The recommended daily intake must not be exceeded. Dietary supplements are no substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. You should avoid these when eating During pregnancy, a varied mix of foods rich in vitamins and nutrients is advisable, but caution is required with some products, as they may contain listeriosis or toxoplasmosis pathogens. Infections are rare in this country, but they can harm your unborn child. You should therefore avoid raw foods of animal origin, especially raw milk and raw milk products, raw meat and raw sausage (e.g. salami, tea sausage) as well as raw and smoked fish (e.g. sushi, smoked salmon). Wash fruit, salad and vegetables that you want to eat raw thoroughly beforehand. Hygiene must always be observed in the kitchen and when preparing food. To protect yourself from salmonella, you should only eat eggs that have been thoroughly cooked. Stay active during pregnancy If the pregnancy is progressing normally, there is nothing to stop you from continuing to be physically active. On the contrary: regular exercise - ideally around 30 minutes a day - promotes your well-being and is also good for your baby. Moderate endurance sports such as walking, cycling, swimming or pregnancy gymnastics are recommended - the main thing is that you enjoy it and that it is not too strenuous. It is best to discuss with your gynecologist how intensive the training should be. Sport does not fit into your busy daily routine? Smaller exercise units, e.g. cycling to work or a brisk walk during your lunch break, can also be easily fitted into everyday life. Frequently asked questions and answers How do my calorie requirements change during pregnancy? Unlike nutrient requirements, energy requirements only increase slightly during pregnancy. If physical activity remains the same as before pregnancy, the guideline value of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) is an additional 250 calories per day in the 2nd trimester and 500 kcal in the 3rd trimester.* It is recommended that the additional calories be obtained from nutrient-rich foods. If physical activity decreases as the pregnancy progresses, there is no need to increase energy intake. *German Nutrition Society (2015).
