What should women eat before pregnancy preparation?

At present, more and more couples are beginning to pay attention to the physical health of their babies, so they will make corresponding preparations for pregnancy before getting pregnant in order to give birth to a healthy baby. Especially before women prepare for pregnancy, they not only need to adjust their personal diet structure, but also need to take appropriate health supplements to regulate hormones. Next, I will introduce some things that women can eat before preparing for pregnancy.

Women's preparation for pregnancy

For women, when preparing for pregnancy, the first thing to do is to change bad eating habits, eat more fruits and vegetables, ensure adequate rest and sleep, regulate the body, and do a detailed pre-pregnancy check-up to determine whether the current physical condition is suitable for conception. To maintain a happy and stable mood and welcome pregnancy life, women who are preparing for pregnancy can do so from the following aspects.

1. Pay attention to a healthy diet: do not be partial or picky about food, consume more foods with high protein content, eat more fruits and vegetables, try to eat less junk food, drink more boiled water, and do not drink coffee, alcohol and other stimulating drinks.

2. Supplement folic acid: Take folic acid orally one month before pregnancy, because taking folic acid can prevent diseases related to the development of the fetal nervous system. If you do not take folic acid in time before pregnancy, you should continue to supplement it after pregnancy until the 12th week of pregnancy.

3. Ensure rest and sleep: You must ensure enough sleep every day, otherwise the immune system will be affected and hormone secretion will be disrupted, which are not conducive to conception.

4. Manage your body: Obesity can reduce women’s fertility and may increase the risk of diabetes after pregnancy. Diabetes during pregnancy may cause the fetus to be too large and newborn breathing problems.

It is also important to do a pre-pregnancy check. There are many pre-pregnancy examinations, including routine blood tests, routine urine tests, gynecological B-ultrasound examinations, full set of gynecological endocrinology tests, full physical examinations, etc. Don’t be bothered by the trouble. For the health of your baby, all these efforts are worth it.

What to eat to prepare for pregnancy

As the saying goes, "If you don't eat green vegetables for three days, you will see stars in your eyes." This shows that human health is inseparable from green vegetables that grow naturally. Therefore, when preparing for pregnancy and after pregnancy, you should pay attention to choosing fresh and uncontaminated vegetables and fruits. You can also eat more wild vegetables and wild edible fungi. At the same time, avoid eating foods containing food additives, pigments, and preservatives so that the body can produce high-quality sperm and eggs and form excellent embryos.

While supplementing nutrition, we should also pay attention to dietary diversity. Different foods contain different nutrients and have different nutritional contents. Therefore, you should eat a variety of foods and not be picky eaters. It is best to eat everything, especially whole grains, which are good for your health.

When preparing for pregnancy, women should pay special attention to storing calcium and iron. Because iron deficiency anemia and calcium deficiency are prone to occur in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, it is too late to supplement after conception, especially for women who already have poor nutrition. Therefore, before pregnancy, you should eat more foods such as fish, milk, beef, pork, eggs, beans, and green and yellow vegetables to store rich iron and calcium in the body and avoid iron and calcium deficiency after pregnancy.
