Why All Women With Bump Should Include Milk In Their Diet

Hello, lovely expecting mums in Aylesbury! Ah, pregnancy, one of the most beautiful times and one of the most difficult periods in a woman’s life. Pregnancy has its own perks, such as being able to eat as much as you can, being treated like a VVIP (not that you’re not), visiting your ultrasound baby scan clinic(because it’s an important element of your pregnant life), enjoying good pregnancy sex and so on!

But wait! Everything looks sorted, still there’s something amiss? Well, it’s you not getting enough nutrition! You might be eating the healthiest foods on the planet but if you do not include dairy into your pregnancy diet, well, the idea just does not sit well with me. Unless you have an intolerance for lactose, milk is good for you to provide that much-needed bonus nourishment required during pregnancy. So, which milk would be ideal and incorporable when you are expecting? Well, it’s for you to decide if you want to drink skimmed or whole milk, no matter whichever one you choose, it has to be pasteurized. Whole milk is best for women who are extremely weak during their pregnancy as it has a richer fat content and the creamy texture also adds a decent flavour to it. If you’re a vegan would-be mum, choose plant-based milk alternatives, like, cashew milk, almond milk, peanut milk, coconut milk, soy milk, hazelnut milk, walnut milk, oat milk, rice milk, and so on. Dear vegans, never think you do not have any option!

Now, without adding any extra words, let’s look into the benefits of drinking milk during pregnancy.

1. High source of Calcium:

Milk is by far the richest source of calcium so making it a part in your pregnancy diet ensures that your baby’s bones and teeth are stronger and he or she never suffers from bone loss.

2. Provides much-needed Vitamin D:

The calcium does not get absorbed in the body during the absence of Vitamin D. It means to get the most of your calcium, you need Vitamin D and if you do not, your baby might suffer from bone diseases, like osteoporosis and osteomalacia. Apart from soaking into the sun, drinking milk should also be a norm in your life to get that much-required Vitamin D. Because, Vitamin D deficiency is real.

3. Keeps you sated for long:

When you are pregnant you get hungry often as you have two mouths to feed. In such cases, many women binge-eat saying they are hungry and it’s what the baby wants, but instead of doing that milk can be considered a healthy option for those hunger pangs. Milk is excellently full-filling so whenever you’re hungry drink a glass of your favorite milk with toast, sandwich, cereals, pancakes, and fruits.

4. Excellent option for protein:

We all are well-familiar with the fact that protein is an important nutrient for building our bodies. We get protein from many food sources, out of all milk is one such source. If you drink 3 glasses of milk per day you get enough protein required for the body.
