During these months in a woman experiencing important changes. They are so significant that look like a serious deviation from the norm. Frequent heart rate, increases appetite and increases weight. Due to the large inflow of blood into the circulatory system becomes noticeable, especially late in pregnancy, swelling of the hands and feet. Most women find that your bladder can not hold so much urine as before. Nausea and vomiting disappear. However, there may appear constipation and heartburn. Furthermore, there may be other, perfectly normal for pregnancy, but nevertheless unpleasant changes. People who argue that the basis of "healthy inner light" pregnant is perfect contentment and detachment from the outside world, obviously, have never been pregnant! This chapter discusses the building blocks of healthy nutrition and focuses on a particularly important nutrients. You will need to assess your diet and you will present suggestions for improving your diet, if you need to make any changes. The section on fetal nutrition is explained, the fetus gets nutrition from your diet. WHAT IS THE HEALTHY NUTRITION FOR PREGNANT WOMEN? During pregnancy increases the need for women in calories, protein, vitamins, mineral supplements and water. For most women, the right food choices can and should provide a need for calories and nutrients, except, perhaps, only iron. For healthy women, no special dietary supplements are not required. Only need a diet containing: a sufficient amount of calories needed for weight gain in a timely manner, a set of products recommended by the Pyramid - a guide to food choices, plenty of fluids (8-10 cups a day), enough food that contains fiber, to prevent constipation , salt, without limitation, avoiding alcohol, food that you like and eat in a pleasant atmosphere. Drinking enough calories needed for weight gain at the appropriate time when your calorie intake below the requirements of their body weight loss occurs. Best of all, when a pregnant woman is getting enough calories so that its weight is gradually increased. The magnitude of weight gain depends on the weight before pregnancy and how many children to be born. (For more information about weight gain is given in Chapter 7.) Changes in appetite. If you stick to healthy eating and your weight increases in line with the norm, you need not worry about calories. If the weight increases are not quite uniformly, the reasons for the unrest there, too. During pregnancy, your appetite may change. Often normal speed weight gain due to the fact that a woman eats when feeling hungry and stops eating when he begins to feel satiated. Because this method can not be right for all women need to monitor weight gain. Do you have a healthy diet? Since the concept of healthy nutrition during pregnancy involves several different aspects that need to systematically evaluate your diet. This will allow you to determine whether you need to change something in the power system or you are doing the right weight. If you read Chapter 4, which talks about nutrition before conception and during the first months of pregnancy, you're already acquainted with the method of assessing the power system. Do this even if you measure its power system in early pregnancy, because at this stage of weight gain and nutritional needs are very different. Evaluation of your diet. To make this assessment, you should first think about what you eat and drink every day. If your diet every day is different, record a few days. Using the form of table 5.1, write down everything you eat and drink, from the moment of awakening, throughout the day until bedtime. If you do so it will be convenient, carry a paper and write down everything you consume in a day or several days. Carefully record amount of food consumed and calorie content. This may help information on the product packaging. Then compare your consumption data with standards established by the Pyramid - a guide to product selection. Table 5.2 provides a form for recording the data. Make a mark in the appropriate section of the food groups each serving, you have eaten for the day. Products such as meat sauce, mayonnaise, margarine, potato chips, bacon, fatty desserts and sweets are a group of "Animal and vegetable fats and sweets." The material on groups of products can be found in Table 2.9 in Chapter 2. Pay attention to portion size - they are usually less than you expect. A more complete list of standard drinks are shown in Table 2.8. If you eat mixed dishes such as pizza, roast vegetables or tacos stuffed with meat and vegetables, lay a dish on the individual components and record the amount eaten by your products of each ingredient. Then write down every ingredient in the appropriate product group. Put together the number of servings you eat, belonging to one group of products, and compare the results with the recommended standards. You did it! You have done an assessment of their diet during pregnancy. If your results show that you eat according to recommended standards and gain weight at a reasonable rate, all is going well. Then you can skip the next paragraph. Our well you have an unbalanced diet or weight gain is not as it should be, think about what you need to change. Select from each group of foods that you like. Then decide where you could eat them, and if your diet contains too many servings of foods of any single group, think about what they can be replaced. Suppose you do not have one serving of vegetables. We also assume that you love fresh carrots and tiny sweet tomatoes, and could eat them more often. Therefore, instead of chocolates you can eat quite