Can pregnant women eat ice cream?

It is ok to eat an ice cream occasionally in the late pregnancy and especially hot summer, which will not affect the health of the fetus, but it should also be based on the personal physique of pregnant women. If pregnant women have weak constitution, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, and often have symptoms of abdominal distension, diarrhea or indigestion, it is best not to eat cold food, which will increase the burden on the stomach. If constipation occurs in the late pregnancy, you can eat an ice cream occasionally, but you can't eat too much. Eating too much can easily lead to stomach deficiency and chills, which can easily lead to uterine contraction. In severe cases, it may also lead to premature delivery. Ice cream contains pigment or essence, so it is not recommended to eat more. Eating more is bad for the growth and development of the fetus.

Precautions for diet in the third trimester:

1, pay attention to the intake of high-quality protein. In the third trimester, the uterus, breast and placenta of the mother are enlarged, and protein needs to store about 375g, which is the most storage period. The fetal weight increased from 65438 0000 grams at 28 weeks to about 3000 grams at 40 weeks, and its protein storage was also the most frequent period. Therefore, China suggested that the protein supply in the third trimester should be increased by 25g per day on the original basis.

2. Energy supply. Generally, it should not be lower than the supply in the second trimester. However, in the last two weeks of the third trimester, the intake of heat energy such as fat and carbohydrates should be appropriately restricted to avoid the fetus growing too large and affecting the delivery.

3. Mineral and vitamin supply. In the third trimester, the fetal liver stores iron at a rate of 5 mg per day, and the storage capacity at birth can reach 300 ~ 400 mg. Insufficient iron intake in pregnant women can affect the iron storage in the fetus, and it is easy to suffer from iron deficiency anemia after delivery. The demand for calcium in the third trimester increased significantly. In addition to the increase in maternal calcium reserves, more than half of the calcium in the fetus is stored in the last two months. The calcium supplement standard recommended by China Nutrition Society is 1500mg per day. The supply of vitamins should also be appropriately increased.

4, eat less and eat more, pay attention to diet choices. In the third trimester, due to the growth of the fetus and the oppression of the uterus on the stomach, pregnant women tend to eat less and feel full, but in fact they can't meet the body's demand for nutrients. Therefore, the dietary organization in this period should choose foods with small volume and high nutritional value, such as animal foods, and reduce foods with low nutritional value and large volume, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. For some pure heat energy foods such as sugar, honey and other sweets, it is advisable to eat less or not, so as not to reduce appetite and affect the intake of nutrients such as protein.
