Many mothers feel uncomfortable when they first become pregnant, often unable to take a few bites during meals, or even unable to eat at all. Especially some greasy foods. I really like to eat when I'm not pregnant, but when I'm pregnant, I lose my appetite. These are common reactions of pregnant mothers at this time. But is it normal to have no appetite throughout the entire pregnancy?
When the appetite is poor during pregnancy, pregnant women must first adjust their mentality. Attitude improves, everything is fine. Secondly, in the case of poor appetite during pregnancy, family members or oneself should try to improve cooking methods by increasing the color, aroma, and taste of food to stimulate appetite, and try to choose the food you want to eat.
Also, when pregnant women have poor appetite, they can eat less and eat more. When you are hungry, you can drink some milk, eat more fruits and vegetables to ensure that the other person does not lack the necessary nutrients during pregnancy.
During pregnancy, due to the action of estrogen, the smooth muscle peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract decreases and weakens, and the gastric emptying time is prolonged. This causes pregnant women to feel full easily, so they do not want to eat. At this time, pregnant women can engage in some appropriate exercises to promote bowel movements, such as slow walking, practicing yoga, etc., to promote blood circulation throughout the body and promote intestinal peristalsis. Intestinal peristalsis accelerates the forward movement of food in the intestine, promotes digestion of food, and prevents constipation from occurring.
