Dietary considerations during early pregnancy

As a pregnant mother, you actually need to be extra careful and attentive in all aspects, and you should also be extra particular about your diet. During pregnancy, you really need to know that some foods are not suitable for consumption, because some foods that you normally like to eat will have adverse effects on the fetus if you eat too much during pregnancy. For example, spicy and hot seasonings. Chili, Sichuan pepper, pepper, cumin, star anise, cinnamon, five-spice powder, etc. can easily consume intestinal water and reduce gastrointestinal secretion, causing stomach pain, hemorrhoids, and constipation. When constipated, pregnant women hold their breath and force themselves to defecate, which increases abdominal pressure and compresses the fetus in the uterus, easily causing adverse consequences such as fetal movement disorder and premature birth.

Many pregnant mothers prefer to eat sour hawthorn, but hawthorn has a stimulating effect on the uterus. Excessive consumption can cause uterine contraction and lead to miscarriage, so eat less. In addition, there are some stimulant foods, such as caffeinated beverages and foods. If pregnant women drink large amounts of them, they will experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and rapid heartbeat. Caffeine can also enter the fetus through the placenta and affect fetal development. Tea contains rich caffeine. Drinking tea will increase the heart rate of pregnant women, increase the burden on their heart and kidneys, and is not conducive to the healthy development of the fetus.

Sweets are actually not very suitable, because the metabolism of sugars and other substances in the human body will consume a lot of calcium. Calcium deficiency during pregnancy will affect the development of fetal teeth and bones. Eating too much chocolate is also not good, as it will make pregnant women feel full and affect their appetite. As a result, they will gain weight but lack essential nutrients.
