In summary, the pregnant woman needs to follow the USDA Daily Food Plans for Moms as follows:
·Fruits and vegetables-7 or more servings daily (3 servings of fruits and 4 of vegetables)
·Whole grains or enriched breads/cereals-6 to 9 servings daily
·Dairy products-3 to 4 servings of low-fat or nonfat milk, yogurt, or cheese daily
·Meat and beans-3 servings daily (one serving = 2 ounces)
Because of pressure from the enlarging uterus, slowed peristalsis, and supplemental iron and calcium intake, the woman is at risk for constipation that can then lead to hemorrhoids.Therefore, the woman should eat foods high in fiber, including vegetables and fruits.A woman who does not like or eat vegetables is at risk for constipation and hemorrhoids.
