Can I drink mung bean soup when I am pregnant?

For women who have just become pregnant, the qi and blood in their bodies have not yet stabilized completely and they are not yet in the state of preparing for pregnancy. Their bodies are still changing, so you should be careful about miscarriage and accidents in the first three months of pregnancy. Try not to drink mung bean soup when you first become pregnant, at least not within three months.

Can I drink mung bean soup during pregnancy?

The hot summer is even more unbearable for expectant mothers. In order to relieve the heat and replenish water, some pregnant women often cook mung bean soup to drink, but they are worried that drinking too much will have adverse effects on the fetus. Can pregnant women drink mung bean soup? Pediatricians point out that pregnant women can drink mung bean soup, but don't add too much sugar.

In fact, drinking mung bean soup is indeed a good way for pregnant women to relieve heat, but it is not suitable for long-term drinking, so try to drink less. Because mung beans are yin, they are not suitable for expectant mothers with cold temperament and weak spleen to drink for a long time. It is best to add some red beans and dates when cooking mung beans, which can replenish qi and nourish blood. Don't put too much sugar in the mung bean soup to avoid gestational hyperglycemia.

In addition, the doctor also pointed out that for pregnant women to relieve heat in summer, drinking mung bean soup is not as good as drinking red bean (adzuki bean) soup, because red bean soup can be a diuretic and can eliminate leg swelling in the late pregnancy.