a cup of chopped carrots and tomatoes. If you want to revise the list of products in the main groups in order for something to replace, see Table 2.9 in Chapter 2. With the same purpose, find recipes for healthy eating in Appendix A. If your weight behind the rules, make up for a plan to consume more food during the main meals, as well as between them. If the weight increases too quickly, decide for yourself what products or quantity of portions to be cut. The more detailed your plan is and the more acceptable it will be for you, the more likely that these changes are real and that you'll actually follow them. Do not restrict salt intake of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology believe that restricting salt intake during pregnancy is not only useful but also can harm. During this period, women did not have to reduce their salt intake. Pregnant women who previously suffered from hypertension should monitor the amount of salt in their diet. These women are a doctor, to whom they are under surveillance, is to give advice on salt intake. Give up alcohol enjoy food you can borrow something from the recommendations of the Japanese dietitians. The last recommendation states: "Do not miss dinner parties and dinners, at which communication and food gives you pleasure." Forever busy, we sometimes forget about the joy that delivers good food in a society of relatives and friends. Treat eating with due care and enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bon Appetit! Nutrients necessary DURING PREGNANCY It is important that during pregnancy, nutrient intake was adequate. However, you must pay attention to some of them, because they are usually in the diet of pregnant women found in small quantities. You will notice that the protein is not included in the list of those substances. This is because the diet of American women of proteins is usually sufficient. If you feel that your diet lacks protein, or any other nutrients, see tables 2.2 - 2.5 and Appendix B and compare with the norms of the amount consumed by you. As a guideline, use table 5.3, which shows the recommended intakes of nutrients for pregnant women. Main nutrients N 1: Folate folate - a B vitamin that you need to be taken before conception and during the first months of pregnancy in sufficient quantities. It will have to use in later stages of pregnancy. Consumption of the required number of folate (400 mcg or 0.4 mg daily) helps prevent the development of certain types of anemia and promotes the growth of tissues and organs of the fetus. It is necessary for the formation of protein tissue, like a mother and child. The word "folate" comes from the Latin "Foley mind" - a sheet. The first time, folate was found in spinach, it is found in many leafy vegetables. However, it can be found in other products, which are neither leaf nor green. It is also found in broccoli, oranges, bananas, milk and dried beans. In one portion of fruit and vegetables is usually 42 micrograms of folate. Cereal and cereal for breakfast usually vitaminizing folic acid (folate view) is a good absorbent. Cleaned grain foods such as bread, cereal, white rice, crackers and pasta, be sure to have in their composition added folic acid. In each of these portions of grain products contain about 40 micrograms of folic acid. So if you consume daily 5 servings of fruits and vegetables and 6 servings of grain products, the total amount of folate, and probably will make the recommended norm, that is 400 mcg. The main nutrient number 2: Vitamin D Women who drink a day for three or more cups of milk or soy milk, enriched with vitamin D, or stay in the sun for 1-2 hours a week in summer, get enough vitamin D for normal pregnancy . Women with darker skin need two hours or more per week in the sun to get enough vitamin D. Interestingly, when our skin is under direct sunlight, the body can itself produce vitamin D. Since much of vitamin D we get from milk and sunlight, then women who do not drink milk or do not happen in the sun, living in cold climates or closing completely the body of clothing, are at risk to suffer from a lack of vitamin D. Under the weak rays of the sun in cold climates is practically no vitamin D is produced. (Data from that in winter in northern climates under weak sunlight vitamin D in the skin is not formed, have been published recently. Professor of Boston sent a few graduate students sunbathing on the roof of the building in the middle of winter. The result: in addition to colds, the students did not received. The sun's rays were too weak for them to have a developed a skin vitamin D.) periodically reports that children whose mothers were not under the influence of sunlight and do not drink milk, developed rickets. In the United States from all dairy products only in the milk is added vitamin D. Vitamin D in the amount of 40 IU per serving is also added to some types of cereals and cereal for breakfast. Because it adds no means in all kinds of cereals and cereal, it is necessary to look at the labels on the data. For pregnant women, is considered sufficient rate 400 international units of vitamin D per day. Vitamin D promotes the growth of the fetus, strengthen bones (calcium supplementation in bone tissue), the formation of teeth and tooth enamel. However, we must know when to stop. Vitamin D intake from poor and as an additive in total should not exceed 1000 Intl. units. a day on a regular basis. Main nutrients N 3: iron in pregnant women is a great need for iron, because it is used for the formation of hemoglobin in red blood cells and fetal growth. That is why the recommended