Dr. Fevzi Özgönül gave important information about the subject. Pregnancy is a special period for women. In this period when hormones are very active and emotionality is at the highest level, nutrition is also very important.
So what should we eat and how much should we consume during pregnancy? Dr. Fevzi Özgönül answered all these questions for you.
During pregnancy, I have two lives so don't think that I need to eat a lot. Our body shows us what it needs through appetite. If your appetite is very clear, you can increase the amount of food. But do not set it in mind. Your appetite may be low, sometimes high. Especially after the first 3 months, your appetite may increase when the hormone pressure disappears. Or when you start consuming a lot of sweet, pastry foods, your appetite may increase when you are inactive and do not support your digestive system.
We should pay special attention to some food groups so that your body is not damaged during pregnancy and the baby can complete its development comfortably.
