Once pregnant, everyone goes from their little advice on what you have to or should not eat. Meat, fish, eggs, fruit … We take stock of prohibited or authorized foods during pregnancy.
Eat for two? Fake
We have to eat for two. This means that we do not necessarily increase the quantities considerably, but that we choose food with more benefits. For example, crisps against raw vegetables (well washed) are swapped.
You can’t eat fish: false
It is true that the raw fish must be limited in order to avoid being contaminated by listeriosis. Studies also show that the mercury rate of certain species exposed to pollution is harmful. However, nothing prevents you from consuming breeding fish or occasionally fish from fishing. Food in omega 3, vitamins D and B12 or even iodine, they help the good development of the baby’s brain.
We don’t stop meat: true
Meat brings iron and is beneficial as part of a balanced diet. However, we take care to reduce our consumption of raw or little cooked meats to prevent listeriosis and toxoplasmosis. Likewise, you flee the too grilled meats that can be toxic. A desire for steak? We favor the timely option. On the other hand, cold meats, rillettes or other terrines are to be banished. We will catch up after childbirth.
Bye bye cheese? True and false
No raw milk cheese for listeriosis too. You can also make a cross on soft cheeses with a flowery crust like the camembert or the brie and those with washed crust (Munster, Pont-l’Évêque). Even if the list is shortened, you can always honor France by choosing its product well. In addition, calcium plays a crucial role during pregnancy.
We can eat as much fruit as we want: true
However, you have to wash your fruits and vegetables if you are not immune to toxoplasmosis. We can also peel them. Cook them also reduces the risks. Do not deprive yourself without abusing it because they are often rich in sugar.
We say yes to carbohydrates: true
Eating carbohydrates provides the energy necessary for pregnancy. So, for us the fruits, vegetables, pasta, rice, bread and cereals.
We can crack for all our desires: false
Unfortunately, cakes, candies and other fried fries or refined products bring nothing to the child and are simply fat.
We must say goodbye to his morning coffee: false
Caffeine is to be consumed sparingly, just like tea, which contains tea. We do not make a cross on these drinks, but we do not exceed the two cups a day.
You can’t drink tap water: false
It is advisable to vary the different source, mineral or tap waters because pregnancy requires good hydration.
You can’t eat an egg: false
On the contrary, rich in vitamins A and D, eggs are a source of protein, iron and energy. Ideal for the development of the unborn child. Small flat: Avoid raw eggs if you are not sure of their freshness (for a chocolate mousse or a whipped cream for example).
Death to crustaceans: true
Crustaceans and molluscs are to be avoided because they can be contaminated by hepatitis A. In addition, you can never be sure of freshness and therefore there is a risk of poisoning … On the other hand, you are entitled to the curtain and cooked langoustines!
