During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the woman’s energy needs increase in relation to the different metabolic needs. In particular, it is due to an increase of some tissues and maternal organs, and for the construction of fetal tissues and organs. In these particular phases, proper nutrition is essential not only for the mother herself and for the successful outcome of childbirth, but also to ensure optimal growth of the fetus and therefore of the newborn.
The first signs that can indicate the difference between premenstrual syndrome and the onset of pregnancy are:
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is very important, both for the mother and for the baby, both during and immediately after pregnancy.
Main benefits of DHA
For the CHILD
For the MOTHER
The “Italian Network of Folic Acid Promotion for the Prevention of Congenital Defects”, coordinated by the National Health Institute, recommends that “women planning a pregnancy, or who do not actively exclude the possibility, regularly take at least 400 μg of folic acid per day, to reduce the risk of congenital defects (spina bifida)”.
Folic Acid intake should start at least one month before conception.
