Diet for weight control in late pregnancy

The most obvious phenomenon during pregnancy is weight. As the belly grows bigger day by day, coupled with rich nutrition, it is easy to gain weight. A reasonable weight during pregnancy is beneficial to the health of the body, but being overweight or too thin will have an impact on the health of the body. If a pregnant woman is underweight, it is easy to cause fetal malnutrition and growth restriction, and if she is overweight, it will cause diabetes, giant babies and other phenomena. So how to control weight in the late pregnancy?

How to avoid gaining too much weight during pregnancy?

1. Eat a balanced diet to ensure the nutrition needed during pregnancy. Reduce foods with low nutritional value and high glycemic index such as cakes and candies.

2. Exercise every day. If expectant mothers keep exercising, it will help reduce the risk of giving birth to a giant baby, but they should be careful about the degree of exercise and avoid doing too strenuous exercise or exercising for too long. Try walking or other low-intensity aerobic exercise.

3. Have regular prenatal checkups and measure your weight regularly. When your weight shows a red light, you can consult a doctor so that the red light can be turned back to green as soon as possible to ensure the health of the fetus.

How can I “grow the fetus” if I don’t gain enough weight during pregnancy?

1. Eat a nutritious breakfast every day: You may add an egg and a glass of milk to your breakfast to get more protein.

2. Adhere to the principle of eating small and frequent meals: Eat one or two snacks between meals. You can choose nutritious nuts, yogurt, etc.

3. Eat more fruits to supplement vitamins: grapefruit, papaya, apple, orange, etc. are all good choices. It is also nice to squeeze the fruits into juice and drink it in summer.

Don't be too nervous if your weight is slightly over or under during pregnancy. It's just a little deviation from the standard and generally won't cause a big impact. But you can't take it lightly. You should control your diet and then your weight, and don't gain or lose weight blindly.

How to control weight during pregnancy when the baby is growing but not the flesh?

1. Weigh yourself every day, record it, and make a weight curve chart

Don't think that if your weight doesn't change much every day, there is no need to weigh yourself and record it every day. We have all heard the principle of little by little adding up to a lot. If you gain or lose a little weight every day, there will be obvious changes after a period of time. If you can't discover it early, it will be difficult to control your weight in the first place.

2. Understand the calories of food

Knowing the calorie content of food can help you better plan your diet and control your daily calorie intake.

3. Don’t always worry about losing your figure

Pregnant mothers who only consider their own body shape and are unwilling to eat more, and do not even put the baby's health first, how can they be good mothers in the future? Which is more important, body shape or baby's health? Weigh it yourself!

4. Scientific and reasonable diet

It is generally recommended to eat small meals frequently during pregnancy, and to have a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables. In the hot summer weather, the appetite is often poor, so the diet should be lighter. In addition, give up your favorite junk food, and eat healthy snacks such as nuts when you want to snack.

5. Listen to your doctor

Have regular prenatal checkups. During the checkups, the doctor will give certain suggestions based on the pregnant mother's weight. All the pregnant mother has to do is listen to the doctor's suggestions and implement them.

Knowing how to control weight, but implementing it is a big task. At this time, the husband also needs to do his part to supervise and cooperate with the pregnant mother to control her weight.
