The harm of eating two meals a day for pregnant women

Nowadays, many young people stay up late for a long time and don’t want to go to sleep. They browse their mobile phones until late at night, and then cannot get up in the morning, do not eat breakfast, and eat lunch directly. In fact, that goes against the laws of human life, is very unhealthy, and is not good for the human body.

During Qingqing's pregnancy, her mother-in-law took the initiative to take care of Qingqing. She often cooked three meals a day in different ways, as if she was coaxing her own daughter. But there was a time when my mother-in-law had something to do at home and had to go home. Before leaving, my mother-in-law told Qingqing to eat breakfast, otherwise it would be bad for the child.

Qingqing agreed immediately, but after her mother-in-law left, she started to indulge herself, going to bed late, not getting up in the morning, and eating in the afternoon. After a while, Qingqing went for a pregnancy check-up and the doctor told her that the baby was developing slowly. Qingqing felt a little ashamed, and tried to adjust her schedule after returning home.

It is very common for young people to skip breakfast, but during pregnancy, you should not be so indulgent. It is not only bad for your own health, but also affects the development of the baby.

The harm caused by pregnant women often skipping breakfast

1. Causes developmental delay in babies

There is no life-threatening risk in skipping two meals, but if you skip breakfast for a long time, it will affect the balance of nutrient supply and demand for the fetus, which will easily cause malnutrition and growth retardation in the fetus, and when the child is born, the physical health will be weaker than other children of the same age.

2. Cause stomach problems in pregnant mothers

After a whole night of digestion and absorption of food, the stomach is almost empty. If you don't eat breakfast in the morning, it will produce excessive gastric juice, which will erode the gastric mucosa, which will cause stomach pain, gastric juice and even stomach disease and other symptoms.

3. It will aggravate constipation of pregnant mothers

During pregnancy, the uterus will squeeze the intestines and bladder and other internal organs, and the digestive ability of the intestines will be weakened, so pregnant women are prone to constipation. If pregnant mothers often skip breakfast, there will be no food to digest in the stomach and intestines, and the sensitivity of digestion will be reduced, which will aggravate the occurrence of constipation.

4. It is very easy to cause hypoglycemia

The physical fitness of pregnant women is relatively weaker than that of ordinary people. If they do not eat breakfast, they are likely to suffer from hypoglycemia, which can easily cause dizziness or even fainting. If the physical fitness of pregnant women is poor for a long time and they do not eat breakfast, they are likely to have miscarriage.
