Diet level

1. Avoid eating too much old brown sugar. Traditional pharmacology believes that old brown sugar is warm in nature, has the effect of nourishing blood and digesting food. Although this statement is not wrong, it cannot become a necessary nutritional supplement for pregnant women. Because brown sugar has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, excessive consumption will further aggravate the symptoms of vaginal bleeding in pregnant women.

2. It is advisable to eat vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits have always been classified as raw food by everyone, and are generally believed to have a negative effect on the stomach of pregnant women. In fact, this kind of name is incorrect. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and soy protein, which are of great help to the physical recovery of pregnant women and the increase of breast milk.

3. Many elderly people believe that drinking more porridge can replenish the lost water in the body of pregnant women and quickly increase the secretion of milk. However, the prerequisite for lactation is that the mammary ducts are unobstructed so that the secreted milk is not easily blocked and causes breast pain. Don't rush to drink milk-inducing soup after giving birth. The baby should be let to suck the mother's breast first to make the mammary ducts unobstructed, and then eat soup to supplement it. Remember not to give pregnant women too much greasy nourishing soup, which will continuously increase the fat rate of the pregnant woman's body and have a certain impact on the baby.
