Sisters who are preparing for pregnancy, I sincerely recommend that you nourish your Qi and blood in advance before getting pregnant. If Qi and blood are insufficient for a long time, not only will it be difficult to prepare for pregnancy, but even if you become pregnant, it will also affect the pregnant mother and baby.
Because the baby\’s growth and development are nourished by the mother\’s Qi and blood. The mother\’s own lack of Qi and blood, coupled with the rapid growth of the embryo, will consume a large amount of maternal Qi and blood. We will find that some mothers age several years instantly after giving birth.
Adequate Qi and blood have a positive impact on the reproductive system. It can provide good nutritional support to the ovaries, help the development and maturation of eggs, and improve egg quality. Therefore, nourishing Qi and blood before pregnancy is of great importance that cannot be ignored for a smooth pregnancy and health during pregnancy. It is the most important task in our pregnancy preparation process.
There are 4 weeks in a month. By replenishing Qi and blood according to the cycle, the effect of pregnancy preparation can be greatly improved!
1. Starting from the aunt period
Time: Days 1-7 of menstruation
Girls at this stage have constant bleeding, are irritable, get tired easily, and have poor resistance.
At this time, you should pay more attention to keeping warm and resting; eat mainly light meals. At the end of menstruation, you can supplement more calcium and iron and other substances, such as pork liver, beef, and carrots
2. Follicle development stage
Time: 7-14 days after menstruation
Two weeks after the aunt’s death, a new round of follicular development will begin. This stage is necessary to replenish the energy and blood after the aunt’s death, and also promote the development of follicles!
Invigorating Qi and blood: Wuhong soup, red dates, brown sugar, donkey hide gelatin, etc.
How to make Wuhong Soup: Red beans, red peanuts, and red dates are simmered in water for 60 minutes. Add wolfberry brown sugar. You can’t drink this stuff every day if it makes you angry. It’s about 1-2 times a week.
Promote follicle development: soy milk, eggs/fish and shrimp high protein
From now on, I will cooperate with exercise, skipping rope, running, 30 minutes a day, and soaking my feet 3-4 times a week. The effect is great! Continue to be my aunt~
3. Preluteal phase (ovulation period)
Time:Day 14~21 after menstruation
The goal at this stage is ovulation. After ovulation, you still need to eat more gas-boosting foods.
4. Late luteal phase (after ovulation)
Time: 22nd to 28th day after menstruation
At this stage, metabolism becomes worse, weight gain occurs, edema occurs, emotional instability occurs, skin is greasy, the diet should be light, eat more foods containing potassium and magnesium, control appetite and eliminate edema.
Food recommendations: spinach, banana, orange, corn silk, grapefruit, tofu, peanut, etc.
Girls preparing for pregnancy must seize the soft fertilization period and ovulation period! Combine it with diet and exercise! Pregnancy consumes a lot of maternal nutrients, so we must strengthen our bodies!
