 Mother's food during pregnancy for a healthy baby

For every child in this world, mother is like a banyan tree. With the infinite affection and love of the mother, the children grow up safe and secure. So first of all you have to pay attention to the nutritional aspect of the mother.

Proper care of the pregnant mother is the main condition for giving birth to a healthy normal child. The first three months of pregnancy are extremely risky. During this time, the pregnant women experience loss of appetite, nausea, weight loss and anemia in many cases. So family members need to ensure the health and balanced diet of the expectant mother. Especially for the proper growth of the fetus from five months, the mother's food should be balanced. With meat, calcium, vitamins, minerals and enough water. With that you need to ensure adequate sleep or rest.

For example, the Food and Nutrition Board of the United States recommends that pregnant women consume an additional 20 grams of carbs in the last two months of pregnancy with their required carbs. These meats should be excellent i.e. animal. In addition, the diet should contain 500 mg of extra calcium and 5 mg of iron. They recommend eating enough milk and nuts to meet the demand for calcium.

In addition, lack of calcium and vitamin D causes osteomalacia. In addition, iodine-rich foods such as marine fish should be in the diet of pregnant mothers at this time. This is because iodine is essential for the growth of a child's intelligence or brain. In the early stages of pregnancy, where the weight of the fetus increases by about 1 gram per day, it starts increasing by 10 grams per day after five months. The last two months of pregnancy increase the total weight of the baby by half. For that, the nutritional aspect of the mother should be given special importance.

Daily diet: 8 am to 8:30 am — four loaves of bread or two parathas, one egg and two cups of vegetables. From 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. — 8250 mg of milk or 60 g of nuts, two biscuits or a turnip, any one seasonal fruit. Noon: Three cups of rice (medium cup of tea), two pieces of fish or meat, one day a week sea fish, vegetables, salad and lemon, one cup of pulses. Five to six in the afternoon — 250 mg of milk or soup or 60 g of nuts, biscuits or turnips 30 g or a cup of noodles. At night: four cups of rice, at least two pieces of fish or meat, one day a week seafood, vegetables and one cup of pulses.

Some common misconceptions about food: There are many elderly people in the house who forbid the expectant mother to eat extra food. Their idea is that if they eat extra food, the unborn child will grow up. And when he grows up, he will have to have a caesarean section. As a result, the mother suffers from malnutrition and the child is born with low birth weight. That's not right. In addition, the mother is given the wrong idea about some nutritious food. For example, playing Mrigel fish causes epilepsy in children. The child's jaw gets much bigger when he eats boiled fish. The child's body is serpentine when playing horn or shoal fish. Cucumbers are not allowed to eat any vegetables, it is said that the skin of the child's body will be cracked. Playing banana will make you feel cold. During lunar eclipse or solar eclipse, mother is not fed all day. Etc. There are innumerable misconceptions — which are just misconceptions. It is also a cause of malnutrition of the future mother.
