Some pregnant women ask doctors to evaluate the weight of their fetus based on the examination results. When the weight of the fetus does not match the gestational age, the mother will start to worry. If the fetus is overweight, the mother will reduce the intake of supplements, while if the fetus is light, the mother should eat some nutritious food. So, how to compensate for low fetal weight?
1. Sweet potatoes: Pregnant women can eat more sweet potatoes when the fetal weight is light, because sweet potatoes contain a wide range of nutrients, not only starch and dietary fiber, but also carotenoids and vitamin A B、C、E。 Therefore, pregnant women who eat sweet potatoes can provide sufficient and comprehensive nutrition for the fetus, which can help the fetus grow better and increase its weight. Moreover, pregnant women who eat sweet potatoes do not gain meat, so they can eat more.
2. Durian: Durian contains a high amount of calories and sugar. If durian is frequently consumed during pregnancy, it can lead to an increase in maternal blood sugar, excessive fetal weight, and even result in a large fetus. Therefore, when the fetal weight is light, pregnant women can eat more durian, which can promote fetal growth and gradually increase fetal weight.
3. Eggs: Eggs also contain a wide range of nutrients, especially protein. The protein in eggs not only meets the protein requirements of both the fetus and the mother, but also benefits the development of the fetal brain. Therefore, when the fetal weight is light, pregnant women who insist on eating 2 eggs a day will gradually increase the fetal weight.
