1. Supplementation during pregnancy
However, the Polish Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (PTGiP) warns against routine iron supplementation by pregnant women. This element should therefore be supplemented by women in whom tests showed a reduced hemoglobin level (Hb). However, if this is accompanied by an elevated MCV (average erythrocyte volume), the problem is rather a folic acid or vitamin B12 deficiency.2. This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union
In obese women according to PTGIP, an increase of this dose to 4000 IU (after consultation with your doctor) may be considered. Pregnant women are advised to supplement with vitamin D at 15002000 IU per day.3. Calorie intake during pregnancy
In the latest nutritional norms for the Polish population, it is recommended to increase calorie intake already in the first trimester of pregnancy. Increased caloric intake at the individual stages of pregnancy is recommended: I trimester: +85 kcal, II trimeter: +285 kcal; III trimester; +475 kcal. So there is no need to eat for two. A diet rich in sugar can contribute to excess weight gain in pregnancy, and this has adverse effects for both mother and child, e.g. increased risk of developing a full-term pregnancy, for example, due to high-growth pregnancy due to diabetes mellitus, and for example due to the lack of evidence of weight gain due to weight loss.4. Nutrients in the diet
Full protein is of animal origin, but in vegan and vegetarian diets all the essential amino acids can be obtained by including a variety of protein sources in the diet. It is an extremely important ingredient, especially during pregnancy.5. It's the fat
As with any balanced diet, vegetable oils should be taken into account, especially in their raw form, e.g. as a salad additive. They are mainly found in fish, so even if you supplement them, it is recommended to eat at least two servings of fatty fish a week. Fats are important mainly because of their DHA and EPA acid content.6. It's carbohydrates
Pregnant women are advised to choose as few processed carbohydrates as possible, such as whole-grain bread, pasta, flour, various types of cassava, and cereals.7. Vitamins and minerals
Particular attention should therefore be paid to their adequate intake with food. Plant-derived non-heme iron is worse absorbed. Only a varied diet can meet the demand for all the essential ingredients. Heme iron, which is mainly found in red meat and pork, is best absorbed, and its absorption can be increased by adding vitamin C-rich foods to meals. As mentioned earlier, some elements play a significant role in fetal life including iron, calcium, iodine.8. The iron
It is recommended to consume a minimum of 2 glasses of milk or fermented products such as yogurt or kefir during the day: its food sources include pork liver, red meat, nuts, cocoa, barley, beans, peas, lentils: it should be supplemented, but this does not mean that it may be lacking in a well-balanced diet.9. Why is proper nutrition so important during pregnancy?
Nutritional programming can be an important factor affecting the risk of many diseases, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, allergies. Hsu, Y.L. Malnutrition in pregnancy, in turn, can lead to an increased risk of carbohydrate disorders, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and hypertension. The mother's diet should be in line with the adult healthy eating principles developed by the FDA. This, as the mother does, has a direct impact on the development of the child and his morphological health, even as an adult. For example, the pregnancy study C.N. This shows that the components of the diet can break down fat or fat from the body, and that it can provide nutrients, nutrients and minerals to all offspring, which have a corresponding effect on the metabolism and metabolism of the food.
