Things to avoid during early pregnancy

As the saying goes: A pregnant woman is the happiest woman, but also the hardest working woman. Why do I say this? Because for many people, pregnant women will have some physiological reactions, and sometimes we cannot take care of these physiological reactions ourselves. However, for many women, they are greedy during pregnancy. So do you know what foods you need to avoid in the early stages of pregnancy? Let’s take a look together below!

Fruits and foods that should not be eaten during pregnancy:

1. Hawthorn: Pregnant women often suffer from fatigue, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and other symptoms. They prefer to eat some sweet and sour fruits. Hawthorn is sour and sweet, so many pregnant women prefer to eat it. However, hawthorn has a certain sympathetic effect on the uterus and can promote uterine contraction. If pregnant women consume large amounts of hawthorn and its products during pregnancy, it is easy to cause miscarriage.

2. Longan: Although longan is very nutritious and is an excellent tonic, it should be eaten less or not during pregnancy because it is warm in nature, and pregnant women are prone to yin deficiency and internal heat after pregnancy. Eating longan will add heat to the heat, resulting in dry stools, dry mouth and tongue, and fetal heat, which can easily lead to symptoms of threatened abortion such as vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain in pregnant women.

3. Apricot: Apricot is acidic and hot, and can cause miscarriage. Because the fetal heat is high during pregnancy, the principle of "clearing the body before delivery" should generally be followed. The heat of apricot and its miscarriage-inducing properties are taboos for pregnant women, so they should not be eaten.

4. Lychee: Can cause dry stools

5. Papaya: Papaya contains female hormones, which can easily interfere with hormonal changes in pregnant women, especially green papaya. Pregnant women should completely abstain from it because it is not only harmful to the stability of the fetus, but may also cause miscarriage. In Southeast Asian countries, local residents also use papaya to prevent pregnancy, which shows that papaya is not good for childbirth.

6. Salted fish: Salted fish also contains a large amount of dimethyl nitrate, which can be converted into dimethylnitramine, a highly carcinogenic substance, in the human body and can affect the fetus through the placenta. It is very harmful.

7. Convenient food: Instant noodles and other foods not only lack a variety of proteins, but also lack fatty acids. Eating too much or eating frequently will cause low birth weight of the fetus, or even neonatal death, and are more likely to cause various non-genetic disorders.

8. Canned food: Preservatives are added during the production of canned food, which is harmful to the health of pregnant women and fetuses. From the perspective of freshness, it is also recommended that you eat more fresh fish, meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables as much as possible, which is more beneficial to the health of the mother and fetus.

9. Spicy food: It will irritate the gastrointestinal tract in the early stages, aggravate morning sickness, and even lead to miscarriage. If a pregnant woman has kidney problems and high blood pressure, she should avoid eating spicy food.

10. Beverages: Beverages such as coffee, cola, and black tea are harmful to the health of pregnant women, especially coffee and cola, which can hinder the division of embryonic cells during the growth period and cause fetal malformations.

11. Cold drinks: Eating too much cold food can cause diarrhea, affect the mother's absorption of nutrients, and lead to fetal maldevelopment.

Well, the above is our basic introduction about the foods that you need to avoid in the early stages of pregnancy. What do you think after reading it? Because many times what we know is different from the reality. Why do I say that? Because for many people, if they don’t pay attention after pregnancy, they eat food that they shouldn’t eat, and then, it may cause the baby to be deformed!
