Do you know how many months the second trimester is?

Most people who have not given birth to a baby do not know when the second trimester is. Even some expectant mothers and mothers who have given birth are not clear about the time of the second trimester. However, it is very important to know when the second trimester is. At this time, you will have a better understanding of eating the right food in a targeted manner. So what is the time? Let me introduce it to you.

During the second trimester of pregnancy, from the 13th to the 27th week, pregnant women should follow the pyramid of balanced dietary nutritional supplements, generally 6 to 11 servings of cereals, 3 to 5 servings of vegetables and fruits, and 2 to 3 servings of protein such as milk, dairy products, and meat. Fat and desserts should be consumed in small amounts. Undernutrition is now more common than overnutrition. Overnutrition needs our attention. The weight gain in mid-pregnancy is generally controlled at 0.3 to 0.5 kg per week. Due to the rapid growth and development of the fetus, the demand for various nutrients will increase accordingly, so expectant mothers in the second trimester need to supplement rich nutrition, such as protein, vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the intake of these substances appropriately, eat more eggs, dairy products, meat, whole grains, vegetables and fruits to ensure the development of the fetus.

The third trimester refers to the period from the 28th week of pregnancy to the end of delivery (40 weeks), which includes the three months of pregnancy: August, September and October. (30-32 weeks) - After entering the late pregnancy, the intensity of fetal movement will gradually weaken. Experts say: In the late pregnancy, pregnant women should pay attention to the number of fetal movements, not the strength of the fetal movements. Because in the late stage, the baby has grown in size and can only bend his limbs, and there is no extra space in the uterus for the fetus to move in the mother's belly. Therefore, it is normal for the fetal movement to weaken. Under normal circumstances, the average number of fetal movements in the morning, afternoon and evening is 5-10 times. Less than 5 times is abnormal. Pregnant women should feel the fetal movement in a quiet environment and relax. Of course, the late pregnancy is when the fetus is most likely to have problems. If conditions permit, fetal heart rate monitoring can be performed regularly once a week after 36 weeks of pregnancy. In the last three months of pregnancy, the fetus grows fast and needs adequate nutrition, so the dietary principles for pregnant women at this time are: 1. Do not be picky eaters and do not restrict your diet; 2. Do not eat too much sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, or salty food, eat small meals frequently, and choose easily digestible foods; 3. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and fish, meat, and eggs are essential.

Well, after the simple introduction above, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of when the second trimester is. I hope everyone eats the right food at the right time. Symptomatic diet therapy is good for both mother and child, so expectant mothers and fathers should also make the right preparations.
