Patient's question:
My wife has been pregnant for 6 to 7 weeks now. I just tell her to try her best to eat natural and nutritious foods, such as: food, two eggs a day, fish head soup, and two oranges; pills, Matril, vitamin B, and Anmian milk powder. Is this nutrition enough?I also heard that dragon fruit (in soup) cannot be eaten, but goji berries can be. What exactly should a pregnant woman eat during the first, second, and third trimesters—foods, fruits, and supplements—to properly supplement nutrition? What is the correct way? (I often see a lot of supplements for pregnant women on TV. Is it right to eat these supplements, such as some medicinal herbs?)
Doctor's answer:
Hello, there's nothing particularly special about a pregnant woman's diet in the first three months; you can eat as you normally would. Pay attention to some of your usual bad eating habits, such as preferring cold or spicy foods, and try to change them. After the second trimester, you'll need to increase your nutritional intake. It's best to eat a variety of foods in moderation.Additionally, eating more vegetables, fruits, walnuts, watermelon seeds, and other foods is very beneficial for the baby. Drinking pregnancy formula milk provides comprehensive and balanced nutrition, which is very helpful for the baby's development.
