Can pregnant women bear being hungry before going to bed?

Anyone who has given birth to a baby knows that diet during pregnancy is very important, because what you eat not only ensures your own normal metabolism, but also provides nutrition for the baby. It can be said that one person is eating for two. People with good appetite will always feel hungry during pregnancy, especially at night. So should pregnant women eat when they are hungry at night?

1. Is it okay for pregnant women to resist eating when they are hungry at night?

If a pregnant woman feels obviously hungry, she needs to eat, because if her blood sugar level is very low, it will be bad for the development of the baby.

Pregnant women are hungry at night, don't worry about gaining weight and not eating, because hunger can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, if you don't eat for a long time, the gastric juice may directly erode the gastric mucosa, it is easy to cause ulcers, therefore, eating something that is easy to digest is the best choice. Pregnant women should learn to choose what to eat and choose foods that can fill their stomachs and are not likely to cause negative effects on the body.

2. What should pregnant women do if they are particularly hungry?

1. Make sure you drink enough water every day.

Many expectant mothers ignore the issue of drinking water during pregnancy. They tend to go to the toilet frequently during pregnancy, which makes them unwilling to drink more water, and dehydration is not easy to be detected. However, if expectant mothers do not drink enough water every day, it will not only slow down the body's metabolism, but also easily cause hunger. If pregnant mothers do not drink enough water, then when they feel hungry, they might as well drink a glass of water first, and then consider whether to eat.

2. Scientifically arrange your daily diet

In fact, during pregnancy, the daily diet should be properly arranged, so that the expectant mother can eat healthy and nutritious food, provide sufficient energy for the fetus, and effectively control weight. The diet during pregnancy should be based on the preparation for pregnancy plus two supplementary meals. Three meals a day should still be sufficient. Some porridge and pastries that are easy to digest can be added between the two meals. In addition, a certain amount of dairy products, eggs, meat, beans, fruits and vegetables should be consumed every day. Eat small meals as much as possible. Don’t eat too much or too little at each meal. If you eat too little, you will feel hungry more easily, and the baby will not be able to absorb enough nutrients normally. If you eat too much, the weight of the pregnant mother will increase too quickly, which will also lead to the risk of a slightly larger fetus or dystocia. Therefore, the diet must be reasonable!
