During normal pregnancy, there are general guidelines for dietary do's and don'ts, as well as specific guidelines for common pregnancy conditions. This includes common pregnancy conditions such as morning sickness, restless fetal movement, bleeding, and swelling. For less common pregnancy conditions, such as eclampsia, cough, irritability, stagnation, obstruction, as well as urinary blood, enuresis, dysentery, malaria, and hiccup, the general dietary guidelines for pregnancy can be followed.
Dietary Guidelines: During a normal pregnancy, it is recommended to consume high-protein, vitamin-rich, fiber-rich, and low-salt foods, while avoiding high-fat and overly salty foods. It is also recommended to consume easily digestible and juicy foods, while avoiding raw, cold, and cooling foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables are recommended, while spicy, pungent, oily, or fried foods that generate heat and harm Yin should be avoided. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided, especially strong alcoholic beverages.
Dietary Considerations in Late Pregnancy
1. Increase intake of legume proteins, such as tofu and soy milk;
2. Consume more seafood, such as kelp and seaweed; animal offal and nuts are also good choices;
3. Pay attention to salt and water intake to prevent edema and pregnancy-induced hypertension;
4. Choose nutrient-dense foods with smaller volume, such as animal-based foods, and reduce consumption of low-nutrient-dense foods with larger volume, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes;
5. Limit consumption of high-energy foods, such as white sugar and honey, to prevent decreased appetite and hindered intake of other nutrients;
6. Pregnant women with edema should limit daily salt intake to less than 5 grams.
Pregnancy and Ultrasound Examination
Pregnancy Check-ups: Antenatal Care Examination
By measuring weight, blood pressure, uterine height, abdominal circumference, and listening to fetal heartbeat, the health status of the pregnant woman and the growth and development of the fetus can be monitored.
Purpose of check-ups: To monitor the health status of the pregnant woman and the growth and development of the fetus.
Examination contents: Weight measurement, blood pressure measurement, uterine height measurement, abdominal circumference measurement, and fetal heartbeat monitoring.
Price: Around 5 yuan (prices may vary depending on the location)
Timing of check-ups: From the 3rd month to the 7th month of pregnancy, once a month; from the 8th month of pregnancy, once every 2 weeks; from the 9th month of pregnancy, once a week. If there are pregnancy-related conditions, more frequent check-ups may be necessary.
