Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What should a 15-week pregnant woman eat?Doctor's answer:
In the second trimester (14–27 weeks), fetal growth and development accelerate, and the pregnant woman's demand for total calories increases. It is necessary to moderately increase the intake of substances such as protein, calcium, and phosphorus to meet the needs of fetal and maternal nutrient storage. For example, dairy products and beans are rich in high-quality protein. Calcium is found in eggs, shrimp shells, animal bones, and leafy vegetables, while soybeans, chicken, and lamb are rich in phosphorus.
