What to do if the blood sugar of a pregnant woman is high during confinement

1. Eat small, frequent meals

Many new mothers who have just given birth are forced to eat a lot of meat and fish, or even some nutritious foods during the confinement period. In fact, it is not advisable to eat too much at one time after giving birth, because the gastrointestinal function of pregnant women has been affected by the pressure of the uterus during pregnancy. Therefore, a period of rest is needed during the confinement period to restore the gastrointestinal function. Therefore, you should eat small meals to reduce the burden on the stomach.

This way, the necessary nutrients can be replenished, the stomach and intestines have room to recover, and the mother's body can recover faster.

2. Thickness and thinness matching

When preparing confinement meals, new mothers should follow the principle of combining coarse and fine foods and balanced nutrition. Postpartum mothers need more comprehensive nutrition, so don’t just eat a lot of meat and fish. It is better to add more coarse grains such as millet and oats.

In addition, fresh vegetables and fruits can supplement rich vitamins, promote digestion and absorption for new mothers, and prevent constipation. In addition, fresh fruits and vegetables can increase the vitamin content of breast milk, thereby improving the baby's resistance.

3. Supplement appropriate water

In addition to expending physical energy during the childbirth process, women also sweat a lot. In addition, the metabolism of postpartum mothers increases, so they will sweat more easily than before. In addition, you need to breastfeed your baby, so you need to replenish water. If you don’t like drinking water, you can also drink more soup.

4. Eat light and easy to digest food

The gastrointestinal function of new mothers has not fully recovered after delivery. Therefore, in addition to eating small meals frequently during the confinement period, the diet should be light and easy to digest, especially in the first few days after delivery. It is best to choose semi-liquid food. Porridge is also a good staple food.
