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 fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me which vegetables are good for the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women need a large amount of protein for the growth of the uterus and mammary glands, so they should consume more protein-rich foods such as eggs, lean meat, fish, and soy products. Sugars are primarily used to supply energy. Pregnant women have increased metabolism and higher energy consumption, so foods high in sugar like rice and white flour should be increased accordingly. Pregnant women do not consume much fat, so it is important not to eat too much fat to prevent obesity and additional burdens. It is advisable to eat more vegetables and fruits, especially high-fiber foods like celery and cabbage, which help prevent constipation.The development of the fetus's bones, nervous system, and hematopoietic organs requires a large amount of iron, phosphorus, calcium, and various vitamins, so it is important to supplement these nutrients during pregnancy. In addition to consuming more animal liver, beans, spinach, shellfish, and milk in the diet, it is appropriate to take iron supplements, calcium tablets, and vitamins A, B, C, and D to prevent anemia and calcium deficiency.
