''Eat healthy and nutritious food” is what you have been hearing during your pregnancy from everyone. You need to have extra nutrients in the form of healthy food and supplements to promote your baby’s growth. In fact, you need 300-350 extra calories each day. During the 30th week, your unborn baby continues to gain weight slowly and steadily, so you now need more energy and calories.
Food is one of the most important things for you to take care of. Iron is such an important nutrient during pregnancy and plays an important role in your baby’s development. Eat iron-rich food such as eggs, oily fish, dark green leafy veggies, dried fruits, etc. If the iron level in your body is not up to the mark, then your doctor must have prescribed you with iron supplements, so do not forget to take your supplement.
Don’t skip any meals as an empty stomach may cause acidity and heartburns. Moreover, you will feel tired or restless and your energy level may go down.
Drink plenty of water. Include healthy shakes and smoothies in your diet. Poor and less nutritious diet may impact the growth of your baby. You need to make sure to have extra protein and calcium to meet the growing needs of your tiny one. Dairy products are the richest source of calcium.
Yogurt is extremely healthy for expecting ladies so start including it in your diet to meet the needs of calcium in your body. To meet the need for extra protein and fiber, eat plenty of lentils, peas, chickpeas, soya, and peanuts. Zinc requirements of your body also increase almost by 50% during pregnancy. Deficiency of zinc is linked with birth defects and premature delivery.
