Diet plan for two months of pregnancy

Generally speaking, pregnant women need to pay attention to their balanced diet from the day they confirm their pregnancy. The dietary arrangements for the first two months of pregnancy need to be determined based on the pregnant woman's constitution and physical condition. The nutrients required by the fetus in the early stages of pregnancy are very few, as long as the normal absorption of the mother is guaranteed. However, if the mother has obvious symptoms of malnutrition before pregnancy, nutrition needs to be strengthened.

1. Diet plan for two months of pregnancy

If your nutritional status before pregnancy is good and your physical condition is also good, generally speaking, there is no need to specifically strengthen your nutrition. Because the fetus within 3 months is still small, it does not need a large amount of nutrients during the development process. As long as it can eat normally and add some high-quality protein appropriately, it can meet the needs of fetal growth and development. However, if your nutritional status is poor before pregnancy and your physical condition is weak, you should improve your nutritional status as soon as possible and make increasing nutrition an important part of early pregnancy care. If you also experience severe early pregnancy reactions and frequent vomiting, do not take it lightly and consult a doctor promptly. Perhaps infusion or other medical interventions can help you get through the early pregnancy reaction stage.

2. What to eat during pregnancy

1. Protein: The daily intake should be around 80 grams. During the first two months of pregnancy, you don’t have to deliberately pursue a certain amount of protein intake, but you must pay attention to ensuring the quality. If you want to eat today, eat more. If you don’t want to eat tomorrow, eat less, or you can just not eat. Just let nature take its course.

2. Carbohydrates and fats: During the second month of pregnancy, if you really don’t want to eat fatty foods, you don’t have to force yourself. The body can use its own stored fat. In addition, bean products, eggs, and milk can also supplement fat in small amounts. However, it is better to eat more starch-rich foods to provide the necessary energy. You can eat more of these foods.

3. Vitamins: Vitamins are essential nutrients for the human body and are also essential for the growth and development of the fetus. In particular, folic acid, B vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin A are essential supplements during this period.

4. Water and inorganic salts: It is very important to pay attention to water and inorganic salts during the two months of pregnancy, especially for those who have severe early pregnancy reactions, because severe vomiting can easily cause an imbalance in the body's water and salt metabolism. Various soups, porridges, homemade drinks and juices will be beneficial to expectant mothers.

3. Dietary points and precautions for two months of pregnancy

1. Sleepiness in two areas of pregnancy

Pregnant women often feel tired and want to sleep easily. In fact, there is no need to worry too much, as sleepiness is a normal physiological phenomenon. Doctors point out that the increase in pregnant women's basal metabolism, changes in the maternal endocrine system during pregnancy, rapid consumption of calories in the body, and insufficient blood sugar are all causes of drowsiness. In addition, at the beginning of pregnancy, the psychological impact of anxiety and expectation is actually greater than the physiological impact. Mothers imagine that the new life growing in the womb has an angelic face, but they also worry about whether the fetus is healthy and whether the body is deformed. The expectation and fear of being hurt during pregnancy make new mothers even more exhausted. Sufficient sleep is very important for pregnant women. If sleepiness affects your life or work and rest, it is recommended that expectant mothers eat small meals frequently to maintain a certain blood sugar concentration. In addition, you may take a nap when you are tired, but it is best not to exceed an hour to avoid insomnia at night. The husband's psychological support and practical care are of great help.

2. Be careful of abnormal abdominal pain in the second month of pregnancy

Abdominal pain during pregnancy is very common. There are many reasons for abdominal pain. Some are normal phenomena of pregnancy, while others represent serious illnesses. The most common cause of abdominal pain in early pregnancy is the enlargement of the uterus and the extension of the uterine ligaments. Usually this pain is not severe and may cause some discomfort but will not affect your daily life. The location of the pain is not fixed, sometimes in the left lower abdomen, sometimes in the right lower abdomen, and the pain lasts for a very short time.

3. Avoid going to high temperature places during the second month of pregnancy

Saunas can promote the body's metabolism, but for expectant mothers, if they are in a high temperature state for a long time and cannot dissipate heat, it is likely to cause fetal malformations. This is because the fetus is not yet formed in the early stages of pregnancy and is not stable in the uterine wall. If the pregnant woman raises her body temperature above 38.9°C, it will cause chromosome breakage in the embryo or brain and nervous system defects in the fetus.

Once pregnant, pregnant women become the focus of protection for the whole family. In addition to immersing yourself in happiness and joy, you must also pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of diet during the two months of pregnancy. For example, protein intake must not be reduced. Pregnant women should not be picky about food and should not be anorexic. You must know that you are no longer eating alone. In addition to meeting your own nutritional needs, you also need to ensure that the baby can develop and grow normally in your body.
