Quote: During pregnancy, with the increase in body weight, the increase in body water, the relative dilution of blood, to constantly supply to the day and night to increase the fetal iron needs, so there will be anemia. Blood tests are often around 110mg. The development and maturation of the fetus in the mother’s body is closely related to the nutrition of the pregnant mother, what the mother eats, what your baby gets. Today we will talk about one of the many nutrients, the importance of iron as a trace element for the mother-to-be and the fetus. There are many causes of anemia, and iron deficiency can cause nutritional anemia. Often, people feel dizzy, weak, unmotivated, panicky, poor sleep, and easily catch a cold. During the last three months of pregnancy, the demand for iron increases more significantly and patients have more chances of developing iron deficiency anemia during this period. This is the reason why anemia is more likely to occur during pregnancy. Anemia during pregnancy brings many risks to the pregnant woman and the fetus. For the mother, it can cause hypertension during pregnancy, premature rupture of membranes, fetal growth restriction, premature birth, puerperal infection and postpartum depression; for the fetus, the risk of fetal hypoxia, amniotic fluid reduction, neonatal asphyxia, ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy, stillbirth and stillbirth increases, and the rate of neonatal morbidity and mortality increases; intrauterine growth retardation of the fetus and insufficient intrauterine nutrition of the fetus lay the hidden risk of anemia after birth. After pregnancy, especially in the last four months, attention should be paid to iron supplementation, which can shield some pregnant women from pregnancy complications and will also reduce the risk of anemia in the newborn, which is very beneficial to both mother and child. It has been known since the adjustment of the diet structure during pregnancy to carry out iron supplementation, food mainly meat products, liver, pig blood, duck blood, etc. These are relatively high iron content, in addition to some vegetables, bean products also contain iron, pregnancy should eat more of this type of food, conducive to iron supplementation. Due to the increased demand for iron during pregnancy, diet alone is not enough, dietary iron supplementation is not a substitute for medication supplementation and should be taken seriously.
