Doctors believe that the most important vitamin that a child should receive is folic acid. In the body of a woman, she must act in sufficient quantities, as she prevents premature birth and various mental abnormalities in the fetus.
Folic acid is found in vegetables, fruits, meat, fish and dairy products. When heat treated, B9 loses its useful properties, but it remains better in meat and milk.
In addition to folic acid, it is mandatory to give up strong alcoholic beverages and smoking. This all has a very negative effect on the health of the future baby.

That's where the most difficult begins. After all, to maintain a certain diet during the hated toxicosis is quite difficult. In this case, the recommendations are simple. I want a salty - forward for cucumbers, I want a sweet - for cakes. But it is necessary to observe one simple rule - all to eat in moderation. In small quantities, any products will bring joy and satisfaction to the future mother. But if you eat too much, you can easily hurt the baby.
Also, with the help of a diet, you can fight against toxicosis. In the morning, lying in bed, it is recommended to eat something light, for example, an apple or creamy yogurt. It is also necessary to observe the diet and try to eat at the same time. By the way, from leukemia the lemon perfectly helps. You need to eat more vegetables and fruits, and porridge can help. This will give future mother strength, and there are sometimes much more pleasant.

This week the kid needs, in addition to the above vitamins, also calcium with phosphorus, which are contained in milk and other dairy products. The fetus begins an important stage of "building" the body and the mother must necessarily help him.

"Drink your children milk, you will be healthy" - this is how it is sung in one child's song. And the future mother in these weeks is simply obligatory to consume milk. After all, it contains calcium with phosphorus, folic acid, vitamin B and animal fats. And it is in milk that phosphorus and calcium are contained in the necessary proportions, and due to this, they are better absorbed.
If the future mother can not consume milk, then it is possible to replace it with dairy products. For example, light yogurt or kefir. They also contain all the necessary substances.

For 11 weeks, you can enter products containing zinc. He is responsible for the development of the reproductive system, the organs of taste and smell. Quite a lot of zinc is found in cheese, meat, beans, seafood and nuts.
Also, mom and baby need foods containing vitamin E. It strengthens the immune system and helps the mother's heart muscle work. It is found in spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, vegetable oil, wheat germ and egg.

At week 12, it is recommended to increase the intake of vitamins C and E. If the body receives a sufficient amount of these vitamins, the risk of premature rupture of the placenta is significantly reduced.
It is very important to eat foods that contain iodine. It is necessary for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland, and to prevent the delay in the growth of the child. A large amount of iodine is found in various seafood.
13 week.
This week, it is enough to follow all of the above directions. Overeat or shortage is equally bad, both for mother and baby. Until the 13th week there is a major "laying" of the children's organism and the woman should approach the issue of nutrition more carefully and selectively.
So, we examined the basic rules of how to eat right in the first weeks of pregnancy. In principle, there are not so many of them, and a woman can, without straining to follow them. There is a need at once, as there is a feeling of hunger. At least 4 meals a day. This will avoid overcrowding of the stomach. In this case, between meals should be used light yogurt, dairy products or fruit. Also, if possible, you need to consume more freshly squeezed juices or compotes. Eat slowly, without fuss, carefully chewing food. Never forget that the lack of any vitamins can adversely affect the health of women and children.
When compiling a personal diet, the expectant mother must necessarily follow changes in her weight. Surplus or lack also very negatively affect the baby.
If the diet is difficult to maintain due to toxicosis, then do not despair, because this phenomenon, as they say, is temporary.
