and actions should be directed to the benefit of both. It is more to walk outdoors, relax, think about pleasant things, avoid stressful situations and, of course, eat right. From the nutrition of the future mother depends the development of the fetus, the course of labor and the further health of the baby.

A few words about the most important

Hearing the cherished words "you will have a child," the woman begins to replenish her luggage of knowledge in the field of pregnancy and childbirth. The benefit of information is abound and the main points are known to every girl.

If you do not take into account the individual characteristics, the duration of pregnancy is 9 months. This term physicians are divided into three terms.

Of course, to argue that any of the trimesters is more important than the rest is silly. For the full development of the fetus, for normal birth and the condition of the baby and mother, every moment of pregnancy is of enormous importance.

So, in the first trimester the fetus is formed and by the end of the period it begins to move (although the woman does not yet feel this distinctly). In the second trimester, the child actively develops all internal organs. The child is already moving well, he hears the mother's heart and the voices of his parents. In the last trimester the baby fully formed, all organs, including the brain, eyes and even marigolds. The lungs develop the longest in the baby. In the third trimester, the baby rolls the head down.

During pregnancy, and preferably in advance, a woman should abandon bad habits: smoking, alcohol and improper nutrition. The full nutrition of a pregnant woman is a very important factor in the development of the baby.

Effect of nutrition on pregnancy

There are legends about tasteful whims and oddities of pregnant women. Indeed, the gastronomic preferences of a woman during pregnancy change. Sometimes the taste preferences of expectant mothers are shocked, besides, they are so fickle that the future fathers have to be patient. This is due to hormonal failure, a special "protective mechanism" of Mother Nature and "punctures" in the head of a pregnant woman.

The fetus receives its food by the blood of the mother, so it is very important to monitor how it feeds. Do not follow a certain diet without the appointment of a specialist. Each doctor signs meals for pregnant women on a weekly basis and gives individual recommendations to the future woman in labor, guided by her analyzes.

What should be a diet for pregnant women. 3 trimester

The pregnant menu should be balanced, useful, exclude allergenic products and at the same time not be "overloaded". On the last terms, many women are advised to eat less or arrange unloading days, as the weight of the mother, the baby and the physical condition of the mother can complicate the birth.

Pregnant are green salads with vegetable oil (or without refueling). Vegetables and fruits are also very useful, especially if seasonal. Young potatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, eggplant, pepper - that's what mom needs and her baby. Tomatoes must be eaten with caution, they belong to allergens.

Dairy products should be selected without additives and with a short shelf life. Milk and sour milk products have a beneficial effect on the digestive system and give the calcium necessary for the fetus. Yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese, milk and milk can be asked to restrict the doctor in the prenatal period, since these are quite high-calorie foods.

Cereals are very important in the diet, it is desirable to cook whole-grain, and not in cereal. Before cooking, it is recommended to soak the rump. By the way, there are restrictions on the croup, pregnant women are not recommended to eat a mango and white rice.

Mushrooms in general should not be used by pregnant women, especially on the latest terms.

You need to drink whenever you want. If a woman does not have strong problems with swelling, she should not restrict herself to liquid. You can drink water, tea, fresh juices, milk. Unacceptable alcoholic drinks and fizzy. Coffee is perceived by doctors not unambiguously, so it is recommended that if not to exclude, then limit it.

Starting from the 34th week, it is preferable to use young beef or chicken out of meat products of a pregnant woman.

For normal clotting of blood, and also to improve the work of the kidneys, the expectant mother needs to eat foods containing vitamin K.

Vitamin C improves the mental state and immunity of a pregnant woman. For a baby, products with its contents are important as a strengthening of blood vessels. But by the middle of the third trimester you need to be extremely careful with this vitamin, as it promotes the development of gestosis.

Vitamin E will help the woman's body to better prepare for childbirth. Starting from the 30th week, foods containing this vitamin should supplement nutrition for pregnant women. The woman's menu must include carrots, radishes, cucumbers and other foods rich in vitamin E.
