Menu for nutrition during pregnancy
The formation and development of the fetus depends on the quality of the food that the mother uses. After all, during the entire stay in the mother's tummy, the child's muscles, bones, teeth, brain, nervous system and so on are formed. This is very important for the continued existence of the child, so during pregnancy, it is necessary to comply with the diet and follow the rules listed below:
- do not use allergic products;
- Do not introduce new foods and drinks into the diet;
- Avoid foods that contain dyes and preservatives;
- give up exotic cuisine;
- Do not eat foods with a pungent smell and taste;

Also in this difficult period for the body it is better to eat more often, but less. This - a fractional food, with which during pregnancy you can control weight gain and not overload the body.
A very important point in pregnancy is a separate diet . Using the incompatible products in the diet, the body is difficult to cope with this, because the functioning of the endocrine glands is disrupted. As a result, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur, which greatly damages the body of a woman.
