Eating and Nutrition in Pregnancy: Maternal Health Guide
Discover which foods you should consume and which to avoid to guarantee your baby's healthy development.
Nutrition during pregnancy directly influences placental development, the formation of your baby's organs, and the control of your weight and glucose.
The old myth that a pregnant woman must "eat for two" is clinically incorrect and dangerous. The correct approach is to eat twice as well, focusing on food quality, variety, and biological safety to prevent gestational diabetes and preeclampsia at our Reynosa clinic.
Key Nutritional Guidelines for a Healthy Pregnancy
- 01.
Essential and indispensable nutrients: Daily intake of folic acid (prevention of neural tube defects), iron (prevents gestational anemia), calcium (bone development), and Omega-3 (fetal brain development).
- 02.
Foods to strictly avoid: Raw or undercooked red meats, fish with high mercury content, unpasteurized dairy, and cold cuts to prevent serious infections such as toxoplasmosis and listeriosis.
- 03.
Constant hydration: Drinking at least 2.5 liters of water daily to support correct amniotic fluid volume and prevent urinary tract infections.
Smart, customized supplementation
A balanced diet must always be complemented with prenatal multivitamins prescribed personally based on your laboratory clinical tests in Reynosa.
