What to eat in early pregnancy to protect the fetus

For a woman, pregnancy not only carries the responsibility of passing on the next generation, but also represents a woman's rights as a mother. The hardships of pregnancy make people admire pregnant women even more. Everyone knows that pregnancy is not only very hard but also a very difficult process. Protecting the fetus in the body is a very challenging task for these expectant mothers.

People should know that early pregnancy is a very unstable period. During this period, some excessive exercise and some tense emotions of pregnant women may cause miscarriage. Therefore, preserving the fetus during this period is the most important thing for people. So what can people eat in early pregnancy to protect the fetus?

In modern medicine, "pregnancy protection" means preventing spontaneous abortion. According to statistics, the vast majority of miscarriages occur in the first thirteen weeks of pregnancy. From a physiological point of view, it is not entirely clear why people experience spontaneous abortions. In most cases, spontaneous abortion is related to chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. Chromosomes are the carriers of genetic material, and chromosomal abnormalities mean that the fetus has genetic defects. Once this defect occurs, it cannot be changed by what the mother eats. In other words, there is currently no effective measure to address miscarriage caused by chromosomal abnormalities, which is the most common cause of miscarriage. Eating bird's nest is naturally of no use.

Other common factors associated with spontaneous abortion include hormones, infection, smoking, drug reactions, excessive coffee drinking, radiation, exposure to toxic substances, etc. Advanced maternal age and severe psychological trauma also increase the risk of natural transmission. Exactly how these factors increase the risk of miscarriage is unclear. However, eating bird's nest will not reduce the impact of these factors, and it will not have any "fetal preservation" effect on miscarriage caused by these factors.

Malnutrition of the mother can also increase the risk of miscarriage. Many people also take bird's nest as a "nutritional holy product". Not to mention that people who can afford bird's nests are unlikely to be "malnourished". From a nutritional point of view, bird's nests are really unremarkable. Any nutrients that people can find in bird's nests can be obtained through other ordinary foods, or even better. For example, the protein content of bird's nest is not as high as that of eggs and milk.

Of course, people who believe that bird's nests are "super nutritious" are always willing to believe that they contain "magical ingredients" that modern science has not discovered - but this is just like we can "believe" that there is Sun Wukong on the Flower and Fruit Mountain, it is just a logical possibility. Conceiving a new life is undoubtedly a major event in the life of young parents. We are often willing to do anything that "might be useful" for their birth.

However, bird's nest is just a way of exchanging money for a little psychological comfort - if you understand that bird's nest has no "pregnancy-protecting" effect, you can use the money on something more meaningful for your child. The psychological satisfaction obtained in this way has the same "pregnancy-preserving" effect as the psychological comfort brought by eating bird's nest.

According to the advice of modern science, pregnant women should pay attention to the following in order to "protect the fetus": avoid confrontational sports, but maintain moderate and regular physical activity; eat a balanced and healthy diet; maintain a happy mood; maintain a reasonable weight; supplement folic acid; avoid smoking and drinking; consult a doctor before taking any medication, etc.

Pregnancy is a very important and difficult process for a person. Abortion is extremely harmful to a person, and many people often lose their rights as mothers because of a miscarriage. From this we can see that people should give pregnant women more care and attention during pregnancy to help them give birth safely.
