Can I eat peaches when I'm pregnant?

In summer and autumn, peaches begin to slowly enter our lives. Peaches have a good taste and are rich in nutritional value, containing calcium, phosphorus, protein, fat, sugar, iron and other ingredients. But we know that there are differences in diet between pregnant women and ordinary people. There are some good things that you can eat at normal times, but you can’t eat them after you become pregnant. So, can you eat peaches when you are just pregnant? Let’s take a look below.

What to eat during early pregnancy

Most expectant mothers in the early stages of pregnancy are troubled by pregnancy reactions and have poor appetite. During this stage, expectant mothers do not need to deliberately force themselves to eat more. Instead of worrying about chicken, duck, fish and meat every day, it is better to choose more of their favorite foods to increase their appetite. There is no need to force yourself to eat greasy or appetite-suppressing foods.

The early pregnancy is the stage when the main organs of the fetus develop and form, especially the neural tube and major internal organs. During this period, the fetus's organ development particularly requires vitamins and minerals, especially folic acid, iron, and zinc. However, it is usually difficult for pregnant mothers to determine when they are pregnant. Therefore, they must pay attention to supplementing additional vitamins and minerals from the beginning of preparing for pregnancy.

First of all, the critical period for fetal neural tube development is from 17 to 30 days in early pregnancy. At this time, if folic acid intake is insufficient, it may cause abnormal development of the fetal nervous system. Therefore, folic acid supplementation should be started from the time of pregnancy planning to effectively prevent fetal neural tube defects. Many natural foods are rich in folic acid, including various green vegetables, animal liver and kidney, beans, fruits, dairy products, etc.

After pregnancy, the blood volume of the pregnant woman expands and the need for iron will double. Therefore, pregnant mothers should supplement iron as early as possible to prevent iron deficiency anemia and its adverse consequences. If you do not pay attention to your iron intake, you can easily develop iron deficiency anemia, and your fetus may also develop iron deficiency anemia.
