The consumption of folic acid is essential in pregnancy, not only to prevent congenital defects in the fetus but so that the mother can correctly metabolize iron and reduce the presence of anemia in pregnancy, says the doctor Zigor Campos Goneaga .

The gynecologist and obstetrician with subspecialty in Perinatal Medicine states that this so-called dilutional anemia occurs in all pregnant women, due to all the changes that are registered in your body.

Dilutional anemia is generated because "the volume of circulating blood increases from one and a half liters to two liters as a preventive and natural for the moment of delivery, in case there is any bleeding or bleeding."

However, since there is not the same amount of globules and hemoglobin for the dilutional type, there is a type of anemia.

Feeding in pregnancy

"The pregnant woman should eat food several times a day. The ideal is to distribute the diet in five or six takes a day, "highlights the active member of the Mexican College of Specialists in Gynecology and Obstetrics (COMEGO)

The most critical is the episodes of the night, where a pregnant woman can spend more than eight hours without eating, which generates a drop in glucose levels. Therefore, it is recommended that before eating eat any fruit, yogurt or a kind of snack.

Campos Goneaga details that in food there is no specific prohibition; However, risks must be reduced, that is, avoid those that run the risk of breaking down rapidly.

In addition, foods that can cause discomforts such as heartburn or gastritis should be moderated. And you, what myths have you heard about feeding during pregnancy?
