Neither for excess weight gain, nor for forgetfulness, nor for whim: the embassy must avoid starving because this can affect the development of pregnancy and to the health of the fetus. Even going hungry during pregnancy has been linked to health problems in the adult life of the future child.
Although it is not healthy to gain excessive weight, it is not necessary to go hungry to control that increase in kilos during pregnancy and stay at an ideal weight, since eating a healthy and balanced diet, in addition to practicing exercise, we will control this point.
It is normal have more appetite during pregnancy that in other stages of life, our body needs more energy input because a life inside us is brewing. Therefore, in the face of irresistible hunger during pregnancy, choose healthy snacks.
Make five light meals a day (or three stronger meals and two healthy snacks that alleviate hunger), eat lots of fruit and vegetables that will help you maintain weight, provide vitamins and other necessary nutrients, as well as fiber to be better.
Eat food from all groups but in fair portions, neither excessive nor scarce. Drink plenty of water and natural juices that will help you stay hydrated. The case is not go hungry during pregnancy to avoid taking risks, from dizziness or low blood pressure to premature births.
And it is that fasting during the final phase of pregnancy (due to religious reasons or other reasons) has been linked to an increase in premature births in some studies, although in others this influence is ruled out. What is clear is that babies are born with a lower body weight than those of mothers who do not fast.
Another issue is the famine that mothers go through need, either in times of crisis or in developing countries. This famine in the first trimester of pregnancy, which can affect the brain development of the fetus, has been linked to an increased risk of addictions and disorders such as schizophrenia in children.
Be that as it may, since we would not think of starving our babies or children, we should not do so either during pregnancy: avoid going hungry during pregnancy and it will be a healthier stage, for you and for the baby.
