The ideal diet according to your trimester of pregnancy

If you are pregnant for the first time, you are probably wondering what to eat during your pregnancy. Don't worry, knowing what the ideal diet is according to the trimester of your pregnancy, which foods you can consume, which ones it is better to avoid, and how your habits can affect or benefit your baby is not complicated, and here we tell you what you need to know. What to eat in the first trimester (week 1-12) In many ways, this is the most important trimester. Although the baby is still very small, their skeleton and organs begin to form. For this reason, it is necessary for you to take in enough nutrients. However, this can be complicated if you experience the dreaded morning sickness. To alleviate discomfort and ensure that you consume the vitamins and minerals your baby needs to grow healthily, we recommend eating fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and whole grains. Fruits and vegetables are nutrient-rich foods but have the great advantage of being very light, so they won’t cause you major stomach issues. On the other hand, dairy products provide calcium and protein, necessary for the baby to develop their skeletal and muscular system. Finally, whole grains help prevent constipation (so common in pregnancy) due to their high fiber content. What to eat in the second trimester (week 13-26) This second stage is usually easier for most pregnant women. In fact, some doctors call it “the honeymoon of pregnancy.” The typical discomforts of the early weeks (nausea, general malaise, fatigue, and dizziness) usually disappear, and since the baby does not weigh much yet, women can resume many of their activities. In the second trimester, you can take the opportunity to broaden your diet and include more varied foods. Remember that during these months, minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, as well as vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids help the baby develop properly. Some foods you should consume during this stage include avocado, broccoli, yogurt (preferably Greek), nuts, carrots, legumes, leafy green vegetables, among others. What to eat in the third trimester (week 27-end) The last weeks of pregnancy can be very heavy. Between the size of the baby, swelling, heartburn, and circulation problems (including hemorrhoids), future moms can feel exhausted and even a bit annoyed. Another thing that can also affect mothers' mood is weight. While in the first trimester, only one or two kilograms are gained, starting from the third trimester, approximately half a kilo is gained per week. Something that moms can do to alleviate discomfort during the last stage of pregnancy is to consume foods high in vitamins C, K, B1, and fiber. These will help control stomach acidity discomfort and prevent episodes of constipation, which can lead to the appearance of hemorrhoids. The most important thing is to always remember to follow your doctor's advice.
