Week by week in your pregnancy calendar we introduce you here to the recommended diet for each week in your pregnancy calendar.
Here we continue to look at the extra requirements of your body in terms of vitamins and minerals with our special pregnancy calendar.
Remember that your body will have extra requirements for iteself and for the correct development of your developing baby.
NOTE: If you are taking any food supplements like multivitamins, you should consult your doctor to make sure they are safe.
Pregnancy calendar Week 21: During pregnancy the food stays longer in the intestines because of the relaxation of the muscles. Drink 2 liters of water a day to help with the condition of constipation. |
Pregnancy calendar Week 22: Don't miss any meals not even if you feel full of energy. You need foods rich in carbohydrates that liberate the energy little by little. Don't eat too many cakes and fatty food, try different types of fruits instead. |
Pregnancy calendar Week 23: Lentils and high fibre products help with the constipation. Avoid food with excess fat, try semi skimmed milk and light products that are safe, like yogurts and light drinks. |
Pregnancy calendar Week 24: Sometimes you will feel out of breath, that's perfectly normal. Your body has to carry a higher volume of blood around. Take vegetable soup and tomato juice that helps the fight against free radicals that can damage the DNA. |
Pregnancy calendar Week 25: Now that you are well into the second trimester you feel well and want to show off your wonderful belly. You probably gained 6 kilos by now. Keep your healthy diet, fish, vegetables, salads and roast meat well cooked and plenty of cereals and fruits. |
Pregnancy calendar Week 26: At this stage of pregnancy your baby is growing fast and your belly too. Eat three portions of proteins daily. 1 portion of protein could be: 2 small steaks or 115 grams of fish or 75 mg of beans or 2 eggs or 115 grs of tofu or soja |
Week 27: The animal protein is the most complete. So eat meat with no fat and white fish. If you are vegetarian there are other foods you can have to accomplish the right amount of amino acids: legumes, cereals, rice, flour made foods, pasta, walnuts, ... |
Week 28: At this stage of pregnancy your skeleton and the baby's need some reinforces. Calcium from milk, cheese or yogurt is good. Not unpasterized milk or cheese. Eggs and fish are good as well but make sure the eggs are well cooked. |
Week 29: At the third trimester of pregnancy you will feel tired again, so eat food rich in iron like meat, integral cereals, lentils and green vegetables. Meat is the easiest to get the iron component from. |
Week
30: During pregnancy you should eat very well cooked meat. The parasite toxoplasmosis can cause serious problems in the fetus. If you have a cat or a garden, use gloves to touch the cat or planting in the garden. |
Pregnancy calendar Week 31: Urine infections are common during pregnancy, keep drinking lots of liquid to eliminate the bacteria from your body. Blackcurrant juice is great to avoid urine infections, the fruit has a natural antiseptic. |
Pregnancy calendar Week 32: During the third trimester of pregnancy your body needs 200 calories more, so you need to eat a little bit more. Eat more integral bread, baked potatoes or pieces of cheese. |
Week 33: Disgestion is probably more difficult because the baby is pressing the stomach. Liquids are easier to digest, so creams, soups and fruits puree are good options. Try to blend a natural yogurt with a banana and half a mango, delicious! |
Week 34: The skin outside the stomach gets very dry and itches when it expands. Keep it moist with plenty of body oils and hydration creams. Vitamin E will help your skin and the baby's lungs. Vitamin E is found in vegetable oils, dry fruits and margarine. |
Week 35: Keep doing regular and moderate exercise to be in shape for the moment of the child birth. Bananas and integral bread will help you to keep the energy levels high. Do you get cramps at night. Food rich in magnesium like soja, walnuts and integral bread will help prevent them. |
Week 36: Probably you feel so tired that you don't feel like eating, but try a vegetable soup, milk shake or fruit. Vegetable creams and puree are easy to digest. |
Pregnancy calendar Week 37: Now eating dry fruits are not a good idea because they contain too much fat. Zinc is a very important mineral during pregnancy, so eat lentils, integral cereals and tuna. |
Pregnancy calendar Week 38: If your blood pressure is high you might have preeclampsia, so do not miss any of your doctor appointements because it's dangerous. Vitamin C and Vitamin F can help avoid preeclampsia. |
Pregnancy calendar Week 39: You feel too tired to cook now, so if you are eating ready prepared meals, make sure they are low in fat (maximun 5% fat) and make sure you heat them well them. |
Pregnancy calendar Week 40: A bit of your favorite food now won't hurt you. Chocolate has antioxidant properties and also iron and calcium. To help you sleeping you can drink warm milk and camomile. Have energetic snacks like bananas and jam sandwiches to have a good level of energy for giving birth. |
