Baby’s development depends on maternal nutrition, so a diet of pregnant women is very important. Doctors recommend a varied, rich in vitamins, easily digested meal. The diet of pregnant women does not differ very much from the diet before the pregnancy, but it should be enriched, especially in vitamins.

During pregnancy, a woman gains weight about 10 kg, an average of 1 kg per month, or 250 g per week. So, experts offer pregnant women a balanced mama diet containing all nutrients: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. But overeating, leading to an excessive increase of body weight is contraindicated. A mama will feel tired, if during pregnancy she would not have the necessary amount of protein, and significant protein deficiency can cause anemia, liver damage, and edema. Proteins may be found in eggs, cheese and fish. Daily demand can be provided 125-150 g of meat, one egg and 500 ml of milk or dairy products (yogurt, cheese, etc.). You should exclude fatty or salty cheeses and choose lean meat (chicken, chicken, turkey, and beef), avoiding eating fatty meats and seasoned meat dishes. Meat and eggs are the most important sources of protein and almost have the same value. Eggs are also rich in iron and vitamins. Potatoes and vegetables (beans, peas) also provide the body proteins, vitamins and mineral salts. Normal amount of fat is 57 grams per day for an ordinary woman; you should not exceed this level during pregnancy. And also you should avoid too much fatty food. It would be better to stew meat and vegetables than to fry these meals.

Necessary amount of carbohydrate is 390 per day. Doctors recommend buying these carbohydrates that contain vitamins and minerals (it is fresh fruits and vegetables). The need for vitamins increases during maternity. Varied diet that includes abundant fresh vegetables and fruits can satisfy the even pregnant woman’s needs in vitamins.
