What should mom do when she is 29 weeks pregnant?
The most important thing is to have a healthy and balanced diet. The baby is growing, so about 250 milligrams of calcium from the mother's diet will be loaded into the baby's developing bones, the baby also needs calcium to develop nerves, muscles, hearts and teeth. If the mother does not get enough calcium, the baby will take calcium from the mother's bones, resulting in increased blood pressure and low birth weight. Eat foods rich in calcium such as low-fat yogurt, almond or soy milk, tofu, sardines, dried figs, and broccoli. Besides, mom should drink plenty of water, this is essential. Moderate exercises such as walking or swimming for about 30 minutes will stimulate bowel activity.
Due to the fast development of the baby, make sure you get enough nutrients, including vitamin C, Folic, protein, iron and calcium. Iron is very important during pregnancy. Iron deficiency anemia is a common problem for pregnant women, so eat iron-rich foods like beef, fish, beans, lentils, and turkey.
