    The demand for iron during pregnancy will greatly increase. Because at this time, the baby will store iron in the body in advance, and you need more iron to make oxygen-carrying hemoglobin. Relatively speaking, iron in animal food will be more easily absorbed than iron in plant food. If you don’t like meat, you can mix iron-containing foods with vitamin C-containing foods, which can promote iron absorption. In addition, although the animal liver is also rich in iron, it also contains a lot of vitamin A. Excessive vitamin A will destroy the growing embryo, so it is better to eat less.
