Excessive vaginal discharge and vulvar itching are mostly unrelated to pregnancy and are generally considered to be caused by gynecological diseases. Leucorrhea is often a manifestation of gynecological diseases, the most common of which are vaginitis, cervicitis and other diseases. When female friends suffer from these gynecological diseases, not only will the amount of leucorrhea increase, but it will also cause itching in the vulva area. If female friends encounter such situations in daily life, it is best to go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for examination in time and receive treatment as soon as possible to avoid adverse effects on women's health and pregnancy. The most obvious sign of a woman's pregnancy is amenorrhea. She may also experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting.

3. "Six foods" that are beneficial to pregnant women:

(1) Whole-wheat products: including whole-wheat biscuits, oatmeal, whole-wheat bread, etc.;

(2) Milk and soy products: Pregnant women should consume about 1,000 mg of calcium every day, and just three cups of skim milk can meet this requirement;

(3) Fruits: There are many kinds of fruits, which are rich in vitamin C, folic acid and a lot of fiber. They can help pregnant women maintain their physical strength and prevent fatigue caused by dehydration.

(4) Lean meat: Lean meat is rich in iron and is easily absorbed by the human body;

(5) Vegetables: Dark-colored vegetables often mean high vitamin content;

(6) Dried fruits: Nuts such as peanuts contain unsaturated fats that are good for heart health.

4. “Six Don’ts”: Foods Harmful to Pregnant Women:

(1) Spicy and hot spices: Chili peppers, Sichuan peppers, and peppers easily consume intestinal water and reduce gastrointestinal secretions, causing stomach pain, hemorrhoids, and constipation;

(2) Foods with stimulant effects: If pregnant women drink large amounts of caffeinated beverages and foods, they will experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and increased heart rate.

(3) Sweets: The metabolism of sugars in the human body consumes a lot of calcium, which will affect the development of fetal teeth and bones;

(4) MSG: MSG is a common condiment, but pregnant women should be careful not to eat it;

(5) Ginseng, longan and other tonic foods: Most pregnant women have a deficiency of yin and blood. Eating ginseng can cause qi to be strong and yin to be depleted, aggravating early pregnancy reactions, edema and high blood pressure. Longan is pungent and warm, and can help boost yang. Eating longan can cause bleeding and miscarriage in pregnant women.

(6) Foods containing additives: The additives and dietary restrictions contained in canned foods are risk factors for teratogenesis and miscarriage.

5. Calcium Supplementation

If a pregnant woman is calcium deficient, the needs of the fetus' growth and development cannot be met. At this time, the mother can only use the calcium and phosphorus in her bones and teeth to increase the blood calcium level to supply the needs of the fetus. If pregnant women fail to supplement calcium and vitamin D in a timely and sufficient manner, they may experience symptoms such as calf cramps, postpartum osteomalacia, and loose teeth.
