Will I be deformed if I don't avoid certain foods during pregnancy?

Families with eugenics plans have a preparation for pregnancy before pregnancy. You must understand that the diet of expectant mothers is directly digested by the fetus, and your every move will affect the health of the baby. I didn't realize I was pregnant in the early stages of pregnancy, so I didn't follow any dietary restrictions. What impact would that have on the baby? Would not following any dietary restrictions cause a malformed fetus? Yes, it is recommended to attach great importance to fetal abnormality screening. What foods can cause fetal deformities? Let’s take a look together below!

1. Tobacco, alcohol, freshly ground coffee and drinks containing ethanol, melanin and additives

When a pregnant mother smokes, the carbon monoxide content in her blood increases, which can cause fetal developmental defects and increase the incidence of congenital heart disease, cleft lip and palate, cleft palate, and pyloric stenosis after birth. Drinking too much alcohol can cause fetal growth retardation, facial deformities, and delayed IQ and language development after birth.

2. Too much acidic fruit

Chinese people have always used acidic fruits to relieve vomiting during pregnancy, but this method is not advisable. Pregnant women consume too much meat, fish, chocolate, sugar and other acidic foods, their blood will change, forming a kind of "alkalinity", which will further increase the level of catecholamines in the blood, and then cause negative emotions such as anxiety in pregnant women. This kind of negative emotion can increase the secretion of hormones and other toxic substances in the pregnant mother, which is an important cause of cleft palate, cleft lip and palate, and other organ deformation in the fetus.

3. Beef liver

Germany and the United Kingdom have clearly advised pregnant women to eat less beef liver. Because too many fattening agents are added to modern concentrated feeds for quick fattening of livestock, the vitamin D content is very high, resulting in a large amount of deposits in protein foods. If pregnant mothers eat more beef liver, a large amount of vitamin D will easily enter the body, which will cause great harm to the baby's development and may even cause fetal malformation.

4. Long-term storage of potatoes

Potatoes contain flavonoids, and the longer the potatoes are stored, the higher the flavonoid content. Eating too much of this kind of potatoes can affect the normal growth and development of the fetus and cause fetal deformation. Of course, people vary greatly, and not everyone will experience abnormalities after taking it, but it is better for pregnant mothers not to eat it, especially potatoes that have been stored for a long time.

5. Tuna

Pregnant women who like to eat bluefin tuna should pay attention! The British Environmental Protection Agency has found that the liquid mercury content in 7 kinds of seafood, including bluefin tuna, is not optimistic and exceeds the budget. Pregnant women who consume it frequently may give birth to deformed fetuses. Some doctors point out that if the fetus absorbs too much mercury during pregnancy, it will affect the development of brain nerves, cause defects in future learning ability, and cause complications such as slow IQ development.

The above is a detailed introduction to several types of food that may cause fetal deformities. We hope that all expectant mothers will pay attention to them. Will not controlling your diet lead to a deformed fetus? As long as it is good for the baby, I believe that expectant mothers should avoid certain foods and not ruin their baby's life just because of a few months of being in it. If you are in the early stages of pregnancy and have not discovered you are pregnant and have eaten food that may cause pregnancy, you should pay attention to pregnancy checkups, do not miss out on regular maintenance, and attach great importance to test results.
