What to do if a pregnant woman is too fat

Most people think that pregnant women should be a little fatter so that the baby they give birth to will be white and plump. In fact, obesity during pregnancy is not a good thing for expectant mothers. It is understood that obesity in pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy can lead to a variety of complications such as hypertension, and may also cause difficult labor or miscarriage. Therefore, pregnant women should try their best to avoid abnormal weight gain. What should I do if a pregnant woman is too fat?

1. Control the amount of food intake: Obese pregnant women should control the amount of food intake, the most important thing is to control the amount of sugar and high-fat foods they eat. The amount of rice, pasta and other grains that pregnant women eat every day should not exceed the daily standard supply. For animal foods, you can choose more meats with relatively low fat content, such as chicken, fish, shrimp, eggs, and milk. Correspondingly, you should choose less pork, beef, and mutton with relatively high fat content. Eat red meat if you can avoid it. Eat two-legged animals instead of four-legged animals, and eat one-legged animals instead of two-legged animals (fungi).

2. Balanced diet: Pregnant women can add some beans to their daily food, which can ensure the supply of protein and control the amount of fat. Also, eat less fried foods, nuts, and seeds. This type of food is also high in fat. One egg a day is enough

3. Monitor your weight at all times: In the late stages of pregnancy, the rate at which pregnant women gain weight should be slightly slower than in the middle stages. Generally, the weight gain is about 1 kg per month. Pregnant women should weigh themselves at any time to avoid excessive obesity. If a pregnant woman gains weight rapidly, with a weekly weight gain of more than 500 grams, she may become obese, which is usually caused by excessive fat intake. Of course, eating too little is not good either. It is reasonable to gain one kilogram per month.

4. Increase the number of prenatal checkups: Since obese pregnant women are more susceptible to diseases and are at risk of premature birth and giving birth to large babies, they should pay more attention to prenatal checkups than ordinary pregnant women and the number of prenatal checkups can be appropriately increased. This is the most important thing. Instead of waiting until you gain weight to have more prenatal checkups, it is better to control your diet from the beginning. Pregnant women have a misunderstanding that they can finally eat whatever they want when they are pregnant. In fact, you are not eating for yourself, but for adults and children. Eating too much may not be good for the child. On the contrary, you should strictly control your diet. The growth of the child is the most important in these ten months. Don't eat randomly.