intake of iron during pregnancy - a huge amount - 30 mg. Most women consume less than half that amount, and usually conception occurs when a woman is not a sufficient supply of iron in the body. As a result, all pregnant women are advised to take iron supplements. Women can get enough iron from the diet, but you need to carefully select products. One of the easiest ways to obtain iron is the enrichment of cereals and breakfast cereals with iron. In one portion of these products contain 18 mg of iron per serving. In other types of similar products is on the A-5 mg per serving. The absorption of iron from grain products can be in two or three times higher if the cereal flakes or consumed together with sources of vitamin C such as orange and grapefruit juice. The absorption of iron from plant foods such as kale, turnips, kale, asparagus, black-eyed peas, dried beans and spinach, also increases if they are eaten with foods containing vitamin C. Appendix B provides a list of useful products that generate iron and vitamin C. It should be noted that the recommended rates of iron based on its consumption, rather than assimilated quantity. Iron derived from meat is absorbed better than from plant products. An average serving of red meat weighing 85 grams (about the size of a deck of cards) contains 3 mg of iron, and a portion of fish or poultry weighing 85 g - 1 mg of iron. Excellent source of iron (85 g contains 7.5 mg of iron) is the liver, but because it is rich in vitamin A, it is not sleduet4 is more often than once a week. A good source of iron are also cast iron pans because of their use of the iron goes into the food. Although it is difficult to say exactly what amount of iron absorbed by the food during its preparation, but probably, if the cooking takes 10-15 minutes, then each portion of food has a few milligrams. These acidic foods, such as tomatoes and applesauce contribute to greater release of iron from the pan than, say, potatoes and eggs. If you bought a new cast-iron skillet, it ignited the fire by pouring into it a little vegetable oil before you start to use it. Cast iron pans are washed with hot water (no soap) and then ignited! on fire. That the food does not stick, skillet before using to lubricate with oil. Maybe a friend or relative telling you how to bring a new cast-iron skillet to perfection. Now this art is being lost. The main nutrient number 4: Zinc Recommended rate of zinc for pregnant women is 15 mg per day, but most women typically consume 10-12 mg. Zinc and iron are contained in the same foods (meat, fortified cereals and cereal for breakfast and dried beans). Normal levels of zinc in the body of pregnant helps fight infectious diseases, facilitates the birth process and promotes the growth of the fetus. Main nutrients N 5: calcium calcium - an important nutritional supplement for women who do not drink for 3 or more servings of dairy products or fortified soy milk a day without consuming these products, it is difficult to get to 12 (H) mg of calcium per day. In Appendix B you will find a list of products containing calcium, which can help you choose something that will provide the necessary quantity of this useful substance. Lack of calcium in the mother's diet does not cause such harm to bone growth, as insufficient amounts of vitamin D. If calcium intake is insufficient, the need of the fetus will be met by the calcium from bone tissue of the mother. Proved that the result of low calcium intake may be the emergence of high blood pressure during pregnancy. Main nutrients N 6: Vitamin C Women who smoke need more vitamin C than those who did not smoke. Smokers should consume in a day, about 200 mg of vitamin C, while non-smokers rather 70 mg. You can get 200 mg of vitamin C from 3-4 servings of foods that contain vitamin C, namely: kiwi, oranges, orange juice, cantaloupe, grapefruit, grapefruit juice, green peppers, cauliflower, broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

Normal levels of zinc in the body of pregnant helps fight infectious diseases, facilitates the birth process and promotes the growth of the fetus. Main nutrients N 5: calcium calcium - an important nutritional supplement for women who do not drink for 3 or more servings of dairy products or fortified soy milk a day without consuming these products, it is difficult to get to 12 (H) mg of calcium per day. In Appendix B you will find a list of products containing calcium, which can help you choose something that will provide the necessary quantity of this useful substance. Lack of calcium in the mother's diet does not cause such harm to bone growth, as insufficient amounts of vitamin D. If calcium intake is insufficient, the need of the fetus will be met by the calcium from bone tissue of the mother. Proved that the result of low calcium intake may be the emergence of high blood pressure during pregnancy. Main nutrients N 6: Vitamin C Women who smoke need more vitamin C than those who did not smoke. Smokers should consume in a day, about 200 mg of vitamin C, while non-smokers rather 70 mg. You can get 200 mg of vitamin C from 3-4 servings of foods that contain vitamin C, namely: kiwi, oranges, orange juice, cantaloupe, grapefruit, grapefruit juice, green peppers, cauliflower, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. But, of course, it would be preferable to reduce the need for vitamin C, to stop smoking. There are other advantages in the consumption of foods rich in vitamin C. These foods are usually present and other useful substances that reduce the risk of infectious and other diseases. Cyotrophy Woman abide by the principles