Generally speaking, pregnant women can eat late-night snacks in moderation.
As the body consumption during pregnancy is relatively large, the night is easy to hunger is normal, at this time to eat a moderate amount of late-night snacking is generally no effect on the baby. But the choice of late-night snacks should be as light as possible, easy to digest and low-fat-based, and need to control the amount of intake, so as not to cause excessive intake of obesity during pregnancy, thereby increasing the risk of pregnancy complications.
It is also recommended to eat 2~3 hours before bedtime to avoid affecting the quality of sleep or increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Eating habits and dietary preferences can be changed appropriately during pregnancy, and small amounts of food can be eaten several times, such as three regular meals and three additional meals.
Pregnant women need to follow the doctor’s advice to go to the obstetrics department of the hospital regularly for maternity checkups, and ensure a balanced diet, such as a balanced intake of cereals, fish, poultry, eggs, fruits and vegetables, and so on.
