After pregnancy, the fetus develops by absorbing nutrients from the pregnant woman's body. Some pregnant women may be overweight while the fetus is relatively small. Many pregnant women constantly supplement nutrients for the health of the fetus, resulting in a distorted body shape. So why do pregnant women gain weight while their fetuses are still small?
There are many reasons why the fetus is relatively small. If pregnant women smoke or drink alcohol during pregnancy, these bad habits will affect the normal development of the fetus. Placental abnormalities are also a cause of a relatively small fetus, which can affect the blood supply to the fetus. In severe cases, the life of the fetus can be very dangerous.
The smaller size of the fetus may be due to its poor absorption capacity, and if the pregnant woman eats too much, the supplemented nutrients cannot be absorbed by the fetus, and the excess will be absorbed by the pregnant woman, causing her body to gain weight. Or it could be that pregnant women have too good absorption capacity, and nutrients are converted into fat, while the fetus does not receive much nutrition, so it is relatively small.
The amount of nutrients that a fetus needs to supplement varies at different stages. In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus requires vitamins, so pregnant women can eat vegetables, fruits, and vegetables that contain vitamins. In the mid to late stages of pregnancy, the fetus's body and organs are gradually developing, so it is necessary to obtain more nutrition. Pregnant women need to pay attention to diet matching and not be picky about certain foods in order to achieve balanced nutrition. Therefore, it is not recommended to eat high-fat and high calorie foods before going to bed at night.
