      What should you pay attention to in your diet during the second trimester (April to June)? ? Generally, pregnant women have a better appetite in the second trimester than in the early pregnancy, because the mother's body begins to store a larger amount of protein, fat, calcium, etc., in order to prepare for the consumption during delivery and lactation, so the variety of food should be more diverse.

      In order to ensure the supply of heat energy, you should increase the amount of staple food and eat more animal foods such as meat, fish, and eggs to obtain high-quality protein. You can also eat animal offal, especially liver. Liver can provide iron, zinc, vitamin A, B1, B12, folic acid, etc. It is best to eat animal offal 1 to 2 times a week.

      In addition, you should eat milk, beans or soy products, and green leafy vegetables every day to get more calcium and prevent calcium deficiency symptoms such as calf twitching in pregnant women. 》》》 How to give birth to a baby girl 8conditions
