What should pregnant women do if their protein intake is high?

Some pregnant women have physical symptoms, so they need timely treatment to ensure their health and avoid problems that seriously affect the safety of the pregnant woman and the fetus. In particular, some pregnant women have high protein levels. So what should pregnant women do if their protein levels are high? Let me introduce to you how to deal with this problem.

The average woman needs about 60 grams of protein per day. But during pregnancy, women's protein requirements increase to meet the needs of fetal growth. Generally, the body's demand for protein increases with the extension of pregnancy. In the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy, pregnant women should add an additional 5 grams, 15 grams and 20 grams of protein per day respectively. It should be noted that the intake of high-quality protein must be increased, that is, more fish, eggs, milk and bean products must be eaten. In comparison, animal protein has a higher absorption and utilization rate in the human body, while plant protein such as beans and bean products has a lower absorption and utilization rate. Pregnant women in late pregnancy need to store a certain amount of protein for postpartum milk secretion.

If protein intake is insufficient, the pregnant woman's physical strength will decline, the fetus's growth will slow down, and the pregnant woman's body will often not recover well after delivery and her milk will be scarce, which is not good for the health of both mother and child. Therefore, pregnant women should consume protein reasonably according to the needs of different periods.

People with high levels of high-density lipoprotein should avoid high-cholesterol foods and high-fat foods such as animal offal, egg yolks, preserved eggs, chocolate, fatty meat, fried foods, cakes, snacks, fried dough sticks, as well as spicy condiments, tobacco and alcohol.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If a pregnant woman has the above problems, she should pay attention to timely examination, which can help the patient recover quickly, avoid affecting the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus, and avoid dangerous situations. If you have any questions, you can consult me ​​for treatment in time. Finally, I wish the pregnant woman a smooth delivery.
