1. Monitor weight at any time: In the third trimester, the weight gain rate of pregnant women should be slightly slower than that in the second trimester, and generally increase by about 1 kg per month. If pregnant women gain weight sharply and gain more than 500 grams per week, obesity will occur, which is usually caused by excessive intake of fat and sugar. Excessive intake of fatty sugar will make vitamins and minerals relatively insufficient, resulting in symptoms such as gingival bleeding, osteomalacia and anemia. Therefore, pregnant women should weigh themselves at any time to avoid obesity.

2. Control food intake: mainly control sugary foods and foods with high fat content, and do not exceed the daily standard supply of rice, pasta and other foods. Chicken, fish, shrimp, eggs and milk with relatively low fat content can be selected as animal food, while pigs, cattle and mutton with relatively high fat content can be selected less, and some beans can be added appropriately to ensure the supply of protein and control the fat content. Eat less fried foods, nuts and plant seeds, which are also high in fat.

3, insist on exercise: pregnant women arrange a certain amount of exercise every day, walking, swimming, etc. Are suitable for losing weight.

4. Obese pregnant women are more likely to get sick and have the risk of premature delivery and macrosomia, so we should pay more attention to prenatal examination than ordinary pregnant women, and the number of prenatal examinations can be increased appropriately.

The harm of pregnant women's obesity

If you eat too much fat and protein during pregnancy, vitamins and minerals will be relatively insufficient, resulting in symptoms such as gingival bleeding, osteomalacia and anemia. In addition, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, fetal macrosomia, gestational diabetes mellitus, cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage and other complications will also occur in pregnant women with obesity.

What are the dietary principles for pregnant women with obesity?

Obesity in pregnant women can lead to reasonable nutrition, balanced diet, no overeating, and attention should be paid to preventing obesity during pregnancy. Obese pregnant women can't lose weight by drugs, but they can reduce obesity by adjusting their diet under the guidance of doctors. Obese pregnant women should pay attention to the following points:

Eat more fruits and vegetables: Hunger is often more serious after the consumption of staple food and fat is reduced. You can eat more fruits and vegetables and pay attention to choosing fruits with less sugar, which can not only alleviate hunger, but also increase the intake of vitamins and organic matter.

Develop good eating habits: Some pregnant women like to eat snacks, eat while watching TV, and unconsciously eat a lot of food. This habit is very bad and easily leads to overnutrition. Obese pregnant women should pay attention to the eating rules and eat on time. You can choose low-calorie fruits as snacks, not high-calorie foods such as biscuits, sweets, melon seeds and fried potato chips.
