The dangers of hunger during pregnancy

There are many aspects that women need to pay attention to during pregnancy, especially in addition to having a reasonable diet, they should also pay attention to nutritional intake. In the first three months of pregnancy, many pregnant women will have pregnancy reactions and cannot eat. Some will vomit after eating, so sometimes they would rather go hungry than eat. This is very wrong. There are many harms for pregnant women to go hungry. The biggest one is that it affects the development of the fetus and may even cause malnutrition and lead to deformities.

It is easy to feel hungry during pregnancy. When you feel hungry, you should eat something appropriate. Don’t be too hungry, as it will definitely have a certain impact on the baby. The baby’s development requires sufficient nutrition. Sometimes the child kicks hard because he is moving around inside. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and is not necessarily caused by hunger.

When a pregnant woman is hungry, will the baby in her belly also be hungry?

A pregnant woman's hunger does not mean the fetus is hungry. The fetus generally does not feel hungry. The fetus maintains its own nutrition by absorbing nutrients from the mother's body. The fetus's nutrition is through the blood. However, if the pregnant woman is malnourished for a long time, it will affect the fetus's absorption of nutrients. Being hungry frequently will cause insufficient nutrition intake, thus affecting the development of the fetus.

It doesn't mean that the baby won't be hungry just because the pregnant woman is hungry. It doesn't mean that the pregnant woman can be hungry all the time. When a person is hungry, he or she will lack energy and will extract nutrients and energy from his or her own storage. The baby is also extracting from your own storage and absorbing through the mother's body. Because before pregnancy, one person eats for one person and absorbs nutrients, but now one person eats for two people to absorb nutrients, thus the demand for nutritional intake increases.

Therefore, pregnant women cannot often go hungry. Mothers need to supplement nutrition scientifically. Don’t be afraid of eating too much and becoming fat and deformed, so you must not be afraid to eat more. The baby’s health is the most important. Eat when you are hungry and eat small, frequent meals.

What are the dangers of frequent hunger during pregnancy?

If a pregnant woman is often hungry and does not eat, the nutrients accumulated in the body will be lost and she will be prone to malnutrition. The fetus will not have comprehensive nutrition. Lack of nutrients will cause malnutrition in the baby and lead to fetal malformations, intrauterine growth retardation, and the baby will be prone to poor physical fitness after birth. After all, the baby needs a lot of nutrition for development during pregnancy, and ensuring adequate nutrition can ensure the baby's good development. Therefore, it is best for pregnant women to replenish their food as soon as they feel hungry, so as not to worry about starving the fetus! If you are in a state of hunger for a long time, it will not only affect the baby, but also yourself, and it will cause a lot of damage to the stomach.

Warm reminder: It is recommended that you pay attention to nutrition and eat more nutritious food during pregnancy. When you are pregnant, you should pay attention to eating small meals frequently and don’t be too hungry. For the growth and development of the baby, you should prepare some snacks around you and eat when you are hungry. If you are too hungry, it may affect the baby's development. Pay attention to rest and pay attention to hygiene.
