It is generally recommended to stop taking folic acid. The key during pregnancy is not to be picky about food, and eat as wide and diverse a diet as possible. Eat more high-protein and high-quality protein foods and more vegetables and fruits. Don't drink alcohol or coffee, quit smoking, and avoid contact with toxic substances and radiation sources. If the allergy is severe, go to the hospital for examination in time.

Effects of allergies in pregnant women on the fetus

1. It’s okay if you don’t take medicine, it won’t affect the baby. However, if the itching is severe, it will affect the baby if you take medicine. Medicines for treating allergies usually contain hormones. However, you should avoid taking anti-allergic drugs during pregnancy as they are not good for the fetus. Pregnant women should pay more attention to allergens and try to avoid them.

2. If you are allergic to seafood, it may be passed on to your children. Allergic diseases are hereditary. According to relevant statistics, if one parent has allergies, the probability of their children developing allergic diseases is about 20%-40%. If both parents have allergic constitutions, the probability of their children getting the disease will reach 40%-60%. In addition, one-third of women with pollen allergies experienced worsening, relief, or no change in their pollen allergies after pregnancy.

When there is a fetus in the belly, pregnant women must protect themselves well and provide a healthy development environment for the child. Pregnant women with allergies should remember not to take medication casually, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. This is a critical period for the development of the fetus' organs. Taking medication may very likely cause fetal malformations. I hope every pregnant woman will be vigilant and take good care of the fetus in her belly.

Differentiate between allergy types

1. Asthma

Asthma is a chronic bronchial disease. When it occurs, the trachea swells due to inflammation, the airways become narrow, and breathing becomes difficult. Asthma can be divided into two types: exogenous and endogenous.

(1) Exogenous asthma: It is caused by allergens, including dust mites, pollen, animal dander, grass, cockroaches, indoor mold and outdoor mold, etc. However, not every person with the disease will be allergic to all of the above allergens. Each person has different triggers, so the prevention and treatment methods will also be different. In addition to allergens, emotional excitement or strenuous exercise can trigger asthma attacks. This type of asthma usually occurs in young children.

(2) Endogenous asthma: At present, the cause of endogenous asthma is not very clear, but heredity is a very important factor. People who suffer from this type of asthma are generally adults and women. There are usually no particularly obvious signs in the early stages of the disease, and the symptoms are very similar to those of common frost and wind colds.

Harm to the fetus: If an asthma attack is not treated in time, the mother's blood oxygen protection will not be sufficient, which will cause fetal intrauterine hypoxia.

Common coping methods: Seek medical attention promptly. At present, although there is no evidence that drugs for treating asthma will have adverse effects on expectant mothers and fetuses, for safety reasons, doctors generally recommend local medication first, using inhaled hormone stimulants or β2 stimulants.

The simplest prevention method: If you have a history of asthma, you should be examined and treated before pregnancy, and wait until your physical condition stabilizes before getting pregnant.
