Dietary Precautions for IVF Infants during Pregnancy
The pregnancy of IVF is a very critical stage, and the mother's eating habits and nutrition intake play a very important role in the development and health of the embryo. The following will elaborate on the diet precautions of IVF babies during pregnancy from four aspects: the diet balance of expectant mothers, high-quality protein intake, vegetable and fruit supplementation and increased water intake.
1. Diet balance
During pregnancy, expectant mothers of test tube babies should maintain a balanced diet, reasonably choose all kinds of food, and ensure adequate nutrition intake. First of all, attention should be paid to the reasonable arrangement of the intake of staple foods, such as rice, pasta and other coarse and fine combinations, which not only helps to increase energy intake, but also provides the main energy sources needed by the fetus and baby. Secondly, it is necessary to ensure adequate intake of protein, which can appropriately increase the intake of high-quality protein such as fish and lean meat, which is conducive to embryonic development and maternal tissue repair. In addition, the intake of fat also needs to be moderate, try to choose vegetable oil and sexual fat to match, so as to ensure the baby's nerve and brain development needs.
In addition, expectant mothers should also pay attention to the reasonable collocation of various vegetables and fruits to ensure that the diet can provide enough vitamins and minerals. Try to choose fresh and organic vegetables and fruits, and take appropriate intake of foods rich in fiber, which will help prevent constipation and maintain intestinal health. In addition, pregnant women should also avoid cold and raw food and fried food to reduce the possibility of indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort.
Finally, a reasonable diet balance also needs to pay attention to the balanced intake of various nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, etc. You can take comprehensive and diversified nutrition supplements according to your own conditions, and consult with professional doctors or nutritionists when necessary.
2. High quality protein intake
The embryonic development of test tube babies needs a large amount of protein supply, so expectant mothers should pay attention to the intake of high-quality protein during pregnancy. High quality protein mainly exists in fish, lean meat, poultry, bean products and other foods, which can increase the intake of these foods appropriately. In addition, protein in dairy products is also a good choice. You can choose low-fat milk, yogurt, etc. to increase the daily protein intake of expectant mothers.
At the same time, pay attention to the protein matching. Plant protein generally lacks some essential amino acids, while protein contains comprehensive amino acids. Therefore, it is recommended that expectant mothers take animal and plant proteins during pregnancy to help fully supplement the required nutrients.
It should be noted that, although the importance of protein intake cannot be ignored, excessive protein intake is not conducive to the health of mothers and infants. It is suggested that protein intake should be reasonably determined according to personal needs and doctors' suggestions, and excessive or insufficient protein intake should be avoided.
3. Vegetable and fruit supplement
The diet of IVF pregnant mothers to be should include sufficient vegetables and fruits. This is because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals, which play an important role in embryonic development and maternal health.
Multi colored vegetables and fruits can provide rich vitamins and antioxidants, which can enhance immunity and reduce the risk of infection. For example, carrots are rich in β- Carotene is helpful to the growth of embryo and the development of retina; Folic acid and iron in green leafy vegetables are important nutrients to supplement blood and red blood cells.
In addition, expectant mothers can also properly supplement some fruits rich in vitamin C, such as lemon, orange, strawberry, etc., which will help improve the absorption rate of iron and enhance immunity. At the same time, dairy products such as yogurt are also good choices. They are rich in calcium and vitamin D, which are crucial to the development of bones and teeth of the fetus and baby.
4. Increase water intake
The expectant mothers of IVF babies need to increase their water intake during pregnancy. Water is the basic material for human cells, and also an important material for maintaining various physiological processes. Especially during pregnancy, the body will consume more water, so it is very important to maintain water balance.
Proper water intake helps to promote metabolism, maintain blood circulation and sufficient amniotic fluid, and protect the development environment of fetus and baby. In addition, adequate water intake can also help prevent constipation and reduce swelling discomfort.
It should be noted that expectant mothers should try to choose pure water or boiled water, and avoid sugary drinks or drinks with high caffeine content.
Summary
The diet of IVF during pregnancy is crucial to the development of embryos and the health of expectant mothers. By keeping a balanced diet, increasing the intake of high-quality protein, supplementing rich vegetables and fruits, and increasing the intake of water, we can provide sufficient nutrition for the embryo and ensure the healthy development of the baby. During pregnancy, expectant mothers should pay special attention to the reasonable diet, provide comprehensive and balanced nutrition according to their personal conditions and doctor's suggestions, and create good conditions for the healthy growth of test tube babies.
