What to eat during eight months of pregnancy

　　What should I eat when I am eight months pregnant? Let me introduce it to you below:

　　Increase protein intake from legumes. In the third trimester of pregnancy, in addition to ensuring the intake of animal foods such as livestock, poultry, fish, eggs, and milk, you can also increase the intake of soy protein, such as tofu and soy milk. These two foods are the essence of soybean foods, containing all the nutrients of soybeans, rich in protein, and removing the indigestible fiber and anti-nutritional factors in soybeans, improving the protein digestion and absorption rate.

　　Eat more calcium-rich foods. Pregnant women’s calcium requirements increase significantly during late pregnancy. fetus Calcification of teeth and bones requires a large amount of calcium. Pregnant women should drink more bone soup and shrimp skin soup, and eat more sesame seeds, kelp, seaweed, rape, amaranth, pak choi, etc. Among them, seaweed is not only high in calcium, but also rich in iron.

　　Supplement adequate amounts of vitamin B1. Insufficient vitamin B1 in pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy will cause similar symptoms and even affect the health of pregnant women during delivery. Uterus Contraction can lead to dystocia, so pregnant women should eat more whole grains rich in vitamin B1.

　　Be careful with vegetable oil intake. Vegetable oil is not only rich in essential fatty acids, but also rich in vitamin E. Vitamin E can prevent fetal development abnormalities and muscle atrophy. To supplement vitamin E, you can eat more peanuts, sesame seeds, walnuts, sesame oil, soybean oil, etc.

　　Pay attention to the appropriate amount of animal liver intake. Animal liver contains heme iron, riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin A, etc., which is an ideal food for iron supplementation in late pregnancy.

　　Eat small, frequent meals. In the third trimester of pregnancy, due to the growth of the fetus and the pressure of the uterus on the stomach, pregnant women eat less. They often feel full after eating less food, but this does not actually meet the body's nutrient needs. Therefore, the dietary structure during this period should choose foods with small size and high nutritional value, such as animal foods. It is better to eat less or no warm foods, such as sugar, honey and other sweet foods, and pay attention to controlling the intake of salt and water. The number of meals for pregnant women can be increased to more than 5 meals a day, and the principle is to eat less and more meals.
