NUTRITION DURING PREGNANCY AND PREGNANCY

We emphasize that nutrition is important throughout our lives. Similarly, nutrition is very important for the health of the mother and baby during the pregnancy period and the breastfeeding period that it brings. With a healthy nutrient intake of the mother, she will feel more physically and spiritually and thus support the development of her baby. As a result of the wrong diet; preterm birth, stillbirth, physical development of the baby, mental development failure, mother's weakness, fatigue, lack of vitamins, health problems that may occur due to the decrease in the stores in the body and mentally uneasy.

Pregnant mothers should be fed gradually and frequently in order to prevent their problems such as nausea and vomiting that they will experience in the early stages. I recommend that they eat 1 slice of lean cheese and 1-2 pieces of meat or galete before breakfast. This will partially prevent nausea that will occur in the morning or later in the day. Directly loading the stomach can increase vomiting and nausea, as it can increase stomach acidity. 1-2 hours after this small snack, you can start the day with breakfast. For those who experience extreme nausea, limit your meals to one or two varieties. Do not consume raw vegetables with food. Drink fluid intake half an hour before eating or 1 hour after eating. Restrict oil and seasoning in your meals.

The daily feeding period should consist of adequate and balanced nutrition. In other words, milk and dairy products, meat and meat products, cereal group and vegetable-fruit consumption should be paid attention regularly.

They should consume 3 portions of milk and dairy products daily, at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetable consumption, 8-15 portions of cereal group and at least 4-5 portions of meat and meat products.

In the first 3 months of pregnancy, it is necessary to organize nutrition programs to prevent nausea. In addition, nutrition programs are organized in a way to ensure that those who have excess weight problems lose 1-2 kilos monthly. Now, at the end of the first 3 months, proper and healthy nutrition is targeted in order to increase the food stores, which decrease with the development of the baby and the increase of the appetite of the mother.

In the first 3 months of pregnancy, women are recommended to take 500 g or 1.5 kg monthly according to BMI (body mass index) and 1.5 kg -2 kg monthly in the following months.

Processed products, ready-to-eat foods, excessive sugars, and high-fat foods should be avoided during pregnancy. The feeding habits of the baby are formed when the mother is 4 months old. Therefore, in order to gain healthy eating habits for your baby in the development process after birth, be careful to be fed during pregnancy.

Especially in the last 3 months, there will be edema caused by the hormone estrogen and progesterone. 8-10 glasses of water should be consumed daily and salt should be limited. Attention should be paid to the consumption of high-salt foods such as pickles, pickled, sausage, salami and offal. In the following periods, risk of preeclampsia may occur with blood pressure problem.

They should eat fish 2 days a week, red meat 2 days, chicken 1-2 days or legumes 1-2 days.

Prospective mothers with low blood values ​​can consume freshly squeezed juice if there is not much greenery and weight problems or diabetes in meat consumption. They should consume tea and coffee 1 hour after meals.

Regular calcium intake during pregnancy protects against bone loss at a later age. Therefore, 3 glasses of milk or milk should be consumed during the day. Consuming 1 cup of cinnamon milk before going to bed, especially at night, will provide a comfortable sleep and satiety and will keep calcium in the body.

They can consume foods high in potassium such as bananas, potatoes, kiwi, raw almonds, cocoa sweets, raw cashews for cramps that occur in the body.

Pregnant women who have constipation should prefer foods with high fiber content. Eat the fruit itself instead of the juice, I recommend that you consume kefir or probiotic yogurt by adding flaxseed and oatmeal or dried fruits.

Iron supplements used after the 4th month of pregnancy should not be consumed with milk or between meals. Because calcium reduces the absorption of iron.

During breastfeeding; Adequate and balanced nutrition programs should be organized as during pregnancy. For the development of the baby and the health of the mother, she needs to eat correctly and lose the weight she gained.

Between 2.5-3 liters of water should be consumed per day for milk formation. Desserts, snacks and junk with sherbet should be replaced by plenty of greenery, fruit, milk and dairy products.

Milk dessert, compote can be preferred provided that it is 1-2 days a week.

If necessary, legumes should not be consumed in the first month to prevent the baby's gas problem. Gas-producing vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage should be cooked thoroughly.

Caffeine intake should be restricted. Alcohol and cigarettes should never be consumed.

Oilseeds such as water, oatmeal, quince, fennel tea, sesame, dried fig, chickpea, carrot, milk with cinnamon, yogurt, raisins, spinach, hazelnut-peanut-bade-cashewr, radishes, onions, garlic, dates, carrots are the recommended foods during breastfeeding, provided that they are consumed constrained.