of healthy nutrition, is able to provide adequate nutrition to their unborn child. When you eat, nutrients are consumed with food, do not go directly to the fetus. The body processes these nutrients, making them acceptable for use, and then primarily addresses the need for their mother. For example, if iron stores in the mother are at a low level or if not enough vitamin D, entering the body vitamin D and iron, primarily will be used for the needs of the mother. When the mother's needs would be met, a further priority is given to the placenta. Once the placenta has an adequate supply of nutrients for normal growth and functioning and the fetus gets access to nutrients. So that the fetus receives nutrients from the diet of the mother in the first place. Priority in the diet of the mother to the fetus due to organic food. Mother nature, above all, cares about the health of the manufacturer. For optimal growth of the fetus supply system must take into account the needs, both mother and fetus. The most common questions about nutrition and pregnancy in this section highlights issues commonly asked by pregnant women. Questions are divided into four categories: regular meals, food you can eat or should be avoided; appetite and cravings for certain foods, diet and changes in the woman's body. Of course, not all of the issues raised in this section come to mind. You'll get answers to them before you will need to ask them. Normal food QUESTION. How much should I eat during pregnancy? ANSWER. Enough to gain weight in accordance with the norm. The amount of food, which should consume a woman during pregnancy depends on the level of physical activity and other factors. May not be such a weight gain that would be optimal for all women. QUESTION. How do I know whether I'm eating enough? ANSWER. This is usually determined by weight gain. If this is the norm, then most likely you are to eat properly. Sometimes, women are gaining excessive weight (corrected for 1 kg or more per week), while they do not eat very much. Weight increases due to water retention in the body. If this occurs, women have been swelling the lower legs and hands. In this case, you should not rely on weight as an indicator of how much or how little you eat. In this situation needed to be guided by your appetite - there is a staple, or at least not to restrict food intake. Too large, unexpected weight gain can signal a problem with high blood pressure. If that happens, be sure to inform your doctor, who you are under surveillance. QUESTION. Before pregnancy I was overweight. Do I need to have as much as other women? ANSWER. You need to have enough to provide a gradual weight gain. If you become pregnant, when your weight exceeds the norm by 30%, weight gain, you should be about 250 grams per week. During pregnancy - a bad time to lose weight, no matter how much weight have you had before pregnancy. QUESTION. I am a vegetarian. What should I do? ANSWER. A vegetarian diet can be quite acceptable during pregnancy. However, the need to monitor the consumption of vitamin Bp, vitamin D), calcium, iron and zinc, as well as for weight gain. Table of recommended consumption rates of nutrients during pregnancy (Table 5.1) and table foods containing nutrients (Chapter 2) may help you estimate the intake of these essential nutrients. The information in Chapter 7 will give the answer to the question how should increase your weight. " Good sources of essential nutrients are fortified soy milk and cereals for breakfast. Recommend that you carefully read the information on the labels of these products. If necessary, you can take multi-tivitaminy and mineral supplements. Unless you are diagnosed with deficiency of certain nutrients, it is best to take supplements containing no more than 100% of recommended consumption rates of nutrients during pregnancy. Vegetarian protein intake is well enough, if one adheres to the recommendations of the Pyramid - guidance on the choice of food. QUESTION. Would not it be the unborn child taken out of my body what it needs, no matter what I eat? ANSWER. Fetus does not behave like a parasite. What you eat is very important. Maternal nutrition and supply of nutrients must be adequate to the needs, both mother and growing fetus. If the available supply of energy or nutrients is inadequate, especially their mother receives. This system is programmed allocation of energy and nutrients during pregnancy cares about the welfare of the mother, delivering the utmost importance to health of the manufacturer. There have been cases when women without any signs of nutritional deficiency children born with various illnesses caused by lack of nutritional factors. QUESTION. Or the placenta protects the baby from harmful substances that may be contained in the diet of the mother '? ANSWER. To some extent, yes. But the placenta may protect the fetus from all harmful substances. For example, alcohol and excessive amounts of food additives are transferred to the fetus and can cause him harm. You can not rely on the protection of placenta at 100%. QUESTION. Do not tell me my own body, what foods should I eat during pregnancy? ANSWER. No inner voice that prompted a woman, what products it should have during pregnancy, does not exist. Women make decisions about nutrition from the experience of generations. QUESTION. How much do I need to consume protein? ANSWER. In accordance with recommended standards of the day you should be getting 60 grams of protein. If you are a vegetarian, you need 70-80, in the U.S., for example, pregnant women usually consume 70-80 grams per day, which is a good level.
