What should I do if I have severe pregnancy reactions?

For female friends, getting pregnant and having children are the top priorities in life. Therefore, pregnant women should pay attention to some matters during pregnancy, such as balanced nutrition. Pregnant women will also experience pregnancy reactions, which are temporary. They may experience dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, fatigue and other uncomfortable adverse symptoms, which make pregnant women feel particularly painful. What should they do if the pregnancy reactions are strong? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What to do if pregnancy reaction is strong

1. Eat a light diet and eat small and frequent meals. Pregnant women with severe reactions should not eat too much, as eating too much can cause vomiting. They should eat small meals frequently and eat when they are hungry or want to eat.

2. Eat sour foods. Sour foods can help boost appetite and relieve vomiting reactions. You can eat tomato and egg noodles, lemonade, and some sour fruits in moderation.

3. Don’t abstain from food excessively. As a woman in the early stages of pregnancy, your appetite is already poor, so except for things that are harmful to the body, it is best not to abstain from food excessively. You can eat a little of whatever you want.

4. If the vomiting is really severe, you can take some vitamin B6 in moderation to relieve vomiting during pregnancy, but it is best not to eat too much.

5. Relax. When they first become pregnant, some women may be too nervous. Being too nervous will also affect the pregnancy reaction. Therefore, you must learn to relax. You can listen to music or read a book. This will not only relax your mood, but also divert your attention.

6. Get more rest and avoid overwork. You should not be too tired in the early stages of pregnancy, as the reaction will become more serious if you are too tired.

2. The diet during pregnancy should be arranged according to its special nutritional characteristics:

(1) Consume adequate energy. After entering the middle stage of pregnancy, the need for heat energy increases, and the food intake should be increased accordingly.

(2) Consume adequate amounts of high-quality protein. Protein is an important nutrient for the human body. It participates in the formation of fetal tissues and organs, regulates important physiological functions, enhances the mother's resistance, and maintains fetal brain development. Therefore, the intake of meat, eggs, milk, and legumes should be increased in the diet to ensure the supply of high-quality protein.

(3) Consume an appropriate amount of fat, mainly vegetable oils. During pregnancy, in addition to providing energy to pregnant women, fat also participates in the formation of human tissues, especially providing phospholipids and cholesterol necessary for fetal growth and development. However, too much fat may produce high heat energy and cause obesity in pregnant women. Animal fat contains more saturated fatty acids, which may cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular sclerosis. Therefore, an appropriate amount of plant fat should be consumed.

(4) Sugar is essential. As the main source of energy, carbohydrate intake should ensure 55-60% of the total energy required to save protein and allow it to play a better role. At the same time, carbohydrates are the main component of nerve tissue and cell nuclei. They are also indispensable nutrients for major organs such as the heart and brain, and have the function of protecting the liver and detoxifying.

(5) Take vitamins in moderation. Vitamins can regulate the metabolism of substances in the human body. The required amount is very small, but they are closely related to human health. During pregnancy, the need for vitamins increases, and the amount of vitamins you take in your diet should be increased. However, excessive intake of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) may cause poisoning, which is harmful to the fetus, so you should be careful to consume it in moderation.

(6) Pay attention to reasonable nutritional combinations and balanced diet. The diet of pregnant women must be rich in various nutrients, with a reasonable balance of nutrients, neither insufficient nor excessive. Malnutrition can lead to fetal growth retardation or miscarriage, while overnutrition can lead to fetal macrosomia and various complications, resulting in dystocia.

3. Notes

Reasonable nutrition should ensure that the diet meets the needs of pregnancy and childbirth in terms of both quality and quantity. At the same time, pay attention to the diversity of diet, and make a combination of coarse and fine foods, meat and vegetables, and be neither partial nor picky about food.
