　　Dietary recommendations for different stages of pregnancy

　　※early pregnancy

　　【Dietary suggestions】

　　First 1 to 2 months of pregnancy fetus Still in the stages of division, implantation, and preliminary development, Taoyuan Hospital Huang Jianxun, director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, said that there is no need to deliberately increase the nutritional intake or diet of the fetus during this period. As long as the mother maintains a normal diet, it is enough for the fetus.

　　Around 6 weeks into pregnancy, many mothers have morning sickness Therefore, you can temporarily change your diet, such as eating small meals more frequently, eating less greasy and difficult-to-digest foods, and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition, eating more liver, potatoes, oats, brown rice, peanuts, wheat germ, honey and other foods containing vitamin B6 can also help relieve morning sickness.

　　folic acid

　　The only thing that is more special is that in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus happens to be nerve During the period of tube development, if the neural tube develops poorly, severe cases may lead to congenital malformations such as spina bifida or anencephaly. It is currently known that the intake of folic acid can prevent the occurrence of fetal neural tube defects. Therefore, it is recommended to eat more foods containing folic acid every day from 1 month before pregnancy to 3 months after pregnancy.

　　Food sources: Foods rich in folic acid include green vegetables (spinach, asparagus, asparagus, etc.), radish, beans, yeast, bananas, strawberries, oranges, animal liver, lean meat, fish, eggs, etc.
